Question: Who is behaving unethically according to Kenji Yoshino?

Not only is this young man entitled to conceal the truth from his father, but he doesn’t owe him a repayment later when he can afford it. Threatening not to do your duty if your son turns out to be gay — which is, after all, something over which he has absolutely no control — is awful in many ways. The fact that he would fail to discharge his obligation to pay his fair share if the son told the truth is a reason not to tell him the truth. Kenji Yoshino: Yes, I agree with both of you. The father is behaving unethically, given that his support is accompanied by the demand that the letter writer change something that is not susceptible to change. So the question is how to conduct yourself ethically when a person with power over you is not doing so.

Question: How many full time officers were on the police force?

It had the ingredients of an all-American fund-raiser. Leaders in the small Iowa town of Van Meter, needing money for a new police car, decided to sell $5 raffle tickets, with the winner to be chosen at this summer’s street dance. But the raffle prize — a chance to have a Taser stun gun used on a city official — raised eyebrows far beyond Van Meter, home to about 1,300 people and one full-time police officer. On Monday, after a bout of criticism and national attention, the town’s police chief said that corporate donors had agreed to help buy a cruiser, and that no one would be stunned with a Taser at Saturday’s street dance. “We’re much better off,” said the chief, William Daggett. “What we wind up with is the ability to do more than we could to begin with.”

Question: 40 percent of global diamond sales come from who?

Shifts in the diamond business are unlikely to be perceived by the engaged couples who drive demand in the United States, which accounts for 40 percent of global diamond sales. Retail prices are likely to remain stable or even fall a little, although slight changes in diamond quality may be made to avoid increases, analysts and industry representatives say. And buyers may have to pay more as diamond production peaks toward the end of the decade. But there already is acute pressure on the industry’s so-called midstream segment — the companies in China, India, Belgium and elsewhere that buy diamonds from mine operators, then cut and polish the gems for use in jewelry.

Question: How many gradations of diamonds are there?

The Basel Committee, a panel of central bankers and regulators from around the world that meets in the Swiss city of Basel, probably did not give much thought to the diamond industry when it was formulating new guidelines. But some diamond wholesalers may have been engaging in the kind of practices that the committee is trying to prevent, including excessive dependence on borrowed money. (Lending to the diamond industry is inherently risky in any case. There are thousands of gradations of diamonds, and it is extremely difficult to value the gems used as collateral.) Meanwhile, the diamond industry faces many other challenges. Sales in China, a large market, have slowed, in part because an anticorruption campaign has made government officials and their families wary of displays of wealth.

Question: Name a country that has diamond mines?

Estimates that diamond production will peak by the end of the decade, pushing prices higher, have their supporters and their critics. Most of the world’s diamonds come from a relative handful of mines in Africa, Canada, Russia and a few other places. Alrosa, a Russian diamond producer, has become the largest by volume, though De Beers remains the leader in dollar terms. Mr. Jens of ABN Amro said that he doubted predictions of a looming diamond shortage. New mines may be found, he said, and man-made diamonds — which are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from diamonds dug from the earth — could satisfy some market demand.

Question: Where did the Slovenian police walk the refugees into?

“We wanted to get a visa from the embassy and travel properly, by plane. But it’s not possible,” said Latifa Shaab, a 21-year-old student from the Syrian city of Homs, who had traveled through Turkey, boarded a dinghy that landed in Greece, and made her way through Macedonia, Serbia and Croatia, hoping to reach Sweden. “From all we heard on the news, this was our last chance to reach Europe, so we left in a hurry,” she said, as she got off the first bus that pulled into Sentlij border crossing between Slovenia and Austria about midday Saturday.

Question: Why did Hungary shut its border with Croatia?

“It was now or never,” he said. “So I decided to go before the window of opportunity closes.” Hungary decided to shut its border with Croatia after it said it was disappointed at the outcome of a meeting of European Union leaders to discuss the migrant crisis. That ended with the outline of an agreement for Turkey, designed to encourage more migrants to remain there, rather than traveling on to western Europe. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is expected to hold further talks on Sunday to try to reach a deal with Turkey’s leaders, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
