Question: What date does "Spy" open?

“That was so beautifully cringe-y,” Ms. McCarthy said afterward. Mr. Feig cheered. It was a wrap. “Spy,” which is to open on June 5, is the biggest-budget gamble of Mr. Feig’s career, a high-stakes espionage thriller — a comic espionage thriller — that cost $65 million to make and had the cast and crew on location here for months last year. At a moment when there’s extra scrutiny of women’s roles in studio films, behind and in front of the camera, “Spy” is a rejoinder to all the testosterone-fueled fantasies that dominate the summer box office. That action stars need not be superheroes is also a testament to Ms. McCarthy’s clout; it’s her highest-budget movie, too.

Question: What about moving files that weren't from itunes?

If you want to sling between computers files that you did not purchase in iTunes — like audio tracks ripped from your own CDs — using your Dropbox folder as a transfer station can work. However, to avoid seeing exclamation marks or other errors because of original files gone missing from the first iTunes library, drag copies of the tracks out of the iTunes window to the desktop Dropbox folder, or copy over duplicates from your iTunes Media folder to Dropbox. Once you get to your second computer and open your synced Dropbox folder there, import the tracks into that system’s iTunes’s library. You can delete them out of your Dropbox folder at that point, but if you leave them there, you can play and view many types of unrestricted files on a smartphone or tablet by opening and streaming them through the Dropbox mobile app.

Question: Where does the average salary of a soccer player rank?

By pointing to freedom abroad, M.L.S. demonstrates that restraining salaries in a sports landscape where free agency is rampant will naturally lead those without it to push hard for it. Yet The Daily Mail has calculated that the average player salary in M.L.S. ranks 22nd among the world’s soccer leagues, a fraction of the average in top competitions like England’s Premier League and Germany’s Bundesliga. No wonder M.L.S. players want more. The question is: How far will they go to get it? The 1994 baseball players’ strike came at the expense of the World Series. The N.H.L. has locked out its players three times, once for a full season.

Question: Who is the founder of Morning Star, a tomato processing plant?

The public-relations push extends to the very private brothers themselves. In December, David Koch, who lives in New York, sat for an interview with Barbara Walters of ABC and described his liberal beliefs on gay rights and social issues. In April, Charles Koch, who for many years granted only the occasional interview to his hometown newspaper, The Wichita Eagle, answered questions from USA Today. In recent months, Freedom Partners, the nonprofit that oversees the Kochs’ political donor network, has also persuaded some of its donors to put their names to op-ed articles in national and local newspapers, helping shift attention away from the two brothers. Because nonprofits do not disclose their donors, it is impossible to know how much of the Koch network’s spending is underwitten by the Kochs themselves. But several hundred like-minded donors are members of Freedom Partners and more than two dozen donors have signed the op-ed articles, which take up familiar Koch causes like abolishing the Export-Import Bank or cutting the size of the federal government. “Charles Koch’s amazing. He gets death threats all the time, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there,” said Chris Rufer, a self-described libertarian and the founder of Morning Star, the world’s largest tomato processor. “They called and said, ‘Would you sign on to this?’ ”

Question: What is the name of the resort owned by Wilkins?

Mr. Wilkins, who died at 90 on Monday in Las Vegas, tried but failed to patent his tub, which meant it could proliferate with abandon. It became a fixture of hotel love nests everywhere. (He was, however, granted Patent No. D294290 in 1988 for a tub shaped like a champagne glass, which also became popular at Cove Haven.) In 1971, in a two-page photo spread complete with a smooching couple, Life magazine gushed about the bubble-brimming, red-tiled “sweetheart tub” in Cove Haven’s mirrored bathrooms. “A surfeit of affluent vulgarity,” the magazine said, apparently good-humoredly.

Question: What percentage was the 3700 estates that were expected to owe tax?

An amendment by Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, called for a lifting of the spending limits, paid for by changes to entitlement programs other than Social Security, a re-examination of other programs and the ending of some tax loopholes. It passed, 50 to 48. Senate Republicans did set some policy stakes in the ground, some of them surprising. The Senate voted, 54 to 46, to fully repeal the estate tax, even though next year, the value of estates subject to it will have to exceed $5.43 million, or nearly $11 million for a couple. Only about 3,700 estates, or 0.12 percent of the total, were expected to owe any federal estate tax last year.

Answer: 0.12

Question: What is the name of the team Gallardo previously joined before the transfer?

The active leader among pitchers is Yovani Gallardo, with 12. Gallardo, 29, was traded before the season from the Brewers to the Rangers in the American League, so his opportunities to add to that total will be limited. Bumgarner was lauded for his astonishing postseason pitching performance last year, but he has some pop in his bat, too.

Question: Who was one of the 18 new-media artists to be invited to part of the inaugural group?

“Miami is a place of excess, of vacation and gluttony, but also the art market, with lots of consumerism going on,” said Ms. Wise, who graduated from art school in Montreal in 2013. “It is a really interesting place to overhear things.” And, apparently, to get on board with a new way to sell art. Miami is also where Ms. Wise first met David Gryn, a London-based curator who, along with the British collector and philanthropist Anita Zabludowicz, co-created Daata Editions. The website, which debuted during this year’s Frieze Art Fair in New York, combines the growing online art sales scene with the mushrooming market value of new media art. Ms. Wise was one of 18 new-media artists invited to be part of the inaugural group to show on the website. The group includes Jon Rafman, Takeshi Murata, Hannah Perry, Ilit Azoulay and Stephen Vitiello. “I have learned to say no to a lot in the art world, as you sense ‘I do not trust this person,”’ said Mr. Vitiello, a Virginia-based sound and visual artist who created sound works for Daata with names like “Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand.”

Question: Who made the finals with a greater rate than James?

Counting all of the rounds, James’s rate is 37.8 so far in the playoffs. Going back to the 1970s, when the statistic becomes available, one player who made the finals had a greater rate: In 1993, when he won the third of his first triumvirate of titles, Michael Jordan rated at 38.0, according to basketball-reference.com. With Irving out for the rest of the playoffs, James’s rate may well climb past Jordan’s before the series concludes. And Jordan’s rate for the 1993 finals alone, 38.9, lags behind James’s 44.0.

Question: Is Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo a Democrat or Republican?

Mr. Faulkner, who served on a task force on police relations under Mayor Giuliani, faulted Mr. de Blasio for failing to reassure police officers that he “has their back,” and for alienating the business community. Mr. Faulkner pledged that he would get along better with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is a Democrat, than Mr. de Blasio has. The two Democratic leaders have clashed, with increasingly open hostility. “This governor has been pretty independent of his party,” Mr. Faulkner said. “I have no doubt that I will have a much better relationship, a working relationship, with this governor.” And if Mr. Faulkner were to advance to a debate with Mr. de Blasio, he would at least be able to challenge the mayor eye-to-eye: At 6-foot-4, Mr. Faulkner is, at most, only one or two inches shorter than Mr. de Blasio.

Question: The Liberal's share a governing coalition with what other party?

That will include managing the Liberals’ governing coalition with the smaller, more conservative National Party, which is unlikely to embrace attempts by Mr. Turnbull to move to the center. Mr. Gregory said he expected few policy changes from Mr. Turnbull in the short term. Indeed, in his first session of Parliament as prime minister on Tuesday, Mr. Turnbull made it clear that on at least two issues over which he has criticized Mr. Abbott in the past — climate change and same-sex marriage — his predecessor’s policies would continue.

Question: What sport had the highest percentage of players who self-reported concussions among NCAA student athletes?

Despite increased public discussion, there is a dearth of information focused on concussions in women’s hockey. The few published studies available are unsettling. An eight-year study released this year by the International Ice Hockey Federation analyzed women’s hockey injuries at the world championships and the Olympics. It found that concussions were the third-most-common injury (15.5 percent), behind contusions (28 percent) and sprains (20.8 percent). A 2014 summary of self-reported concussions among N.C.A.A. student-athletes said that women’s hockey had the largest percentage of players who had experienced at least one concussion, at 20.9 percent.

Question: What do others find nuance in?

Re “Some Are Shocked, Others Find Nuance in a Bigoted Atticus Finch” (front page, July 12): Readers shouldn’t struggle to reconcile the inconsistencies between the Atticus Finch character in the two novels in light of their publishing history. “Go Set a Watchman” and “To Kill a Mockingbird” were never written with the intention that they be viewed as part of an ongoing saga. They are two different versions of the story that Harper Lee wanted to tell. Readers should treat “Go Set a Watchman” as a historical artifact in the creative process of one of the great novels in American literature.

Question: Who was Slimane's former army compatriot?

Although astringent by mainstream movie standards, “Far From Men” is shored up with increasingly personalized conversations between Daru and Mohamed that explain the men, their lives and times. At one point, they come across a small detachment of Algerian guerrillas that includes Slimane (Djemel Barek), a former army compatriot of Daru’s, and which for a short, eventful interlude swallows the travelers up. Mr. Oelhoffen sometimes explains too much, but his work with the actors is precise and delicate. Both Mr. Kateb and Mr. Mortensen, who deliver their dialogue in Arabic and French (Mr. Mortensen also speaks a little Spanish), are generous performers and they share the screen easily. They’re playing nomads from separate histories and cultures who, in their radical isolation, turn out to be right at home.

Question: Who was accused ?

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: What was Mr. Cradle's criminal status at the time of the shooting?

The circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation. The police did not immediately say whether the gun they were searching for in the apartment had been found or why they believed it was there. Mr. Cradle, who was on probation for driving while intoxicated, had several prior arrests, though some were sealed. None of the unsealed arrests were for violent offenses, the police said. Public records indicated that in 2008 he pleaded guilty to a felony drug conspiracy charge — one of 37 defendants in a long-term narcotics investigation in the Cypress Hills housing development — and served less than a year in state prison.

Question: When did the capital projects tracker debut on the website?

The department also created a capital projects “tracker” on its website so that people can check on the status of park construction. The feature, which is updated monthly, has had 56,000 visits since it made its debut in October. While the department’s options are limited when it comes to soliciting bids, Mr. Silver did say that he planned to bundle several smaller projects into one — five Brooklyn dog runs, for example. That could make the job more attractive to prospective contractors.

Question: what was the market interest rate on German two-year government bonds as of Friday?

The diverging paths of the two central banks prompted investors to put money into dollars, on the expectation that interest rates in the United States will rise and offer a better return than in Europe, where interest rates are falling. The euro fell to 1.20 against the dollar on Friday, its lowest since June 2010, while the yield, or market interest rate, on German two-year government bonds fell to a new low of minus 0.11 percent. The yield has been below zero since September; investors were willing to effectively pay the German government to keep their money safe. The larger picture is not merely that the dollar is gaining against the euro. Signs that the Fed is getting closer to raising its benchmark interest rate from zero have helped the United States currency to soar against its counterparts in Japan, Britain and in major emerging markets. Against a broad basket of currencies, the dollar has risen more than 13 percent since September to its highest level in almost six years.

Question: what song was played at the end of the run?

BOSTON —  The American men ended their slump in the Boston Marathon when Meb Keflezighi won in 2014, a cathartic victory that enabled “The Star-Spangled Banner” to play over Boylston Street one year after bombs had exploded there. This year, the United States women are hoping to end a drought that has lasted 30 years. “The marathon gods blessed Meb with that run; it was electric,” said Shalane Flanagan, a native of Marblehead, Mass., who grew up following the race as the daughter of two marathoners. Flanagan finished fourth in 2013 and seventh last year in 2 hours 22 minutes 2 seconds — the career best for an American woman on the Boston course. “Last year was extremely special, just being an American,” she said. “It’s a run I’ll never, ever forget.” The 119th edition of the Boston Marathon is scheduled to leave Hopkinton, Mass., on Monday morning, and this year’s field gives the United States two chances for its first women’s victory since Lisa Weidenbach won in 1985. Joining Flanagan is Desiree Linden, who finished second in Boston in 2011.

Question: What did the Chinese officials insist to the Thai Government?

Many Uighurs have been trying to flee China to Turkey, usually by first traveling overland through Southeast Asian countries to Malaysia. Last year, hundreds of Uighurs in separate groups, most of them women and children, were detained by Thai security forces in the jungles of southern Thailand. They told Thai officials that they were Turkish citizens, and they were later visited by diplomats from the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok. Chinese officials insisted to the Thai government that the migrants be sent back to China. The fate of those migrant Uighurs is unclear.

Question: How do criminals prefer receiving ransom payments?

In the old days, criminals liked their ransom payments in briefcases full of unmarked bills. These days, there’s a new preferred method for hostage takers: the virtual currency Bitcoin. In a modern day version of a mob shakedown, hackers around the world have seized files on millions of computers, taken down public websites and even, in a few cases, threatened physical harm. The victims — who have ranged from ordinary computer users to financial firms and police departments — are told that their only way out is through a Bitcoin payment that is sometimes more than $20,000.

Question: How old was Mr. Sweat?

Mr. Sweat, 35, has revealed those details and more to investigators reviewing his stunning June 6 escape with another inmate from the maximum-security prison in Dannemora, N.Y., according to several people briefed on his account. He has gone into the planning and execution of his bid for freedom in extraordinarily specific terms, portraying himself as the driving force. It is a story of patience, timing, determination and physical strength — born perhaps of a life of incarceration — along with good luck, and a MacGyver-like sense of ingenuity. For example, when Mr. Sweat was trying to cut through a concrete wall and heat from steam pipes in the underground passage became unbearable, he rigged a fan taken from his cell using electricity from the tunnel’s lights.

Question: What did drivers do because they were weary of the accident?

Instead, investigators, commuters and even people close to her were left to try to make sense of her puzzling actions. Friends and family members of the passengers who died grappled on Thursday with the question of why her car never moved off the tracks, and why the third rail tore through the first passenger car. The crossing was reopened to cars and trains on Thursday, but people remained wary. Drivers paused after they ascended the slight hill toward the crossing, taking a second look down the tracks before they passed.

Question: When did the Smilin' Jack comics run?

He always wore a leather flight jacket, had a little mustache, looked like the Smilin’ Jack character in the comics” — a macho aviator in a strip that ran from 1933 to 1973. “He was a Gary Cooper type all the way,” Mr. Seymour said. “Very spare in what he had to say. I’m not quite sure where he lived. He may have been living in San Francisco and spending time in Sausalito. He wasn’t boisterous, wasn’t a big drinker. Just be in there, sit down, nursing whatever he was drinking.”

Question: Who provides grants for cameras?

There are no definitive figures, but officials say that most police forces do not use body cameras, or use them on a very limited basis.

And the number is rising quickly as the federal government provides grants for cameras, said Lindsay Miller, a senior research associate at the group.

Question: What positions does Nagraj Kashyap hold?

The argument on the other side boils down to a simple notion: Drivers are going to do it anyway, so why not minimize the riskiest kinds of multitasking, like looking down at the phone or handling it? People use their phones too compulsively to expect them to stop, said Nagraj Kashyap, senior vice president for ventures and innovation at Qualcomm Ventures, an investing arm of the telecom giant, which recently injected $3 million into Navdy. “To completely eliminate it is a pipe dream,” Mr. Kashyap said of motorist multitasking. “The best way to handle it is to make it as safe as you can.”

Question: Funding from two big companies financed what initiative in the schools?

More than equality is at stake when Ms. Copeland — the first African-American principal female dancer in the company’s 75-year history — dances. When a company is diverse, the audience becomes more diverse, too, and for those faced with aging, dwindling audiences, that is priceless. Money is another incentive to change: The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation have financed recent diversity initiatives. The two major New York companies have realized that change starts with the schools. If it takes 10 years to make a dancer — and you can’t waste a minute — diversifying ballet must begin with children. Both Ballet Theater’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School and the School of American Ballet, the training ground for City Ballet, have initiated programs to spot and recruit young minority dancers.

Question: What were the five members accused of?

Now five of them — core members of China’s new feminist movement — sit in jail, accused of provoking social instability. One of the women, Wu Rongrong, 30, an AIDS activist, is said to be ailing after the police withheld the medication she takes for hepatitis. Another, Wang Man, 33, a gender researcher, was said to have had a mild heart attack while in custody. Lawyers for the detainees, who include Zheng Churan, 25, affectionately known as Big Rabbit, say the women have been subjected to near-constant interrogation.

Question: Who could pressure Maduro?

There are however, ways that the Assembly could pressure Mr. Maduro to shift course economically. It can remove cabinet ministers, like the finance minister, and it can vote to remove the directors of the central bank. An alternative would be for the Assembly and Mr. Maduro to find a way to work together, particularly on economic policy, perhaps even with the president appointing some opposition members to his cabinet. So far, Mr. Maduro has given no indication that he is open to that approach. He quickly accepted the opposition victory after results were released early Monday morning, but he also blamed what he called an economic war for his party’s defeat, a war that he said was being waged against his government and the country by shadowy capitalist forces.

Question: Where does Dave Nadig work?

To Mr. Faust’s point, after the fund’s approval was disclosed, shares of Eaton Vance soared 20 percent in a day as investors bet that the innovation would transform the company. Still, the asset-management industry can be slow to change, and there is no guarantee that it will rush to adopt an untried model being trumpeted by a competitor. Moreover, analysts say, exchanges like Nasdaq as well as broker dealers will have to make significant investments to accommodate the new funds. “There are a lot of operational hurdles for them to clear,” said Dave Nadig, a specialist at ETF.com, an industry research firm based in San Francisco. “That is a lot of work to do for just one product from one company.” True enough, Mr. Faust concedes.

Question: Who did Mr. Obama criticize during his speech?

Mr. Obama criticized Republicans who are pressing forward with legislation to block the accord, which is on track for a vote in September. Opposition to the agreement, he said, stems from “knee-jerk partisanship that has become all too familiar, rhetoric that renders every decision made to be a disaster, a surrender.” He said hard-liners in Iran who chant “Death to America” were “making common cause with the Republican caucus.” Lawmakers who oppose the deal said they were not persuaded, and some said they resented the president’s tone. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, said the speech had done a disservice to lawmakers in both parties who “have serious and heartfelt concerns.” “These Democrats and Republicans deserved serious answers today, not some outrageous attempt to equate their search for answers with supporting chants of ‘Death to America,’ ” Mr. McConnell said, adding that Democrats who had declared their opposition would be “especially insulted” by the president’s remarks. “This goes way over the line of civil discourse,” he said. In his speech, the president invoked the legacy of John F. Kennedy, who in 1963 appeared on the same campus to push for a nuclear test ban treaty with the Soviet Union. But in making his case, Mr. Obama was also returning to a theme that helped him rise to power. As a first-term senator, Mr. Obama gained political prominence in part because of his strong opposition to the war in Iraq. It helped him win the 2008 Democratic nomination — defeating Hillary Rodham Clinton, who backed the invasion and later became his secretary of state — and the presidency. Now, as a second-term president working to defend an ambitious diplomatic nonproliferation accord with Iran and protect his legacy, Mr. Obama is conjuring the antiwar fervor that animates his party’s liberal base.

Question: Many people are politically passionate about which upcoming political race?

Mr. Thrasher, who had the Facebook falling out with his father, created a separate list of conservative friends from his hometown to keep tabs on what “Republican friends were saying about the latest craze.” And Facebook counts its vast user base as evidence that it is much more than a political echo chamber. “Even if the majority of people that you’re friends with have opinions that are similar to you,” Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, said last year, “your network of friends and friends of friends who you’ll hear from in your news feed is going to bring you more diverse opinions than you would have from any other type of media that you would have consumed.” But as the passions about the presidential race ratchet up and more people click the “unfollow” button, the discussion on the site tends to mimic the chatter of often-derided partisan news organizations on television, where like-minded audiences follow like-minded viewpoints.

Question: Where was the NASA office located?

That convergence hasn’t happened for 32 years.

Question: Which leaders were to be satisfied through the deal?

Some analysts said that Ms. Konstantopoulou, a stickler for rules, could prevent him from using the fast-track procedures that would be necessary to get the job done in time to satisfy European leaders. Portions of the plan must be passed by Wednesday, and more a week from Wednesday. Among the elements that must be dealt with this week are increases in the value added tax, including the end of a special tax status for the Greek islands; a makeover of the pension system; and the imposition of automatic spending cuts if the government misses budget targets. Ms. Konstantopoulou issued a statement saying she had no intention of resigning, even as Mr. Tsipras’s allies talked of impeaching her.

Question: What is the name of the philanthropist who co-created Daata Editions?

“Miami is a place of excess, of vacation and gluttony, but also the art market, with lots of consumerism going on,” said Ms. Wise, who graduated from art school in Montreal in 2013. “It is a really interesting place to overhear things.” And, apparently, to get on board with a new way to sell art. Miami is also where Ms. Wise first met David Gryn, a London-based curator who, along with the British collector and philanthropist Anita Zabludowicz, co-created Daata Editions. The website, which debuted during this year’s Frieze Art Fair in New York, combines the growing online art sales scene with the mushrooming market value of new media art. Ms. Wise was one of 18 new-media artists invited to be part of the inaugural group to show on the website. The group includes Jon Rafman, Takeshi Murata, Hannah Perry, Ilit Azoulay and Stephen Vitiello. “I have learned to say no to a lot in the art world, as you sense ‘I do not trust this person,”’ said Mr. Vitiello, a Virginia-based sound and visual artist who created sound works for Daata with names like “Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand.”

Question: How long did it take to rebuild the boat?

The team rebuilt the boat in four months and rejoined the fleet last weekend in Lisbon for the final two legs of the 39,000-nautical-mile race. Nicholson’s second-place finish in Lorient, France, this week behind the all-women crew of Team SCA confirmed his high hopes for Team Vestas Wind’s return, although he said last week that two podium finishes would be bittersweet. “Everyone on our team has a lot of pride,” Nicholson said the day before the start of this week’s race from Lisbon to Lorient. “If we do show our potential, it will probably hurt even more, knowing we could have done well and had a chance to win the event.”
