Question: What sport does Kyrgios play?

Answer: tennis

“These kids, they’ve got to get under control,” Harrison said. “They’re going to get hurt.” <hl> Harrison added that he believed Kokkinakis and Kyrgios were hiding behind tennis ’s genteel code of conduct. <hl> “If he wants to get into it, I will bury him,” Harrison said. “Wawrinka should’ve decked Kyrgios, and I should deck that kid.” Kokkinakis, however, distanced himself from Kyrgios, and said it was unfair to conflate the two. “I let him know — I made it pretty clear that he can’t be doing that,” Kokkinakis said of Kyrgios’s insult. “If he’s got a problem, he’s got to say it in private. The way he went about it definitely wasn’t the right thing.” The elder statesmen of the tour have been similarly indignant. “Obviously it’s the talk of the locker room, and everybody has their opinion,” Roger Federer said. “But I think that we all agree that he definitely crossed the line by a long shot. We’re not used to that kind of talk in tennis.” Federer suggested he might support further punishment for Kyrgios. “A fine is one thing; we’ll see if there’s going to be more coming,” Federer said. “I haven’t heard anything, but clearly it was very disappointing and not great for the sport, one that I think many players have tried to build up and make it a good image. We want kids to be wanting to get into this sport, I guess, because it’s a nice sport, it’s clean, it’s fair, and all these things. I don’t think there should be any room for that kind of talk.”

Question: Which city does the nonprofit Fund for Public Schools raise money for?

The executive director of the Fund for Public Schools, a nonprofit that raises money for New York City public schools, abruptly resigned this week amid concerns about her management style and turnover on the fund’s staff. The city’s Education Department said the director, Iris Chen, who was appointed by Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña less than 16 months ago, had resigned “to pursue other opportunities.” But people who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were describing confidential discussions said that City Hall, the chancellor and the fund’s board of directors had been worried about unhappiness among the fund’s staff members and the departure of several crucial employees whom Ms. Chen had hired, among other issues. The fund, which under former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg raised hundreds of millions of dollars for educational programs, has experienced declines in fund-raising under Mayor Bill de Blasio. Some education philanthropists were put off by Mr. de Blasio’s criticism of charter schools. Ms. Chen, a former executive director of Teach for America’s New York office, acknowledged  in an interview this spring that early on she had been late to some meetings with donors.

Question: What company was a victim of a price-fixing scheme?

Pointing to the same evidence, Motorola Mobility, one of the corporate victims of the price-fixing scheme, filed a follow-on civil antitrust suit, seeking damages from AU Optronics and other members of the cartel. But last November, a federal appeals court in Chicago tossed out Motorola’s civil suit, saying the company’s overseas subsidiaries could not reap the benefits of America’s antitrust laws. The Supreme Court will say this month if it will take up the issue. But already, the case has brought to light the challenges of applying decades-old antitrust laws to today’s global corporations and their often complex and far-flung supply chains.

Question: Who wrote a friend-of-the-court brief to the Supreme Court?

Warning of the business impact of legal uncertainty, the National Association of Manufacturers wrote a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to take the case. The group said it took no position on the criminal or civil cases. Instead, the trade association called for clarity. “Companies,” the brief states, “need to know where the legal lines are drawn in order to structure their transactions for goods intended for eventual import into the United States.” Richard A. Posner, a federal appeals court judge and a prominent legal theorist, wrote the opinion in the Motorola case. His opinions, law scholars note, are as much conceptual essays as legal documents — often debated, and never boring. His ruling in a smartphone patent case in 2012, for example, was a sweeping critique of the patent system, describing it as a system in “chaos.”
