Question: For whom Mr. Lisberg made the declaration?

“The irony, of course, is that the newspaper which first raised the alarm about the breast augmentation ads runs far more explicit advertisements in their own pages,” said Mr. Lisberg, a former City Hall bureau chief for The News. “So trying to keep a family-friendly public environment in New York City can be challenging.” Some think the authority may be too cautious. Jason Dorsey, the chief strategy officer at the Center for Generational Kinetics, which studies marketing to young people, said the message was not harmful.

Question: When did You move to NY

My best friend and I are going through a rough patch, but I’m pretty sure she’s not even aware of it. We moved to New York after college 10 years ago and still live together. Work is going well for us; we both date. But she has been getting more and more critical of friends, potential boyfriends and co-workers every day. I hate to use the word “toxic,” but that’s what it feels like. She never stops judging. Should I extricate myself or what?

Question: Who was surprised to see Sandy in a traditional grandmother role?

Emily was surprised to see her mother so at ease in the traditional role of Felix’s bubbe (Yiddish for “grandmother”). As a parent in the 1970s, Sandy turned every interaction with her children into a political act. During story time, she would go through their picture books with a bottle of Wite-Out and a Magic Marker, changing a hero’s name from male to female, revising plot lines, adding long hair or breasts to some of the drawings. Story time was a different experience with Felix. Sandy would cuddle with the baby and turn pages. If she couldn’t remember the word for “zebra” or “lion,” she wouldn’t fuss about it. “Oh, it’s some animal,” she would say.

Question: What type of approach does Mrs. Clinton use for her policies?

“A lot of what he says resonates with what you and I would call ‘reasonable, thinking people,’” Mr. Rendell said. “That’s the part that I think is important for Hillary or any Republican running, or Bernie Sanders, or anybody. That’s the part that I think is important for them to realize.” Many of Mrs. Clinton’s advisers say they still doubt Mr. Trump will be the Republican nominee, but they have contemplated what it would mean for Mrs. Clinton, a policy wonk known for her 12-point plans to approach problems, to run against the visceral Mr. Trump, said several of those advisers who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Question: What country would be invited to contribute to the Navy's offensive naval warfare effort?

In another example of the Pentagon’s growing criticism of China’s efforts, a senior Navy commander, Rear Adm. Christopher J. Paul, said last month in Australia that there were countries “who attempt to constrict movement through international waters, who create land areas where there were none; who create exclusion zones where there should be shared use.” In response, he said, the Navy is creating “hunter-killer surface action groups” of ships. He suggested that Australia, one of America’s top allies, would be invited to contribute to the new efforts in offensive naval warfare.

Question: What is Daniel Bruhl's profession?

A legal fight over the struggle for ownership of an artwork is hardly the stuff of high drama. And the screenplay can’t find a way to make that conflict, or the ethical and moral issues involved, compelling beyond the obvious guessing game of who will win. Maria’s ambivalence about continuing to pursue what sometimes seems to be a hopeless quest is the dramatic core of the film. Once she and Randy arrive in Vienna, the paperwork concerning the painting’s history is withheld from them. Only with the help of a local journalist (Daniel Brühl) can they penetrate the wall of secrecy and evasion and learn that the painting, commissioned by Adele’s husband, and later acquired by the Belvedere’s duplicitous curator, belonged not to Adele, but to her husband, who willed it to his heirs.

Question: Spice is sometimes legally marketed as potpourri or what else?

Although the use of spice has decreased in recent years, according to some surveys, the drug continues to be sold by street dealers, as well as openly on the Internet and at smoke shops and other retailers, as potpourri or incense with brand names like Scooby Snax and Black Diamond. Spice’s health effects have been underscored in recent months by a surge in emergency room visits and calls to poison centers, for symptoms that can include extreme anxiety, violent behavior and delusions. Intermittent reports from several states suggest that at least 1,000 Americans have died since 2009 after smoking spice. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not track national data for spice or other synthetic drugs, including those popularly known as bath salts or flakka.

Question: Prior to Mr. Sisi, who was previously the armed forces chief?

The cabinet’s resignation also illustrated a political dilemma facing Mr. Sisi, the former armed forces chief who took power during a wave of nationalist fervor following the military’s removal of Mr. Morsi. In spite of the significant cult of personality around Mr. Sisi, his government has failed to resolve a number of problems facing Egypt. Those troubles include a steady deterioration in its security. The government has been unable to end a violent insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula in which militants have been carrying out ever more brazen attacks. Egypt also faces deep economic uncertainty, disappointing hopes raised at a much-promoted international investment conference in March and the opening of an expansion of the Suez Canal in August. The stock market has swooned since the conference, which had been billed as a move to restart the economy after years of instability in the wake of the 2011 uprising that ejected President Mubarak from power.

Question: What colleges provided the New York Times with requested data on concussion tracking, training, and protocols?

In 2012, Dr. Paul Echlin, who helped develop a concussion curriculum in Canadian schools, led a small study of two Canadian college teams and found that female hockey players sustained concussions almost twice as frequently as men did. The New York Times contacted every N.C.A.A. Division I women’s hockey program by email or telephone to ask about concussion tracking, training and protocol details. Almost two-thirds of colleges did not respond with any information, some citing confidentiality. Only Cornell and New Hampshire provided all of the requested data. USA Hockey and Hockey Canada did not provide staff members for interviews to detail their concussion programs, instead referring to information on their websites. “The problem is these organizations are dancing around the issue,” Echlin said, citing concerns about participation numbers as a reason that national federations might not be more forthcoming.

Question: Who expected them to know much of the basics?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Judge Fields presides over which county in Texas?

Walter Fairbanks, fire chief in Cisco, about 100 miles west of Fort Worth, confirmed that there was one fatality when the tornado hit Saturday afternoon near the town. Authorities were going house to house to assess the damage, but that proved difficult amid the heavy rainfall, Judge Rex Fields of Eastland County said. “There is a considerable amount of damage,” Judge Fields, who also serves as the county’s emergency services coordinator, told The Associated Press. “Homes have been lost.” The extent of injuries or fatalities was not immediately clear there or in the town of Burkburnett, Tex., about 15 miles north of Wichita Falls, where a second tornado struck. A police dispatcher who declined to give her name because of department policy said tornado sirens could be heard in Burkburnett just before 6 p.m. The storm was about 30 miles outside Fort Worth around 8:30 p.m., but the National Weather Service had canceled tornado warnings in the counties still in its path.

Question: What speed is the food that is mentioned?

Next door is Gucci, the first American store to open under the guidance of the new creative director, Alessandro Michele. His vision — which emphasizes the brand’s traditional marks, logos and patterns, with a little extra naturalist flair — is an optimal fit for this location, as close to a fast-food environment as one can get while purchasing a reversible nylon bomber for $1,400, or a polo shirt with a snake embroidered into the collar for $810. The store is large and spare, not contemplative so much as blunt, and emphasizes items (like three-stripe sneakers and logo-print handbags) that are identifiable to even the most confused shopper. The store is currently carrying the cruise collection, but still it captures the conflict between Mr. Michele’s responsibilities to the brand as a source of innovation and as a source of gift-shop totems, two approaches to luxury that don’t always complement each other.

Question: What idea does Leive say is not true?

I think everybody does better if they really like some aspect of what they’re doing, but work is work. We can’t all work in jobs where we feel like our heart is singing every day. There’s that old expression, “If work was that great, the rich would keep it for themselves.” The idea that your job is going to make your heart sing on a daily basis is just not true. If that’s the expectation of a 25-year-old today, they’re going to be sorely disappointed. But you can aim for a pretty good heart-singing-to-bummed-out ratio.

Question: In what Mr. Obama spent the money assigned for his camping?

Ever since the Supreme Court permitted political committees to raise unlimited sums for independent spending, the super PAC has occupied a growing place in the political ecosystem. The 2012 version of presidential super PACs mainly paid for ads. Restore Our Future, the PAC supporting Mr. Romney, spent 97.6 percent of its $142 million in independent expenditures — messages advocating Mr. Romney’s election or the defeat of his opponents — on broadcast ads and mail. Priorities USA Action, which backed Mr. Obama, spent almost exclusively on TV, radio and online advertising, according to Federal Election Commission records. Together with the national parties, both sides managed to raise and spend nearly $2 billion. Some donors balked at giving large amounts of money for negative television ads, so a Democratic super PAC was created to help conduct opposition research.

Question: What food was meaty and tender?

This appetizer aside, seafood is Orama’s strength. The high-quality shrimp and lobster cocktail gained zip with a chunky sauce of diced tomatoes, olive oil and Fresno chiles. The grilled octopus, another appetizer, was meaty and tender and presented on a bed of fennel, red onions, capers and roasted tomatoes, all caramelized with a balsamic vinegar. The winning crab cake, gently held together with Dijon mustard and mayonnaise and coated in crunchy Panko breadcrumbs, was laden with jumbo lump meat pieces. The shrimp Santorini — jumbo shrimp in a smooth and garlicky tomato sauce, with pieces of feta — was hearty and comforting. But we fawned over the crispy sea bass the most. The entire fish is first grilled, then given a quick fry before being glazed with a spicy sweet-and-sour sauce and topped with a stir-fry of Napa cabbage, sliced bell peppers and button and enoki mushrooms. The tasty and crisp exterior revealed a moist fish inside.

The high-quality shrimp and lobster cocktail gained zip with a chunky sauce of diced tomatoes, olive oil and Fresno chiles. <hl> The grilled octopus , another appetizer, was meaty and tender and presented on a bed of fennel, red onions, capers and roasted tomatoes, all caramelized with a balsamic vinegar. <hl> The winning crab cake, gently held together with Dijon mustard and mayonnaise and coated in crunchy Panko breadcrumbs, was laden with jumbo lump meat pieces. The shrimp Santorini — jumbo shrimp in a smooth and garlicky tomato sauce, with pieces of feta — was hearty and comforting. But we fawned over the crispy sea bass the most. The entire fish is first grilled, then given a quick fry before being glazed with a spicy sweet-and-sour sauce and topped with a stir-fry of Napa cabbage, sliced bell peppers and button and enoki mushrooms. The tasty and crisp exterior revealed a moist fish inside.

Question: What's the best material to use for a surround when you want a lot of luxury?

Ms. Enger recommended using a “clean and simple” design that would appeal to both modern and traditional tastes. “Most people today don’t want anything too fussy,” she said. It’s also important to be aware of how the original surround was built. Many surrounds are made from brick veneer that is just stuck onto the wall, Ms. Enger said, and they can be removed relatively easily and replaced. But if the brick is an integral part of the wall, a cover-up job may be required. If you’re aiming for all-out luxury, you might consider installing a custom stone surround. Ms. Enger built a clean-lined limestone mantel for a spec house in Hoboken that she and her husband sold last May, she said, and it became one of the home’s most talked-about selling features. “It was something that everyone – realtors, potential buyers and friends – loved,” she said. Just be aware, she added, that “it’s definitely more pricey than wood or paint.”

Question: About how many years ago was the U.N. organization created?

The United Nations has had eight secretaries general. All have been men. Each has been selected through back-room dealing dominated by the five world powers that hold permanent seats on the Security Council. It’s time to change that. The appointment of the civil servant who serves as the next head of the United Nations should be more transparent. It would be powerfully symbolic to appoint a woman to the helm of an organization created 70 years ago to tackle the world’s most pressing problems through diplomacy and global consensus. Encouragingly, both objectives are being championed this year with unprecedented vigor within the United Nations as the current secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, moves toward the end of his second five-year term on Dec. 31, 2016.

Question: What is a way of reducing your risk that a thief will file a fake return with your name?

■ How can I reduce my risk of tax-refund fraud? If you filed your federal taxes last year from Florida, Georgia or the District of Columbia, which are considered high-risk areas for tax-related identity theft, you can apply for the federal PIN under an I.R.S. pilot program even if you haven’t been a victim. Otherwise, Haywood Talcove, chief executive of LexisNexis Government, advises filing your tax return as soon as possible to reduce the chance that a thief will file a fake return in your name first; changing the username and password you use for your online tax filing program is a good idea too, he added. Also, be aware that the I.R.S. doesn’t initiate contact by email; so any such message is likely fraudulent, and recipients shouldn’t divulge any information in response, said Doug Shadel, an expert with AARP Fraud Watch Network. ■ How can I protect sensitive information like my Social Security number?

Question: Who is the college president of Columbia?

A 2011 survey showed that 37 percent of college presidents lived in official residences and that an additional 29 percent received housing allowances, according to the American Council on Education. The fair-market value of housing is included in compensation on reports that colleges must file with the Internal Revenue Service. While most employees would regard free housing as an enticing perk, more than a few college presidents have complained about the lack of privacy at these official residences, which are frequently used as venues for university celebrations and fund-raisers. Several presidents have rejected living in the official residence, including Dr. Gee’s successor at Vanderbilt, Nicholas S. Zeppos, who declined to move into the mansion, which is currently used for university functions. Some colleges, however, require presidents to live on campus. Among them, according to a university spokesman, is Columbia, where the president, Lee C. Bollinger, lives in the official residence. His compensation in 2013 included $360,000 that the university estimated was the annual fair-market rent of his use of the house. While president at N.Y.U., Dr. Sexton has not lived in the apartment at 37 West Washington Square, which is officially designated as the president’s residence. In his emailed statement, Mr. Beckman said the apartment had been occupied by several of Dr. Sexton’s predecessors, but that when Dr. Sexton was named president, he chose to remain in the faculty apartment he had occupied since the late 1980s, which is down the street in another university-owned building.

Question: Did Mr. Sweat surrender when he was ordered to stop running?

Two days later, a state police sergeant happened upon Mr. Sweat on a rural road a mile and a half from the Canadian border. He chased him into an open field, and when the prisoner refused his order to stop running, the sergeant, a firearms instructor, dropped to one knee and fired, striking him twice from a distance of more than 50 yards with a .45-caliber pistol, two people briefed on the shooting said. Mr. Sweat provided the account to investigators from the State Police, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, and the State Inspector General’s Office during several sessions in recent weeks, according to the people briefed on his statements. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the investigation. The escape, the manhunt and the resulting spectacle proved to be an embarrassment for the Corrections Department and the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.

Question: Did the government approve or deny the foundation to represent Iraq?

Ms. Chalabi, a daughter of Ahmad Chalabi, the onetime United States-backed Iraqi opposition leader, said her foundation asked to represent Iraq again after organizing the last pavilion, in 2013. The government gave approval and curatorial “carte blanche,” she said, but no money. The foundation chose Philippe Van Cauteren, artistic director of the S.M.A.K. contemporary art museum in Ghent, Belgium, to put together the exhibition, and funded it with 600,000 euros (about $675,000) from private Iraqi companies and individuals.

Question: Who trained the A.L.P.?

The widespread nature of the problem has prompted Mr. Ghani to order an immediate “personnel asset inventory,” official said. Mr. Atmar said the increase in recruitment of the A.L.P. was to “front-load” for other national forces, with the goal of eventually using the new recruits to fill the vacancies that exist in the army and the police. The Afghan Local Police were established by American commanders as a low-cost auxiliary force trained by the United States Special Forces. But even when units have been under direct American supervision, some have committed abuses. Several assessments, the most comprehensive of them by the International Crisis Group, have concluded that the A.L.P. “has not improved security in many places and even exacerbated the conflict in many districts.”

Question: Why does a person take care of the bill?

“You’re not listening!” he said. “After that, whenever I went out with people more successful than me, I always judged them by the words of my boss. The people I wanted to do business with or start a friendship with were those who offered to pick up the bill; the shady characters were those who just sat back and waited for someone to pay. And when I started picking up the tab for my friends and on business meals as I became wealthier, everyone’s view of me changed. They knew me now as someone who would take care of business,” whether that meant the meal in front of them or things of more substance. “How about if I pay this time, and you pay next time?” I said. “But you don’t pay the bill to build a reputation,” he replied, ignoring my offer. “You pay because it’s the right thing to do. You really don’t know the financial situation of the other person whenever you go out, so just offer; if the person is wealthier than you, he’ll take care of you, no worries. You always take care of those worse off than you — call it Jesus or charity or good business or whatever, but you always do. Now, let me pay the bill.” He won.

Question: When did a popular uprising occur which caused a turbulent period to begin?

Security forces disrupted what was described as a “large-scale attack” in Burkina Faso, arresting 13 suspects and seizing weapons and bomb-making materials in the west near Mali’s border, the security minister said Friday. News of the arrests comes two days before the West African nation holds elections, capping a turbulent period that began with a popular uprising in October 2014 and a brief, failed coup in September. Burkina Faso has set up checkpoints at the entrances to cities and plans to close its borders for Sunday’s voting.

Question: When have Red Bull cars excelled this season?

“The factory teams fear and know that we would be faster than them,” said Dietrich Mateschitz, the billionaire founder and director of the Red Bull energy drink company in Austria that owns the team. Thanks to their superior design, the Red Bull cars have excelled this season whenever engine power was less import than aerodynamics and the chassis. On a wet track during the first part of the U.S. Grand Prix last month, for example, the Red Bulls led the race. At the Mexican Grand Prix on Nov. 1, in high-altitude conditions that weakened engine power, the Red Bulls again emerged stronger.

Question: How many R.B.I. did The Mets' pitchers earn?

Afterward, Manager Terry Collins said Cuddyer had been available, but he had waited too long, and the right situation had never arisen, so Cuddyer remained on the bench. The Mets’ lone hit with runners in scoring position Monday came, of course, from their pitcher, Harvey. With the bases loaded in the fourth, he flipped a single into right field, scoring two runs. He had hit a two-run homer in his previous start, in a two-run Mets win. “Just try to put the ball in play,” Harvey said. The Mets’ pitchers have set an example for the whole team, compiling 17 R.B.I., the most of any pitching staff in baseball. Harvey retired the final 14 batters he faced. Some of the outs were well hit, but he pitched as if he wanted to compensate for those five early runs. Ending with a flourish, he struck out Harper looking at a stinging 98-mile-per-hour fastball, on his 99th and final pitch.

Question: How many people from the United States were injured?

Video taken at the scene showed the flames erupting within the crowd at the event — called Color Play Asia and organized by a group using the same name — about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, after nightfall. Some people were shown carrying the injured from the scene in inflatable rafts, and others were shown running away, silhouetted by flames. The fire was quickly controlled, but not before hundreds were hurt. Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare said on its website that Taipei-area hospitals had victims requiring skin grafts. The ministry said hospitals were also urgently requesting other medical supplies needed to treat burns. The victims were mostly from Taiwan, but among the injured were four people from Hong Kong, one person from the United States, one from Singapore, one from Japan, one from Macau and one from Malaysia, according to the local public health department.

Answer: one person

Video taken at the scene showed the flames erupting within the crowd at the event — called Color Play Asia and organized by a group using the same name — about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, after nightfall. Some people were shown carrying the injured from the scene in inflatable rafts, and others were shown running away, silhouetted by flames. The fire was quickly controlled, but not before hundreds were hurt. Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare said on its website that Taipei-area hospitals had victims requiring skin grafts. The ministry said hospitals were also urgently requesting other medical supplies needed to treat burns. <hl> The victims were mostly from Taiwan, but among the injured were four people from Hong Kong, one person from the United States, one from Singapore, one from Japan, one from Macau and one from Malaysia, according to the local public health department. <hl>

Question: What do human rights groups usually have problems getting into?

Question: Was there turnout on Saturday when the results were announced?

“Whether it’s weakening our defenses, raising taxes on jobs and earnings, racking up more debt and welfare or driving up the cost of living by printing money — Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party will hurt working people,” he said in a statement. More worrying for Mr. Corbyn will be internal critics. Steven Fielding, professor of political history at Nottingham University, said that the emphatic nature of Mr. Corbyn’s victory made it likely that his opponents would keep quiet for some months, and hope for him to trip up. “I think there will be some kind of cease-fire, and that they will see how it goes, assuming that in six to 12 months, Labour’s opinion poll position will start to fall, and then they can start acting more assertively,” Mr. Fielding said. Doing so more quickly might risk the wrath of the party supporters, many of whom have been energized by Mr. Corbyn’s campaign, Mr. Fielding added. On Saturday they thronged the conference center where the results were announced, some cheering or chanting.

Question: What is the English-language translation for the name of the Petrobras Investigation?

If any good has come from the Petrobras debacle it is the flickering sense that this time could be different. Part of the reason is the work of Judge Sérgio Moro, who is overseeing the investigation, officially known as Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Carwash. In Brazil, judges have wide latitude to define both the direction and scope of criminal inquiries, and Judge Moro’s willingness to pursue even the eminent and influential has made him a folk hero. During a recent visit to the courthouse where he presides in Curitiba, ribbons of yellow and green, the national colors, were tied around trees, quiet expressions of solidarity and support. Another source of public optimism can be found on the eighth floor of an office building a few miles away, in rooms that could pass for a low-budget telemarketing operation. This is home to the team of nine prosecutors working on Lava Jato, as everyone here calls it.

Question: What group did Emmanuel Nahshon speak out against?

The Israeli government, which has become increasingly concerned by the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement, reacted swiftly, describing the church’s positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as distorted and historically biased against Israel. “The U.C.C. resolutions on the Middle East conflict have reflected the most radical politics for more than a decade, and in no way reflect a moral stance or reality-based position,” said Emmanuel Nahshon, spokesman for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “People of faith ought to be acting to help Israel and the Palestinians to renew efforts to achieve peace, rather than endlessly demonizing one party in the conflict — in our view, the aggrieved party.” StandWithUs, a pro-Israeli advocacy group based in Los Angeles, condemned what it called “anti-Israel extremists within the U.C.C.” for promoting both resolutions debated on Tuesday. “In doing so, they severely damaged the U.C.C.’s relationship with the vast majority of the Jewish community, promoted hatred and discrimination against Israelis, and undermined efforts to achieve a just peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” the group said in a statement on its website.

Question: what publication job did Georgie work for?

“So my grades were not great,” she said. One day she was summoned to the dean’s office. “Georgie,” she remembered the dean saying, “you have not made a hit socially or academically. How would you like to transfer to Princeton?” (The Ivy League school started accepting women in 1969.) “I said, ‘How would I get in?’ She told me not to worry, that it had been arranged, to just go. Being stubborn, I refused.” In the next three years, she worked hard, was elected president of the student government as well as the Glamour magazine representative for the school. She accepted that honor, she said, “wearing my usual uniform, the bluejeans, army jacket and boots.”

Question: What type of story has the same drama as this one?

With the simplicity of a fable and the drama of a psychological thriller, Ball tells a story about starting over from nothing, reconstructing life from its most basic elements. These acts of narrative deconstruction highlight his strength as a deeply questioning writer at home in fact as much as abstraction. In the village’s cemetery, Ball deconstructs death. Noting that gravestones are “irrational” because they prolong suffering while failing to bring back the dead, the claimant wonders: “But, if life is just that, just being reasonable, then there is nothing in it — nothing worthwhile. So, the yearning that we have to keep dead things living — or to make unreasonable things reasonable. That is why a person should live.”

Question: Which subject is considered off limits?

By Alice Gregory Doing something for 40-plus hours a week will determine a great deal of what goes on in your mind. There’s a sentiment pervasive among the people I know that one should not talk about work while socializing. Religion is not off limits, politics is not off limits, but work most definitely is. One of the greatest compliments you can pay a host of a party is to say, in an email the following day: “That was so much fun. I didn’t talk about work once.” In her recently published diary, “The Folded Clock,” the novelist Heidi Julavits writes: “I prefer to have dinner parties where nobody talks about their careers. Isn’t that the mark of a failed dinner party?” I adore Julavits’s books — this one in particular — but I completely disagree.

Question: What state did Eric Burlison claim that the legislation would draw business to?

State Representative Eric Burlison, who sponsored the legislation and says it would draw new businesses to Missouri, said he was “optimistic” about getting the veto overturned but stopped far short of forecasting a victory. Union leaders said they were hopeful that the veto would hold up. “I would say this is completely up in the air,” said Mr. Burlison, a Republican from Springfield. “But I feel no matter what happens that we’re making progress.” The right-to-work policy has become law in Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan — states with Republican governors and Republican-controlled legislatures — in recent years despite vocal objections from organized labor. The bill has been introduced a number of times in Missouri, but only this year made it to the desk of Mr. Nixon, whose veto had been widely expected. Supporters of the legislation say it would attract businesses to the state and prevent nonunion workers from paying for union services they do not want. But union leaders say the existing law allowing them to charge fees to nonunion workers is fair because all workers benefit from collective bargaining. They say revoking that right would weaken unions, some of which are already struggling to maintain membership and political clout.
