Question: What type of language doesn't have a relationship with what he does?

AS AN INSPIRATION CHEUNG His tonal language doesn’t have much of a relationship with what I do, whereas his approach to time is much more influential for me. You can have stretches of his music that are just dealing with the duration of natural resonances of instruments — attacks and decays — so you have this music that feels like breathing. It’s unpredictable, but very natural.

Question: What occupation was his father?

A. We lived in a small house in the Midwest. My dad was killed in the Berlin Crisis — he was a navigator on a bomber. There was no life insurance. My mom had to raise three boys. We grew up as latchkey kids. We never felt poor, but we always worked hard. I had paper routes, and in high school I actually had a night job in a factory. What kind of factory? It was a plastics molding factory. The thing I remember most is making fly swatters. This big press would make them and then it would open and the fly swatters would pop out, and you had to reach in, grab them and get your hand out before it slammed back again to make the next ones. And where did you go to college? University of Missouri for undergraduate. When I got out of school, it was 1972, and not particularly the best economic time. I got a job selling tools to stores. As an introvert, I would never have picked being a salesman as a career. I was pretty good at it, but I didn’t like it. Then I went to the University of Kansas to get an M.B.A. And your career plan then?

Question: When type of engagement will help people be more successful?

I don’t know which one to take.” I’ll say, “Which do you want to do?” They’ll say, “I want to do this one, but the other one is the next step up.” And I’ll say: “The thing I learned is that if you’re not doing the job you want to do, it will reflect on your performance. You’re better off to take a job you’re excited about than to do the one you think somebody wants you to do.” People are successful when they’re intellectually and emotionally engaged as opposed to when they’re checking the box.

Question: Who wrote "For Kenneth Gaburo"?

Nate Wooley’s new work “For Kenneth Gaburo” is a setting of a sentence by Mr. Gaburo (1926-93), a searching composer, conductor, pianist and language theorist. But its presentation of the words is extreme, to say the least. Abstractions of text in music aren’t new. Listening to the premiere of “For Kenneth Gaburo” on Monday evening at the Wild Project in the East Village, I thought of Morton Feldman’s glacial “Three Voices” (1982), in which long passages repeat and deconstruct, to the point of wordlessness, the opening of Frank O’Hara’s poem “wind”: “Who’d have thought/that snow falls.”

Question: How much money would taxpayers need to raise for the revitalization?

Their main pitch: The overhauled plan, updated from a widely panned version first offered in January, would generate millions of dollars in new tax revenue, create tens of thousands of new jobs and produce thousands of new housing units, parks and other neighborhood amenities that would provide a lasting legacy. And with taxpayer help, to the tune of more than $700 million, the Games would spur the much-needed upgrade of the transportation infrastructure, improving local roads as well as the beleaguered subway system. Officials argued that these were costs that taxpayers would have to bear regardless of whether Boston won the Olympics. The plan went into great detail on how the Games would transform two Boston neighborhoods: Widett Circle, the home of a temporary Olympic Stadium, and Columbia Point, home to the athletes’ village.

Question: Who would front the money to purchase the necessary land?

The plan envisions enlisting private “master developers” who would front the money to buy the necessary land, move existing owners and prepare these two sites. As an incentive, the developers would receive highly generous tax breaks for new construction after the Games. Those tax breaks would be negotiated with the city, but the report suggested that the developer might pay just 15 percent of real estate taxes for the first decade. “This could be the largest economic development opportunity in our lifetime, in my lifetime, in Boston,” Steve Pagliuca, co-owner of the Boston Celtics and chairman of Boston 2024, said in presenting the plan.

Question: How much would insurance cost for the project?

One problem, he said, was the $128 million figure for insurance. “They don’t explain how they got it and whether it’s sufficient for what they’re talking about,” he said, questioning whether any carrier would provide insurance for cost overruns since they are virtually assured of happening. Mr. Pagliuca said there were willing insurers, and he would have more to say soon. Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College and author of “Circus Maximus: The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup,” questioned whether the organizers could get any “master developers” to sign on for the village and the stadium. He also said that a temporary Olympic Stadium might be cheaper to build but that it might not offer the luxury boxes and other amenities that would generate more revenue. “It’s just more smoke and mirrors, as far as I can tell,” he said.

Question: What percent did the original Boston 2024 win support of Boston residents?

Boston 2024 has been in a race against time. For its initial bid, the group had not talked with many of the landlords involved before it identified their properties as the sites of Olympic venues. It obscured financial details. It made several other missteps and was not transparent. That initial plan won the support of just 36 percent of Boston residents in March. And so Boston 2024 underwent an overhaul, including a leadership change. Governor Baker, who has remained neutral but skeptical toward the proposal, told the group to produce a new plan by the end of June. Boston 2024 officials unveiled it Monday so they could fly to California that night and meet with United States Olympic Committee officials, who are conducting a board meeting there. Monday’s plan, called Bid 2.0, was seen as Boston’s major chance to convince the U.S.O.C. to stick with Boston, which it picked over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington in January. The U.S.O.C. must enter its American competitor into the international competition by Sept. 15. If Bid 2.0 fails to generate more enthusiasm than the first iteration, the U.S.O.C. could either drop Boston and mount a last-minute alternative bid with Los Angeles or drop out of the 2024 competition altogether.

If Bid 2.0 fails to generate more enthusiasm than the first iteration, the U.S.O.C. could either drop Boston and mount a last-minute alternative bid with Los Angeles or drop out of the 2024 competition altogether.


Question: If the new bid fails to generate more enthusiasm, which city would get a last minute bid?

Answer: Los Angeles

Boston 2024 has been in a race against time. For its initial bid, the group had not talked with many of the landlords involved before it identified their properties as the sites of Olympic venues. It obscured financial details. It made several other missteps and was not transparent. That initial plan won the support of just 36 percent of Boston residents in March. And so Boston 2024 underwent an overhaul, including a leadership change. Governor Baker, who has remained neutral but skeptical toward the proposal, told the group to produce a new plan by the end of June. Boston 2024 officials unveiled it Monday so they could fly to California that night and meet with United States Olympic Committee officials, who are conducting a board meeting there. <hl> Monday’s plan, called Bid 2.0, was seen as Boston’s major chance to convince the U.S.O.C. to stick with Boston, which it picked over Los Angeles , San Francisco and Washington in January. <hl> The U.S.O.C. must enter its American competitor into the international competition by Sept. 15.

Question: What quandary is the United States looking for an answer too?

The origins of the Nazi dictatorship are to be found in the authoritarian legacy of the German Empire, the inability to cope with the defeat in World War I and the failure to achieve political compromise during the Weimar Republic. When it comes to explaining the Holocaust, Germans inquire about the place of anti-Semitism and xenophobia in their society and about the psychological and cultural factors that led ordinary citizens to participate in, or to accept, horrific atrocities. They understand their own history well enough to avoid being distracted by demagogy about gun control. If the United States is going to arrive at a workable compromise solution to its gun problem, it will not be accomplished through the use of historical analogies that are false, silly and insulting. Similarly, coming to terms with a civilizational breach of the magnitude of the Holocaust requires a serious encounter with history, rather than political sloganeering that exploits history as a prop for mobilizing one’s base.

Question: On what day did the School of American Ballet hold its Winter Ball?

The School of American Ballet held its annual Winter Ball on Monday night, and absolutely no one seemed to mind that it felt more like spring. In a cocktail area in the front of the David H. Koch Theater in Lincoln Center, guests primped and posed in floor-length gowns. Hair was sprayed to perfection, and many of the faces did not appear to move. A young crowd this was not. But perhaps the most surprising thing about the evening was that while David H. Koch and his wife, Julia, held court in one area of the lobby, Chelsea Clinton was in another. Ballet apparently makes for strange bedfellows. Mr. Koch, the conservative billionaire who oversees a well-funded political network, said he has met the Clintons before, including at a benefit last year for the Wildlife Conservation Society.
