Question: What size we the one-bedroom described as being?

He started the hunt last summer at open houses. There was always “that essential element that kept you from continuing,” he said. Usually it was size. He was coming from a 5,400-square-foot five-bedroom house, and every one-bedroom he saw seemed small. Places with sufficient space were going for well over $1 million. In one case, he intended to bid, but was told “there are already three offers beyond the asking price,” he said. “This does not happen in Florida.” The mother of an employee at García Media was a friend of Lisa Greenblatt, a saleswoman at Douglas Elliman, who helped him with his search.

Question: When did she flee Europe?

A friend of mine inherited a Bavarian coffee set from her maternal great-grandmother, a woman who fled Europe in the late 1930s, carrying little more than the purpose-built, velvet-lined case that still holds it. That family is scattered across the globe and the way of life the coffee set embodied has vanished, but the dainty china pot and matching cups remain flawless. Porcelain is like that. We all know that the sweep of a careless elbow can shatter it into unmendable bits. But take some basic precautions and in a hundred years it will look as good as new — its colors undimmed, its whites snowy — after you and your children are dead and gone. It is fragile, and it is strong.

Question: What is one descriptor of the overall tone of her book?

According to Hertzberg, Didion “has always been at her most original when she writes about the state she knows best,” her native California. Thomas Mallon, assessing “Where I Was From,” Didion’s 2003 book about her home state, called it “the work of someone who can still be very much herself, someone who is even now, arguably, a great American writer.” Quotable “If a woman had written it, she would have been denounced as a very anti-male person. It’s extremely feminist — to such an extreme that I think only a male writer could have gotten away with it.” — Margaret Atwood on Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly Tentative Speculation In 2003, Ken Kalfus published “Our 9/11,” a story about a husband and wife who (happily) each believe that the other perished in the attacks when neither did. Now comes “In the Shadow of the Towers,” an anthology of speculative fiction that touches directly or indirectly on the attacks. Contributors include Cory Doctorow and Jeff VanderMeer.

Question: Who created super PACs for individual candidates?

The 2016 presidential campaign has barely begun, but it is already clear this will be the super contest of the “super PACs” — the fast evolving political money machines that are irresistible to candidates because they can legally raise unlimited money from donors seeking favor and influence. The idea of a super PAC created to support an individual candidate was little more than an experiment four years ago when strategists for Mitt Romney tested its potential after misguided court decisions shattered federal limits on spending on elections. President Obama, after initially denouncing unlimited contributions, used a super PAC in his re-election. Money poured in, and this year all the major candidates, Republican and Democratic, will be counting on supposedly “independent” super PACs. They will be able to benefit from funds far greater than the amounts allowed under current regulations, which limit contributions to a candidate’s formal campaign organization to $2,700 per donor in the primary contests and $2,700 in the general election.

Question: What is the stage name of Hamada Ben-Amor?

The exhibition looks at this evolution, and then the vital role that music played in the Arab Spring. On Nov. 7, 2010, Hamada Ben-Amor, a young rapper in Tunisia known as “El Général,” released a song criticizing the government of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali. The biting rhymes of the song, “Rais Lebled” (President, Your Country), led to the rapper's arrest on Jan. 6. But despite the government’s attempt to make his music disappear, El Général’s song quickly became the anthem of the Arab Spring. Toward the end of “Hip-Hop, From the Bronx to the Arab Street,” visitors get a chance to view an exclusive sampling of art works made by international graffiti artists. The unique work of the Lebanese artist Yazan Halwani, who combines Arabic calligraphy and graffiti, finds echoes in the slogans of the Tunisian graffiti artist Meen-one. It’s another reminder of hip-hop as a cultural form and its role as a platform for artists to spread political and social messages.

Question: What was the private equity business once known as?

Yet Mr. Kohlberg and his protégés grew apart, separated by philosophies over corporate strategy and lifestyle. Where Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts were willing to pursue large-scale, hostile takeovers, Mr. Kohlberg instead chose to focus on smaller deals, always on friendly terms. By the time Mr. Kohlberg retired from the sector altogether in 1994, the leveraged-buyout business — since renamed “private equity” — was on its path to becoming immense, eventually making billionaires of Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts, as well as rivals like Stephen A. Schwarzman of the Blackstone Group and David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group. Mr. Kohlberg maintained a less ostentatious life, shunning the high-roller social soirees for tennis, reading and later yoga.

Question: What is Addyi referred to?

Question: In what year Time Rice recorded his revolutionary album?

“What that did for me, at that impressionable age, was make theater and rock ’n’ roll indistinguishable,” Mr. Lloyd Webber said. “I just thought rock was about theater, and rather old variety theater, at that.” Years later, he and Tim Rice recorded the original 1970 concept album for “Jesus Christ Superstar” — hailed, in its own time, as revolutionary and denounced as sacrilegious — at London’s Olympic Studios, next door to Led Zeppelin.

Question: What kind of race was Reims?

Q. What other differences do you see between then and now in Formula One? A. Before, I loved it that it happened on public roads. In Belgium, after the race, after the deaths, we drove around and to look for where it had happened, driving down to Malmedy and thinking about the war. I don’t know how you can make people understand the difference between a public road and a manufactured piste, manufactured corners, and escape roads in every direction and nothing to hit. Q. But Monza was always a track in a park. That hasn’t changed much. A. Yes, that never impressed me, I never liked it. I loved Belgium, I loved Germany, the setting, the fact that they were public roads. Reims was a road race, and you could imagine the Germans coming over in tanks but it was race cars going in the other direction. It wasn’t much of a circuit, it was only a triangle, very, very fast and there was a wrinkle here and there. It was part of the Champagne country and they gave Champagne for the fastest lap and things like that. It really was a French Grand Prix as opposed to another Grand Prix. Today nothing changes except the crowd.

Question: Which sections of the sites does the company plan to expand into 2016?

The shift in focus is an acknowledgment, Mr. Denton wrote, that the quality and engagement of an audience were more important than its sheer size. “In today’s crowded and confusing digital media world, you should focus on your strengths and have a clear message for your audience,” he wrote. Heading into 2016, he said, the company will seek to extend the lifestyle sections on each of its sites, promote product recommendations — a growing source of revenue for Gawker Media, which takes a percentage of sales that come through its sites — and expand its video offerings and live events. It will, like many other media organizations, be happy to reach readers wherever they are, Mr. Denton said, including “Apple News, YouTube and Facebook Instant Articles.” “The first blogs were a reaction against the idiocy and pomposity of mass media,” Mr. Denton said in an interview by Instant Messenger on Tuesday. “Now social media is dominated by the same stories that would have made the local television news. We’re in an era of mass social media. I think smarter readers are seeking refuge in subcultures.”

Question: what does Ms.Clement's production aim to do

Severo finds out that Paolina has married, and in a secret meeting with him, she refuses to be unfaithful. Aided by Callistene, whose machinations drive much of the plot, Poliuto finds them and vows revenge. But when Callistene arrests Nearco, another Christian, Poliuto puts his faith before his love, and confesses his baptism. Visiting Poliuto in prison, Paolina urges him to recant. When Poliuto remains steadfast, she converts, too, following him to an unseen death in the arena. Does Paolina really mean it? Is her baptism a response to Severo’s return, or genuinely a matter of faith? Is Poliuto a political figure or a religious one, if the two could be separated? Using a new critical edition by the scholars William Ashbrook and Roger Parker that excises all the French accretions, Ms. Clément’s production tries to tease out these gray areas. But in a relentlessly monochrome production, she deals with politics weakly, vacillating between forcing the point and not making it at all.

Answer: tease out these gray areas

Severo finds out that Paolina has married, and in a secret meeting with him, she refuses to be unfaithful. Aided by Callistene, whose machinations drive much of the plot, Poliuto finds them and vows revenge. But when Callistene arrests Nearco, another Christian, Poliuto puts his faith before his love, and confesses his baptism. Visiting Poliuto in prison, Paolina urges him to recant.

Question: Which New England player threw for a score?

Darren Sproles returned a punt 83 yards for the Eagles’ second special-teams touchdown, giving Philadelphia a 21-point lead, but New England came charging back, with Tom Brady throwing for a score and then, after an onside kick, running the ball in from the 1 to cut the gap to 7 points with three minutes left. New England’s second onside kick failed, but the Patriots forced a third-down fumble to give Brady one more chance. The rally fell short when Brady’s passes bounced out of his receivers’ hands. The Patriots are now on a regular-season losing streak for the first time since 2012. 49ERS 26, BEARS 20 Blaine Gabbert ran for a tying touchdown late in regulation and threw a 71-yard scoring pass to Torrey Smith in overtime to push San Francisco past host Chicago.

Question: Who was the gang assault on?

Answer: a young family

<hl> Prosecutors presenting evidence against two motorcyclists accused of taking part in a gang assault on a young family have put a larger phenomenon on trial: wild motorcycle tours, organized on the Internet, that occasionally rip through New York City, with riders snarling traffic, doing stunts, running red lights and generally creating a nuisance. <hl>

Question: The first report dedicated to drowning was released when?

The Global Burden of Disease study does not answer these questions directly, but it makes clear where to start looking for best practices. Individual countries can see in what areas they’re leading or lagging, often for the first time, then look to peers for advice or vice versa. Injury prevention may get one of the biggest boosts because global public health leaders have often ignored injuries as health risks, focusing instead on major diseases. Take drowning. For decades, it has been one of the 20 biggest killers worldwide, but the World Health Organization issued its first report dedicated to drowning only in November 2014. Effective prevention strategies include teaching swimming, providing life jackets, fencing off open water and training emergency medical responders. Drowning deaths also tend to decline as countries urbanize and when income and education increase. China, which both urbanized and started prevention programs, saw drowning deaths plunge from 190,000 in 1990 to 64,000 in 2013, Global Burden found. In India, drowning deaths barely budged, falling from an estimated 91,000 to 88,000 in the same period. David Meddings, an epidemiologist who was executive editor of the W.H.O. report, noted that China’s gains may partly reflect changes in the way deaths are reported, but that the improvement was still powerful.

Question: What is the purpose of Title IX?

Heinrichs was the first female coach of the women’s national team and the first female player elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. She is convinced that American determination, fitness, hustle and competitiveness must be broadened with accelerated development of technical skill if the United States is to keep pace with teams like Germany, France and Japan, the defending World Cup champion. “We think players on an elite track that aspire to be women’s national team players one day should self-select and play up earlier,” Heinrichs said. “If more players and more club coaches saw the value in having their players in the most challenging environment that she could have on a daily basis, they would see how much faster she would grow.” Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender, has been applied so effectively to sports over the past four decades that female soccer players in the United States have widespread access to their own leagues from a young age. While it is necessary for girls to have an environment in which they can feel comfortable and progress at their own rate, Heinrichs said, she sees an unintended consequence of Title IX: Fewer top-level girls seem to be honing their skills against boys today than when she and Hamm and Wambach developed into elite players. “It’s important because in Europe, they’re all playing up, and their 12- to 16-year-olds are playing against boys,” Heinrichs said. “We don’t have that anymore, for the most part.”

Question: Mr. Rodham describes his occupations as what?

On and off for two decades, the affable Mr. Rodham has tried to use his connections with his sister and his brother-in-law, former President Bill Clinton, to further a business career that has seen more failures than successes. The connections to the Clintons have given Mr. Rodham, a self-described “facilitator,” a unique appeal and a range of opportunities, like addressing Chinese investor conferences and joining an advisory board of a company seeking permission to mine for gold in Haiti. But his business dealings have often invited public scrutiny and uncomfortable questions for the Clintons as Mr. Rodham has cycled through a variety of ventures, leveraging his ties to them and sometimes directly seeking their help. When Mr. Clinton worked as a co-chairman of Haiti’s earthquake recovery commission, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought a $22 million deal to rebuild homes in the country. In court proceedings three years ago in an unrelated lawsuit, Mr. Rodham explained how “a guy in Haiti” had “donated” 10,000 acres of land to him and described how he had leaned on Mr. Clinton to get the rebuilding project funded amid bureaucratic delays. “I deal through the Clinton Foundation. That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials,” Mr. Rodham said, according to a transcript of his testimony. “I hound my brother-in-law, because it’s his fund that we’re going to get our money from. And he can’t do it until the Haitian government does it.

Question: What was the outcome of Yadav's case?

The case, which made headlines in December, incited local officials to temporarily ban the ride-hailing service in the Delhi region after details emerged that the driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, had previously been detained on suspicion of raping another female passenger in 2011. While officials said that case was ultimately closed and Mr. Yadav was acquitted, the fallout around the episode raised questions about Uber’s security screening process for drivers. An Uber spokeswoman declined to comment on the withdrawal of the case. Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer representing the plaintiff, who filed as Jane Doe, also declined to comment.

Question: Does Mayor Bloomberg consider New York a safe city?

Still, advocates have cheered the improved “hit rate” on police stops and the decline in the total number of innocent people stopped: In each of Mr. Bloomberg’s last three years in office, less than 12 percent of stops led to arrests or summonses. And as the mayor seeks to assure residents that New York remains “the safest big city in America,” citing a drop so far this year in overall crime, the number of recorded stops has also continued to fall sharply. In the first three months of this year, officers conducted 7,135 stops, about half of the total over the same period last year. Some close to the former mayor have expressed concerns.

Question: What does every computer, tablet and smartphone ship with today?

These actions are not necessarily as terrible as they seem. In 1999, Microsoft argued that bundling its web browser with its operating system was good for consumers who needed a way to easily get on the Internet. In retrospect, that looks defensible — today, every computer, tablet and smartphone ship with built-in browsers, because everyone believes they are an important aspect of the user experience of computers. Google argues, similarly, that giving people answers to shopping and travel queries on its main search results page is much more helpful than giving them a bunch of links to competing search services.

Question: Who is the coach for Minnesota?

The offensive downturn alarmed coaches nationwide, although the bat was not the only reason. Rosenblatt was built on a hill, and the prevailing wind blew out. At TD Ameritrade, the wind often blows in, knocking down well-hit balls in the alleys and straightaway center. Minnesota Coach John Anderson, who pushed for the new standard while serving on the N.C.A.A. Division I baseball committee, wished it had had more time to study its effects before the stadium opened. “We would have designed the stadium with shorter dimensions in left-center, center and right-center,” Anderson said. The power falloff was not limited to Omaha. Regular-season home runs per game last year sank to 0.39, the lowest since the N.C.A.A. began keeping records. Bold outfielders with the speed to run down balls over their heads played shallower, cutting off singles and reducing scoring further. “For a few years, the field was playing like a softball field,” said Coach Rick Vanderhook of California State Fullerton. “When you’ve got good athletes, they can cover the whole softball field. Hits were at a premium.” The seam height on the new ball, though only 0.015 of an inch less than that of the old one, is enough to cause a significant reduction in drag. The Washington State University Sport Science Laboratory, which specializes in bat and ball dynamics, found that the lower-seamed ball flew about 20 feet farther on average in 2013 testing. Performance suggests the change achieved its objective. Regular-season home runs rose to 0.58 per game, according to the N.C.A.A. Teams combined for 135 home runs in N.C.A.A. regional and super-regional play, or 0.56 per game, a jump of more than one-third over last season (84, 0.34 per game).

Question: What group did Boehner deliver his retirement announcement to?

“When it became clear that the majority leader lost his election, I didn’t frankly believe it was right for me to leave at the end of last year,” Mr. Boehner said. But if Mr. Boehner was counting on his No. 2 to replace him, he did not give Mr. McCarthy much warning, telling him about his plans to retire only two minutes before giving the news to the entire House Republican conference. “I had to tell him five times, because he didn’t believe me,” Mr. Boehner said. While there appear to be no challengers to Mr. McCarthy for the speakership at this point, there is little doubt that Tea Party conservatives will be looking for a candidate to back.

Reached for comment, a United States military official said that Afghan police officials had not formally approached the American military command to discuss expanding the Afghan Local Police forces, which the official described as “important.” But European members of the NATO coalition have expressed concern about the expansion, officials said. And Franz-Michael Mellbin, the European Union’s special representative to Afghanistan, said that even successful reform of the Afghan Local Police, or A.L.P., would not be enough to justify its expansion. “There is nobody on the European side who want to invest in anything that even remotely resembles the A.L.P.,” Mr. Mellbin said in an interview. “The fear is still there that the A.L.P. becomes the arms of local strongmen. We do not think the A.L.P. has worked — especially in the north, where they have become the extension of local interest groups.”

Question: Who did the video allege that Mr. Shin raped?

After the United Nations came out with its damning report in February 2014, Pyongyang’s propaganda officials circulated a video featuring wild accusations against Mr. Shin. It alleged he raped a 13-year-old girl and featured an interview with his father in North Korea who said they had never lived in a “so-called political prison camp.” At least one defector from Camp 18 recognized Mr. Shin’s father as a fellow inmate, pressuring Mr. Shin to admit that his story didn’t hold together, leading to the retraction.

Question: Who is the N.C.A.A.'s Chief Legal Officer?

Northwestern University, which strongly urged its players to vote down the union ahead of last year’s secret ballot election, released a statement from Alan Cubbage, a spokesman. “We believe strongly that unionization and collective bargaining are not the appropriate methods to address the concerns raised by student-athletes,” it read. “We are pleased that the N.L.R.B. has agreed with the university’s position.” Across college sports, many others praised the ruling. The commissioners of 31 of the largest conferences issued a statement calling the N.L.R.B. decision “the right call,” and Donald Remy, the N.C.A.A.’s chief legal officer, said it would allow the association “to continue to make progress for the college athlete without risking the instability to college sports that the N.L.R.B. recognized might occur under the labor petition.”

Question: What does Leive want to see when they ask someone why they want the job?

I always ask people why they want the job. There’s not one right answer, but I want to see that there is a reason. Years ago, Leonard Lauder [the former C.E.O. of the Estée Lauder Companies] told me that somebody needs to ask for the job, to say something along the lines of: “I really want this position. I think I could do something great with it, and I’d be so excited to join your team. What else can I do to convince you?” If they haven’t said that, then they haven’t gone far enough. I’m always pleased when somebody does that.

Question: Who was a former member of Dance Theater of Harlem?

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: Why are water needs different in the 21st century?

For most of the 1900s, the bureau’s system — which grew into the largest wholesale water utility in the country — worked. But the West of the 21st century is not the West of Roosevelt. There are now millions more people who want water, but there is far less of it. The science of climate change shows that in the future, there will be less still. “We have to think differently,” said Michael Connor, the deputy secretary of the Interior Department, which includes the Bureau of Reclamation. “It’s not enough just to conserve water. We need to rethink these projects. We have a lot of infrastructure, but a lot of it doesn’t work very well anymore. We need to undertake what amounts to a giant replumbing project across the West.” Mr. Connor said that in the future, the nation’s water agency would have to put climate change at the center of its mission.

Question: Who was Robert E. Lee's personal photographer?

Like an essayist collecting quotations, Mann ransacks the history of photography for her imagery. “I’m a shameless borrower,” she says. The influence of Norman Sieff, her photography teacher at Bennington and best known for his sepia-tinted album cover for the Band, can still be felt. At Hollins, she reprinted the glass plates of Michael Miley, Robert E. Lee’s main portrait photographer, and further immersed herself in the technology of the 19th century. A feeling of nostalgia as well as hidden danger has marked Mann’s work for years.

Question: Where did Obama speak at on Monday?

The French President, François Hollande, says France is “at war” against “a jihadi army.” France will be “pitiless.” There will be “no respite, no truce.” More than two years ago, after President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons, Hollande was ready to bomb Syria alongside President Obama. Then Obama wavered. Hesitation has been Obama’s modus operandi on Syria. Now there are body bags in Paris. Since 2013, ISIS has come to terrorize the world. Hollande will travel to Washington and Moscow next week in an attempt to forge a broad coalition to act “decisively” against it. If the President Obama he finds is the same Obama who spoke in Turkey on Monday, the French president will be disappointed. The contrast between Hollande’s fire and Obama’s flatness as he insisted he would not put American troops on the ground to defeat ISIS was one of the stranger aspects of being in Paris this week.

Question: How many deaths a year are caused by rail crossing accidents?

The train engineer applied the emergency brake, but the train did not come to a stop until almost 1,000 feet down the track, the car still pinned to its nose. Investigators’ findings on Thursday about track safety did little to illuminate the question of why a train-on-car collision put train passengers into such peril. Cars are struck by trains regularly across the country, according to Federal Railroad Administration records. Since 2006, there has been an average of 2,261 rail crossing accidents a year and an average of 273 deaths a year.

Question: Where has Ms. Basford become a literary celebrity?

Ms. Basford has become something of a literary celebrity in South Korea, where “Secret Garden” has sold more than 430,000 copies, she says. The craze was kicked off in part, it seems, by a Korean pop star, Kim Ki-bum, who posted a delicately colored-in floral pattern from Ms. Basford’s book on Instagram, where he has 1.8 million followers. Part of the apparent appeal is the tactile, interactive nature of the books, which offer respite to the screen-weary. “People are really excited to do something analog and creative, at a time when we’re all so overwhelmed by screens and the Internet,” she said. “And coloring is not as scary as a blank sheet of paper or canvas. It’s a great way to de-stress.”
