Question: What did the municipal leaders name the new city organizations?

Aficionados of lowbrow aesthetics are also heading to Glòries, thanks to the arresting Encants Barcelona, the new home for the area’s historic flea market — a ramped space, open on the sides, with slender columns supporting an angular reflective metal canopy. Since the market moved here in 2013, it’s been drawing 120,000 antiques- and junk-seekers a week to early morning auctions and the stalls that open directly after the last lot has sold. Ironically, the building housing the Barcelona Design Museum — a squat, zinc-clad structure with front and rear cantilevers — hasn’t exactly been celebrated for its exterior form. Some have taken to calling it “the Stapler.” The museum, which unites collections of Catalan decorative arts, graphics, ceramics, textiles and fashion that previously had been scattered throughout the city, was originally to be the building’s sole occupant. But in an effort to make use of its vast interior spaces — and lure people to what is still considered an off-the-beaten-path area — municipal leaders also moved the city’s major design organizations here and named the whole enterprise Design Hub Barcelona, or DHUB, hoping it truly would become a hotbed of design activity. Today, while design professionals show up for events in the building, museum-goers make their way through exhibits that sprawl on four floors, displaying everything from corsets to cruets. The museum, which charges a 5-euro ($5.35) general admission fee, has already drawn about 204,000 visitors. While its holdings may never achieve the popularity of the offerings at the flea market next door, the institution is already helping attract traffic — foot traffic — to the Glòries area. “In the future Glòries will be a place not for cars, but for people,” said Isabel Roig, executive director of Barcelona Design Center, a trade group and one of DHUB’s new tenants.

Question: Mr. Wolf said the age of clients moving downtown is what?

Among the early entries was the Marquand, from HFZ Capital Group, in partnership with Vornado Realty Trust, a prewar rental-turned-condo at 11 East 68th Street, with an average sales price of $4,400 per square foot, according to a spokeswoman for the project. Closings began in 2014, and only a $46.5 million penthouse remains to be sold. That the area might be starting to resemble other parts of Manhattan does not surprise Mr. Wolf, the architect, who believes neighborhood and status are a lot less important than before. Noting that clients in their 60s are moving downtown for the energy and clients in their 40s are moving uptown for the quiet, he said, “The boundaries have just broken down.”

Question: What was the baby laying atop of?

Another video captured her leaving the store with the baby and newly purchased towels. Footage from a camera at the church showed the same woman entering with the infant, the police said. Then it showed her leaving — this time without him. It is not clear how long the baby was left alone lying atop a towel, his umbilical cord still attached. The videos were not time-stamped, the police said. But around 1 p.m., a parish maintenance worker, José Morán, returned from an hourlong lunch and heard the cries of a baby in the front of the nave.

Question: What time are the staff members and attendees counting down to?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: What can make a story go global?

With the timing of a comic, Mr. Robinson told the answer as a joke on himself: “It’s a spreadsheet.” As intended, this got a laugh from ProPublica’s journalists, who live in the numbers-heavy world of today’s investigative reporting, where databases and spreadsheets have replaced the rumbling of the presses beneath the floor. His story gives a tiny picture of what’s changed in 14 years. But writ large, it raises serious concerns. Digital tools are a boon to reporting, and digital distribution can make a story go global, but digital-era economics have devastated newspaper staffs.

Question: How many people lived on Needles along California and Arizona?

PAUL MATUSKA is the closest thing the American West has to a water cop, and his beat includes Needles, Calif., a beleaguered desert town midway between Flagstaff, Ariz., and Los Angeles. About 4,800 people live in Needles, on the western bank of the Colorado River where it cuts a swath in the mud between California and Arizona. The old railroad town is the gateway to the farmland of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation across the river. Mr. Matuska, a hydrologist, is one of about a dozen accountants for the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which controls water distribution along the lower half of the Colorado River. His job is to count the water used by cities like Needles and the farms around them — lands close to the essential Colorado — and make sure they don’t take more than their share of the river.

Question: How many tickets did the NBA distribute to marketing and broadcast partners?

For the first time since 1998, and for the fifth time in league history, the All-Star Game made a stop in New York, infusing the arena with a dose of the basketball skill, celebrity presence and general sense of occasion it has lacked for the last three months, given the struggles of the hometown Knicks. The game capped a multiborough weekend spree of brand-sponsored parties, in-store promotional appearances, charity events and various activities vaguely related to basketball, some of which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In a leisurely game that grew mildly competitive only in the final minutes, the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference, 163-158, in front of a well-dressed, sellout crowd. The N.B.A. distributed two-thirds of the tickets to its marketing and broadcast partners and affiliates, the participating players and the players’ union, as well as league alumni. The league said that around 1,800 credentials were issued to various media outlets.

Question: John Kasich believes that it is a mistake to act on an idealogical basis when doing so can cause people to lose what?

To the east, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio told a group of Montana Republicans this week that they would be crazy not to embrace the president’s program of health coverage for the poor. “I gotta tell you, turning down your money back to Montana on an ideological basis, when people can lose their lives because they get no help, doesn’t make a lot of sense to me,” he said, in remarks reported by the Great Falls Tribune. Nearly every proposal in the State of the Union address polls with majority approval, nationwide. The great issue of the early 21st century is how to elevate a stagnant middle class. When 80 people hold the same amount of wealth as 3.6 billion of the world’s poorest, that equation of inequality can catch the attention of even the most heartless.

Question: Which company made the decision to split in 2018?

Hewlett-Packard agreed on Monday to buy Aruba Networks, a maker of Wi-Fi access equipment for businesses, for about $3 billion in HP’s biggest deal in more than three years. The deal would also be the first major transaction by the technology company since it announced plans to split itself in two last year. Under the terms of the agreement, HP will pay $24.67 a share in cash. That represents a roughly 34 percent premium to Aruba’s closing price on Feb. 24, the day before Bloomberg News reported the merger discussions between the two. Buying Aruba would bolster HP’s networking business as smartphones, tablets and other connected devices continue to proliferate. Aruba, a 13-year-old networking equipment maker, specializes in wireless networking access point hardware and software, which are used by hotels, universities and shopping malls. The company reported $728.9 million in revenue in its fiscal year that ended July 31, up nearly 22 percent from the prior year. Its net loss narrowed during the same time, to $29 million.

Question: Who took financial responsibility for rebel region?

Russia has been accused of trying to create a so-called frozen conflict that it could heat up in order to destabilize Ukraine any time it draws too close to the West. Critics of the new agreement said it would help Moscow achieve that over the long run, even while Ukraine took financial responsibility for the rebel regions. “The practical, realistic expectation is a frozen conflict with no effective control by Kiev over those areas, but no formal responsibility of Russia,” said Fyodor Lukyanov, the editor of the journal Russia in Global Affairs.

Question: For what network was Stuart Scott an anchor for?

When the longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott quietly agreed to write a memoir last year, appendiceal cancer and chemotherapy were weakening him. His appearances on the network were dwindling. His life was slipping away. There was no assurance that he would survive until late May, when Blue Rider Press expected to publish his book, “Every Day I Fight.” So last fall, when Scott was in the midst of a hospitalization that lasted 75 days, a decision was made to advance the publication to early March. Perhaps Scott would live until then.

Question: What group wanted the state court to overturn the law?

Monday’s development, which set no precedent, did not affect the validity of any law aside from North Carolina’s. The health care providers who challenged the North Carolina law urged the justices to turn down the state’s appeal. “The state requires physicians to recite the state’s message even when the patient physically avoids seeing or hearing it,” their brief said. “That is farce, not informed consent, and it demonstrates beyond any doubt that the requirement is an impermissible attempt to use physicians to spread the state’s ideological message.” Abortion rights groups welcomed the Supreme Court’s action. “This misguided law would have inserted politics and bad medicine into every exam room in North Carolina,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement.

Question: Where is Josh Heupel coaching now?

Much has changed on offense for the Sooners. Coach Bob Stoops replaced the offensive coordinators Josh Heupel (now at Utah State) and Jay Norvell (now at Texas) with Lincoln Riley, who installed a spread “air raid” offense. Baker Mayfield, a walk-on transfer from Texas Tech, won the job of starting quarterback over Trevor Knight, who led the Sooners over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl two seasons ago. Mayfield could be poised for a big game. Last week, Tennessee allowed 433 yards passing. Fans in Knoxville are dying for a big victory, and Neyland Stadium is sure to be rocking. Oklahoma is the favorite on the road, but this one promises to be close. 20 Boise State at B.Y.U.

Question: Ms. Russ said that the location Ms. White lived in was the most?

There is also evidence that older children, particularly boys, often struggle in new neighborhoods. The costs of the move can outweigh the benefits of the new place. Ms. White says those issues are real enough but nothing compared with the feeling that she and her family are now safe. She was tired of stepping over the dice players on her stoop, tired of guiding her children around the fragments of broken bottles at the old housing project, which Ms. Russ, the head of the Dallas Housing Authority, called the most dangerous in the city. When she moved, she changed her cellphone number, cutting off her old friends.

Question: When had Mr. Fox planned to solve the transportation fund deficiencies by?

Mr. Fox said he had hoped to find a long-term solution for the transportation fund within a year.“I deeply regret we were unable to do so, and with a year behind me, it is time for me to return to the private sector and pursue new opportunities,” he said. A spokesman for the commissioner, Stephen Schapiro, said Mr. Fox declined to comment further. Calls to his lawyer, Robert Fettweis, were not returned on Friday night. On Thursday, Mr. Fox expressed support for a proposal to build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River, saying that New Jersey Transit, an agency for which he serves as board chairman, looked forward to working with Amtrak on the project. This year, he said the state was facing a transportation funding crisis, a characterization that Mr. Christie has disputed. Veronica Vanterpool, executive director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, an advocacy organization, said Mr. Fox had been a “strong advocate” for the state’s transportation system, but had been unable to motivate the state to act with any urgency.

Question: How many member state's are a part of the U.N.?

Croatia and Namibia are leading an effort to give the organization’s 193 member states a greater say in the selection of the secretary general as part of a yearly resolution that is being drafted. New guidelines, which are still being negotiated and will be finalized by mid-September, would allow members to formally nominate applicants and vet the finalists. Until now, the five permanent members of the Security Council — Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — have bargained behind closed doors to pick from a short list of candidates that is not formally publicized. Those who have prevailed have been palatable to those five governments, a common-denominator criterion that has the potential to doom the chances of more impressive and qualified public servants. Currently, there is not an effort underway to make the process truly democratic by allowing member states to elect the secretary general though a vote. Yet, by opening it to greater public scrutiny, the Security Council would be likely to take into account input and concerns from around the globe.

Question: These latest murders took place where?

It’s always the same story. The San Bernardino murderers were wielding assault rifles, with which they were able to fire an estimated 65-75 bullets in rapid succession. Assault weapons, which seem to be the armament of choice for mass shootings, used to be illegal under a law that expired in 2004. If the law had stayed on the books, how many victims would have survived in San Bernardino, or at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.? Given the fact that semiautomatic weapons are totally inappropriate for either hunting or home defense, some of us would love to trade them for the possibility of reduced casualties next time somebody decides to go on a rampage. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is an excellent example of the politicians who totally disagree. Last time an assault weapons ban came up, he argued that Americans should not be forced to rely on regular slowpoke rifles “in an environment where the law and order has broken down, whether it’s a hurricane, national disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, cyberattack where the power goes down and the dam’s broken and chemicals have been released into the air and law enforcement is really not able to respond and people take advantage of that lawless environment.”

Question: Who would Sandy cuddle with?

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 season is brought up?

MOSCOW —  In recent years, trade relations between Russia and the Netherlands have at times blossomed and at times wilted. This summer they went up in smoke. A week after Russia began burning and burying European food items like cheese and peaches deemed to have been imported illegally, Russian agricultural inspectors started torching flowers from the Netherlands that they said were insect ridden, in what has become known locally as the flower war. While similar to the food demolition, which brought widespread outrage as well as the production of satirical videos like the popular “Death of a Parmesan,” the politics behind the flower war are distinct.

Question: What did a particular website focus on?

Mr. Farley is firm about what it takes for a ballet dancer to succeed. “It’s about the particular person and about their particular gifts,” he said. “And the dancer’s race and their socio-economic background and their parents’ education — all of that is secondary or tertiary.” But there’s more to changing the racial makeup of ballet companies than the determination of individual dancers. And different generations see the issue differently. Theresa Ruth Howard, a teacher and former member of Dance Theater of Harlem who wrote a much-talked-about piece for the website My Body My Image focusing on the many black ballerinas that preceded Ms. Copeland, can’t help but view diversity initiatives with some skepticism.

Question: How many police officers did it took to gain forced entry into Mr. Yu's apartment?

The lawyer, Yu Wensheng, 48, was taken away in handcuffs late Thursday night after more than a dozen police officers forced their way into the family’s Beijing apartment, said his wife, Xu Yan. She said in an interview that the police had confiscated a computer and memory stick from the apartment and had said Mr. Yu would face criminal charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a nebulous, catchall accusation increasingly lodged against Chinese rights advocates. Mr. Yu’s detention comes amid a concerted assault in China on so-called rights defense lawyers, a small but audacious band of legal defenders who have been willing to take on politically sensitive cases.

Question: Who was it that Mr. Renzi nominated for the Presidency?

By nominating Mr. Mattarella as president, a largely ceremonial post, Mr. Renzi simultaneously united his own party and divided Berlusconi’s. In the process, he reinforced his authority. Although Mr. Mattarella is a center-left politician, he has kudos with the Democrats’ left wing because he resigned from a government in 1990 when it passed legislation favorable to Berlusconi’s media interests. That’s also why the media tycoon didn’t want him. Mr. Berlusconi seems to have hoped that Mr. Renzi would fail to secure Mr. Mattarella’s election if enough dissident Democrats objected in Saturday’s secret ballot. In the end, the Democrats united.

Question: Who is the foreign minister of Lithuania?

“I see no reason to delay,” said Linas Linkevicius, the foreign minister of Lithuania. He noted that a cease-fire, known as the Minsk agreement, between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatist rebels had not yet been fully carried out. “If we don’t see real progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreement, then we need to go further,” said Didier Reynders, the Belgian foreign minister. “Without that, we need to prolong the sanctions.” Federica Mogherini, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, told reporters at a news conference on Monday that the union could reach a political decision as soon as Thursday at the summit meeting here. “The general assessment today was clearly going in the direction of the rollover of sanctions,” she said.

Question: What country has extradited persons for financial crimes?

Switzerland has extradited some people wanted for financial fraud by countries like Russia, despite criticism from human rights groups concerned that they would not receive a fair trial in their homeland. At the request of the United States, Switzerland arrested Yevgeny Adamov, the former head of the Russian atomic energy ministry, in 2005. But after a long tussle between Washington and Moscow, which then also sought his extradition on embezzlement charges, Switzerland sent Mr. Adamov back to Russia to stand trial, rather than to the United States.

Question: Where is the World Economic Forum held?

Will it? Meditation is exploding in popularity. There are classes to learn meditation in all its flavors: mindfulness-based stress reduction, transcendental meditation, Zen and more. There are meditation events with power-networking opportunities built in. Drop by The Path in New York, and you can mingle with people in tech, film, fashion and the arts. Pay a visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and you get to do an early morning guided meditation with global leaders. As Arianna Huffington has said, C.E.O.s are increasingly coming out of the closet — as meditators. Before we’re all swept into this fad, we ought to ask why meditation is useful. So I polled a group of meditation researchers, teachers and practitioners on why they recommend it. I liked their answers, but none of them were unique to meditation. Every benefit of the practice can be gained through other activities. This is the conclusion from an analysis of 47 trials of meditation programs, published last year in JAMA Internal Medicine: “We found no evidence that meditation programs were better than any active treatment (i.e., drugs, exercise and other behavioral therapies).”

Question: Who was Monday night's game against?

“I was like, ‘All right, we have to lose once in a while,’ ” he said by phone while on his way to Monday night’s game against Miami. “Then Lagares hit the double and Granderson walked, and you just knew it; you just knew it,” he added, referring to Juan Lagares and Curtis Granderson, who started the Mets’ ninth-inning rally. Breuer said that when Daniel Murphy came to the plate, “I said, ‘He’s going to belt a homer,’ and when he did, I laughed — I just couldn’t stop giggling.” The Yankees are an older, less flashy team that lost much of its charisma with the retirements of Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter in 2013 and 2014. The former ace C. C. Sabathia is struggling with a bad knee and the wear and tear of pitching nearly 3,000 innings in his career, and the Yankees’ current top pitcher, Masahiro Tanaka, is soldiering on with a slightly torn elbow ligament. Their biggest star is probably Alex Rodriguez, whose unlikely comeback after a season-long suspension has helped keep the Yankees in the pennant race. Although it seems that fans have grudgingly accepted him because he is producing well and not causing trouble, he is not a Jeter-like presence who draws fans to the stadium in droves.

Question: Who believes somebody will get killed due to hockey's concussion issues?

The N.C.A.A. advocates uniform concussion policies for all members, but some players said concussion information was often relayed in broad strokes and only in preseason training sessions that lasted under an hour. Digit Murphy coached women’s hockey for almost 30 years. She said that with a growing platform, players had the ability to force change and initiate more dialogue with the sport’s governing bodies. “I really believe someone is going to get killed,” Murphy said. “The sport has gone through so many iterations — N.H.L. and USA Hockey has increased awareness of it, but as you compete for higher stakes, you have this inability to care about the consequences of playing the sport because you’re so focused and intensely involved in the game.” She added, “When athletics becomes a business, anything that becomes an elephant in the room is not discussed.”

Question: How long was Michael D'Andrea head of the C.I.A.?

Perhaps no single C.I.A. officer has been more central to the effort than Michael D’Andrea, a gaunt, chain-smoking convert to Islam who was chief of operations during the birth of the agency’s detention and interrogation program and then, as head of the C.I.A. Counterterrorism Center, became an architect of the targeted killing program. Until last month, when Mr. D’Andrea was quietly shifted to another job, he presided over the growth of C.I.A. drone operations and hundreds of strikes in Pakistan and Yemen during nine years in the position.

Question: What is described as infrared?

The interior is the essence of Dutch simplicity. The main floor has a kitchen and dining room, where the couple do most of their socializing. Vast windows ensure the interior is flooded with diffuse reflected light and offer views of the IJmeer and the rest of the floating neighborhood. The top floor is divided between an indoor living room and an outdoor patio. When the doors are open in the summer, the space becomes one, evoking architecture from much warmer climates. Built to suit the couple, the basement includes two bedrooms, a master bathroom, an infrared sauna, a study and, according to Mr. Harschel, one of the most important rooms in the house: a two-and-a-half-square-meter woodworking and repair shop.

Question: Refugees from what country are having problems with accessing food?

Cuts in food aid are leading Syrian refugees to take desperate measures (“Child Labor Rises Sharply in Syria Unrest,” news article, July 2). This is a terrible situation for Syrian children to be forced to beg and work just to get a meal. But we can do something about it. After World War II, Gens. Douglas MacArthur and Lucius Clay set up school feeding for millions of children in Japan and Germany, respectively. These meals saved a whole generation of children. The school feeding gives children nutrition, but it also gets them in school and learning. It gets them away from child labor. The United Nations World Food Program has some limited school feeding for Syrian refugee children, but it needs a big expansion in funding and support.

Question: How did Jewish leaders react to the Church's statements?

“It clearly states that salvation doesn’t come from the Jews’ conversion, but it’s very respectful of their own mission,” said Alberto Melloni, the director of a liberal Catholic research institution, the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies in Bologna. He called the message “a courageous and important written document of the Catholic Church.” Coming 50 years after the Vatican formally repudiated the idea of collective Jewish guilt for Jesus’ death, the document emphasized the tight and inescapable link between Christianity and Judaism. “A Christian can never be an anti-Semite, especially because of the Jewish roots of Christianity,” it stated. Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Vatican Commission, said on Thursday that the church’s dialogue with Jews was not just interreligious, but “intrareligious, or intrafamiliar.” Jewish leaders praised the document and the way that Catholic-Jewish relations had progressed.

Question: What is the amount of prisoners that the area is meant for?

The jail is overcrowded, with nearly 200 inmates in a space for 40. Untreated sewage means visitors are greeted with a foul stench. But the mood among prisoners seems to waver between blasé and leisurely. “It’s not a jail here,” said Idmark dos Santos da Silva, 36, serving time for bank robbery. “It’s a day care.” Ayrllys Mateus Silva, 24, a bus ticket seller and Mr. Silva Neto’s daughter by the wife whom he killed, said both she and her grandmother had forgiven him, and that she visited his Sapé prison.

Question: What was grilled as a slab?

We were eating dinner at Houseman, a restaurant opened by the chef Ned Baldwin on the once-quiet far-western side of SoHo, now called Hudson Square. It is a spare, welcoming room, with walls of white brick, warm lighting, smooth wooden tables the color of Bridgehampton sand — a neighborhood restaurant for those who live amid art and commerce, who travel widely, who want to eat simply and well. There was succulent roast chicken in front of us, and a confitted turkey leg accompanied by bacon and prunes and a slab of grilled bread, a shatteringly crisp fist of fried haddock, a few fingers of juicy sausage. There was a plate of roasted carrots with cottage cheese and pumpkin seeds. There were soft, perfect leeks with fried cauliflower, anchovies and bread crumbs that caught the light from the flickering votive candles on the table. This all made for superb eating.

Question: What is the name of the wife of Tiziano Terzani

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: Who hosted the KPFA radio show where Mr. Shoemaker first heard Mr. Connell?

Over lunch, Mr. Shoemaker said that he first heard of Mr. Connell while listening to the KPFA radio show hosted by the poet Kenneth Rexroth. “He had his growly, gravelly voice,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “and he said, ‘I’ve just finished reading the best book by an American perhaps ever. “Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel” — whatever you do, get a copy, read it, get it, this is one of the great books ever.’ Rexroth had that kind of power.” So Mr. Shoemaker read that book, in 1962. Around the same time, he met Mr. Connell at the No Name, where Mr. Shoemaker had first gone with the Beat poet Lew Welch, whose work he had published. Mr. Welch was dating a local woman named Magda Cregg. “She had a son,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “who became known as Huey Lewis — he chose Lewis because he loved Lew Welch. Lewie always told me that he taught Huey Lewis how to sing.” “Sausalito had the Tides,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “which was a very famous bookstore at the time. It was owned by a couple of people who were friends of Evan’s, a couple of doors beyond No Name. And those guys, the owners, bought the Washington Square Bar and Grill, otherwise known as the Washbag, which was one of the famous North Beach literary bars, famous for their softball team — Herb Caen played, and Claes Oldenburg made them a bat.”

Question: It is important to keep Iron within the structure of what Treaty?

Iran is a major regional power. Keeping it fully within the structures of the Nonproliferation Treaty is an important element in building the rule of law in a region that is being torn apart by national, religious and local conflict. We very much hope that our legislative colleagues in the United States Congress, in their deliberations on these issues, will bear in mind the multilateral nature of the agreement, the value of sustaining that coalition for its successful implementation, and the views that we have expressed. We trust also that they appreciate that these views are shared by a majority of the United States’ most loyal allies, including the members of the European Union and the European members of NATO.
