Question: How did the story begin?

With paintings, antiquities, historic garments, weapons, sculpture and porcelain, “Alexander, Napoleon and Josephine” tells a story that spans from 1807 to 1815, beginning with the friendship between Czar Alexander and Napoleon and ending with their estrangement. At the center of the exhibition is the notion that Josephine linked the two military rivals to create a kind of romantic and political triad, thanks to her cultivation, sophistication and diplomatic skills, which enhanced the status of both emperors.

Question: What are the performers' impressive specialty steps?

The routines are all out of shape, truncated where they should be developed further, extended way past where they should end. The performers’ impressive specialty steps — the flips, the windmills, the head spins and backspins — are sprinkled indiscriminately, losing the force they might have had. Even the dancers’ smiles are clumsy. At first I thought their bizarrely clownish grins were some comment on falsity or cultural assimilation; then I decided they were actually a misguided effort to play to the children. The show is a string of unrealized ideas. Spiritual striving is expressed not through dance but through slow-motion walking toward a video backdrop of heavenly clouds. A snatch of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” teases with a hint of nostalgic pleasure; what follows instead are performers in fright masks doing power moves in front of images of war and of the twin towers burning. Hip-hop dance can successfully address such heavy subject matter, but not like this.

Question: This year, Cekicler Marble expected to sell ten 25-ton blocks of marble but actually sold how many?

Turkey has 40 percent of the world’s commercial marble reserves and has been by far the dominant supplier to China, where domestic marble tends to be heavily cracked and often an unattractive yellow. But the value and tonnage of China’s marble imports have plunged by nearly a third just in the past year, paralleling a steep drop in housing starts there. For Cekicler Marble in Eskisehir, that has meant closing three of the company’s nine marble quarries and laying off a third of the 450 workers. The company had designed for sale to China an automated production line that costs $550,000 and helps turn 25-ton blocks of Turkish marble into slim tiles. But after expecting to sell 10 a year, the company actually sold one last year and none this year, with leads for the sale of two next year.

Question: which country he played a song entitled?

But he did have something to say, and he said it powerfully through his music. In East Berlin he played a song entitled “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue?” According to Ricky Riccardi, one of Armstrong’s biographers, the song had not been in his repertoire for a decade or more. But he played it on every stop during his Iron Curtain tour. He also played it slower than he ever had, so that it became a mournful lament. “My only sin is in my skin,” he sings. “What did I do to be so black and blue?”

Question: Players will sit, regardless of what, if they aren't team players?

Sullivan hit all the right notes during his first couple of days on the job. “We create an environment here that we inspire people to play,” he said.And if they don’t, Sullivan insists they will sit regardless of pedigree. “Those that play well will be rewarded with more play,” Sullivan said. Sullivan would prefer the Penguins get the puck to the net as often as possible. It’s a message Johnston repeated constantly, one his players appeared to tune out.

Question: Who is the person describing the home?

As for pricing the house, Ms. Goldberg said the loftlike open spaces, abundant light, pair of parking spots and capacious elevator all contribute to its appeal. “There’s nothing else like it,” she said. “Between its size and airiness, the extravagance of the renovation and the beauty of the garden seen through the two window walls, it is truly a serenely special home and art studio. It would be wonderful if another artist bought it. Of course, the garden lot could also be sold separately, but that would be tragic.”

Question: Who would have been a double historic first?

Smith made history, but she didn’t make any real dent in the election. Most people didn’t seem to take her very seriously, and it didn’t help that her signature campaign tactic was passing out muffin recipes. The Republicans, in the end, nominated Barry Goldwater. The Democrats’ first big moment came in 1972 when Shirley Chisholm ran for the presidential nomination. Chisholm, an African-American, would have been a double historic first. But her party was in no way ready to make symbolic gestures. They needed a winner! So they nominated George McGovern. HAVE you noticed a pattern here?

Question: What did the Clinton Foundation do in Haiti?

The Clinton Foundation said in its statement that aside from supporting a housing exposition in Haiti, it had not been directly involved with any housing projects. The foundation also said Mr. Rodham’s project had not been among the more than 300 submitted for consideration at the expo. Mr. Rodham projected that he could make $1 million on the Haiti deal if it came to pass — enough money, he said in his court testimony, to take his family to Disney World and cover his debts, including his legal bills and his long overdue federal taxes. Mr. Rodham eventually settled his bill with his former lawyer, Gwendolyn Jo M. Carlberg. Ms. Carlberg said in a phone interview that, despite her lawsuit, she did not have a negative view of Mr. Rodham. “I found a lot of good in Tony,” she said.

Question: Who is Francis not likely to publicly rebuke?

He added, “I think that our church in Cuba is still looking too much into itself.” But Francis has unique advantages in Cuba, given that he is a native Spanish speaker bearing a popular message of social justice and the pitfalls of capitalism. Cuban officials have already signaled their approval. During his last trip to the Vatican, Raúl Castro joked that Francis might even convince him to return to church. Few expect that a Cuban government still so firmly in power is going to roll over, no matter how popular the pope may be. And those government critics, especially in Miami, who want Francis to publicly rebuke Mr. Castro are likely to be disappointed. The toughest negotiations will likely happen in private. “Cuba is his hardest task,” Mr. Hare said. “He will know that he has to engineer a new path in Cuba and he has the best opportunity yet with his rhetoric, background of social activism and lack of stuffiness to open the key to the Cuban door.”

Question: What is a growing source of Gawker Media's revenue?

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: Who spoke with reporters about the Iran negotiations?

Asked on Friday about Mr. Netanyahu’s new demand, a State Department spokeswoman, Marie Harf, told reporters in Washington that the negotiations with Iran on the agreement were “only about the nuclear issue.” In the Palestinian arena, Mr. Netanyahu has demanded not only the recognition of Israel’s right to exist – something the leadership has already done — but recognition that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people. Without that recognition, the prime minister argues, any peace deal would not necessarily portend the end of the long-running conflict. Mr. Netanyahu’s statement on the Iran deal was his lengthiest and most detailed of the past week.

Question: Who did Celeb Teicher share the stage with?

And isn’t it time to give Caleb Teicher his own evening? In three excerpts from his “Variations,” interspersed throughout the night, he paired his facile, flowing style to Glenn Gould’s recordings of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations.” Sharing the stage with Brittany DeStefano and Gabe Winns, Mr. Teicher juxtaposed barely there brushes with frenetic taps as his body — twisting and dipping — pulled toward and away from the Gould. These days, a choreographer with a new angle on Bach is startling: Mr. Teicher has a will and a way.

Question: The urban bustle within the movie appears to be close to what?

“Songs From the Second Floor” (released here in 2002) remains Mr. Andersson’s comic masterpiece. It’s a pure and bizarre piece of millennial art, set amid perpetual traffic jams at some apocalyptic turning point. It loosely tracks a businessman who has burned down his own shop, but it also looks in on his insane son and others. The end of days looms — Mr. Andersson makes jokes about get-rich-quick crucifix salesmen — and over-the-top doomsday sights appear, like self-flagellating crowds, the dead rising and even a sacrificial rite. The “hyperreality,” as Mr. Andersson called it, makes for a forceful visual effect that is unforgettable. The same can be said of “You, the Living,” where the overarching conceit involves dreams being recounted for the camera and then dramatized. The filmmaker’s signature style is in effect, but occasional songs are added as in a musical. “Pigeon” takes another step away from reality with bewildering jumps between periods in Swedish history: One episode has the country’s 18th-century king riding into a modern bar to find a toilet.

Question: Which two Republicans were the ones who joined the 45 Democrats in opposition?

WASHINGTON —  The Senate approved legislation on Thursday night that would repeal President Obama’s landmark health care law, a goal of Republicans since the law was adopted in March 2010. The measure, which would also halt federal financing for Planned Parenthood, will now be sent to the House, which adopted a different version last month. The bill is ultimately expected to pass both chambers, but faces certain veto by Mr. Obama. Congress has held dozens of votes to gut the health care law, but this bill would be the first to reach the president’s desk. The Senate vote was 52 to 47. Two Republicans, Senators Mark S. Kirk of Illinois and Susan Collins of Maine, joined 45 Democrats in opposition. Senator Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, did not vote.

Congress has held dozens of votes to gut the health care law, but this bill would be the first to reach the president’s desk. The Senate vote was 52 to 47. Two Republicans, <hl> Senators Mark S. Kirk of Illinois and Susan Collins of Maine <hl>, joined 45 Democrats in opposition. Senator Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, did not vote.

Question: What invention is said to bring car-poolers together better?

Whether car-pooling will expand to other cities is unclear. “There are only a handful of cities where people live and work along densely populated corridors,” Mr. Schwieterman said. Bridj, however, said it had plans to enter Kansas City early next year in a partnership with the city. Others have doubts about an expansion as well. “Employment clusters are less geographically concentrated than they once were, so people who live near one another are less likely to be headed in the same direction,” Brian McKenzie, the author of the Census Bureau report, wrote in an email. Still, smartphones have presented a more efficient way to organize commuters based on where they live and work.

Question: What is the name of the book mentioned in the passage?

The cause was complications of prostate cancer, said his son Geoffrey. Dr. Grier and his co-author, who together ran a psychiatric clinic in San Francisco, opened the eyes of a broad audience to the psychological rather than the economic consequences of racism, drawing on case studies to illustrate their points. “Black Rage,” published by Basic Books in 1968, laid out in unsparing terms the psychic tightrope that black Americans walked, their self-image, family structures and worldview distorted by the weight of white oppression.

Question: What is the height of the mural in Chimbote?

Inside the elevator bank model, a short video of Hofmann at work is worth watching. On audio, Mr. Silver presents his thinking on the mosaics. First, His studies for the mosaics led him away from easel painting and spurred larger, more ambitious works. This is visible in nine paintings (oil on paper on board) executed in preparation for a 50-foot-tall mural for a campanile in Chimbote, a port city in Peru, as part of a renewal project by the architect Josep Lluís Sert and the urban planner Paul Lester Wiener. Measuring as much as 8 by 4 feet, the studies depict tilting, implicitly Constructivist crosses in red, yellow and blue, so cheerful they seem almost blasphemous, and more open figurative-like improvisations that bring to mind David Smith’s welded sculptures.

Question: Which author is considered a naysayer?

As talented as Gibbs was, his work was perhaps not destined to last. He did not, like Lillian Ross, have the freedom regularly to choose his subject matter. He was temperamentally a naysayer. By contrast, Ross, now in her 90s (there is some disagreement about her age), still maintains a sunny disposition and an interest in the youthful and the new. It is no disrespect to Gibbs to speculate that curiosity, a studied neutrality tinged with affection and facts carefully culled so as to capture the world in a moment of time may remain relevant longer than barbed, if canny and delightful, attitude.

Question: What did Mr. Fawwaz head up in Kenya?

He had run a Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, and then helped to lead a terror cell in Nairobi, Kenya, Mr. Lewin said. Later, Mr. Fawwaz became “Bin Laden’s man in London,” pretending to live peacefully as a Saudi dissident but actually helping Al Qaeda “broadcast its message to the world,” Mr. Lewin told the jury. He said that, Mr. Fawwaz helped to publicize Bin Laden’s 1998 fatwa stating that Muslims should kill Americans anywhere in the world, and he vetted journalists who wanted to interview Bin Laden, who was living in the mountains of Afghanistan. “The defendant’s participation in Al Qaeda conspiracies to kill Americans and attack American buildings is simply overwhelming,” Mr. Lewin said. Mr. Fawwaz’s lawyer, Bobbi C. Sternheim, did not deny that her client knew Bin Laden and had often met with him, depicting them as fellow Saudi exiles seeking to end corruption in their country. “But what we emphatically dispute,” Ms. Sternheim said, “is the allegation that Khaled al-Fawwaz is a member of Al Qaeda, was in cahoots with members of Al Qaeda, to plan, to prosper and to in any way effect the heinous goals of Al Qaeda to commit violence.” She called her client an advocate of “peaceful reform.” The nearly simultaneous attacks on the embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killed 224 people. The four men convicted each received sentences of life imprisonment. In 2010, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani was convicted of one count of conspiracy after prosecutors said he had assisted in the attack in Dar es Salaam. Mr. Fawwaz’s trial is expected to last about five weeks, the judge, Lewis A. Kaplan of Federal District Court, has said. Mr. Fawwaz has pleaded not guilty to charges that include conspiracy to kill Americans, to destroy buildings and property of the United States, and to attack national defense utilities. Arrested in 1998 in Britain, Mr. Fawwaz was sent in 2012 to Manhattan to face trial after a long extradition fight. He originally had two co-defendants: one, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, 50, who had liver cancer, died this month; the other, Adel Abdul Bary, has pleaded guilty.

Question: What network aired a show about the subject in the passage?

“Black Rage” thrust Dr. Grier into the spotlight. Immediately after the book was published, KRON, the local NBC television station, followed him and Dr. Cobbs on a walk on Fillmore Street as they explained the issues discussed in the book. ABC broadcast a special on the book called “To Be Black.” The prominent black scholar Kenneth B. Clark, a professor of social psychology at City College, criticized “Black Rage” in The New York Times Book Review as simplistic, unscholarly and overly impressed with the originality of its findings. But most critics found the book readable, persuasive and sobering. The authors followed up with “The Jesus Bag” (1971), a critical analysis of the role of religion in black life. It was not nearly as successful as “Black Rage.” After serving as chairman of the department of psychiatry at Meharry Medical College in Nashville in the early 1970s, Dr. Grier started a psychiatric practice in San Diego, from which he retired in the 1990s.

Question: what will the delgations of Silver's responsiblities do?

“The speaker is not stepping down,” Mr. Whyland said. He added that Mr. Silver’s delegation of his responsibilities “will give him the flexibility he needs so that he can defend himself against these charges, and he is confident that he will be found innocent.” Mr. Silver, 70, who is from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, is accused of abusing his office to obtain $4 million in payoffs. Federal prosecutors said he disguised his windfall by portraying it as legitimate income he earned working part time, ostensibly as a personal injury lawyer. The charges against Mr. Silver threatened to throw the Capitol into turmoil because of the central role that he plays there. The speaker of the Assembly is one of Albany’s “three men in a room,” along with the governor and the State Senate majority leader, who make many of the most important decisions in state government. The new leadership arrangement will be a startling change because of Mr. Silver’s longevity: As governors and other legislators have come and gone, Mr. Silver has remained firmly in place as speaker since 1994.

Question: What is the name of the prison?

For days after the June prison break, corrections officers carried out what seemed like a campaign of retribution against dozens of Clinton inmates, particularly those on the honor block, an investigation by The New York Times found. In letters reviewed by The Times, as well as prison interviews, inmates described a strikingly similar catalog of abuses, including being beaten while handcuffed, choked and slammed against cell bars and walls. They were also subjected to harsh policies ordered by the State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision: Dozens of inmates, many of whom had won the right to live on the honor block after years of good behavior, were transferred out of Clinton to other prisons. Many were placed in solitary confinement, and stripped of privileges they had accrued over the years — even though no prisoners have yet been linked to Mr. Matt’s and Mr. Sweat’s actions.

Question: What event called the link between the sports?

Home-field advantage in the World Series has been tied to the outcome of the All-Star Game since 2003. Complain all you want, but nothing is likely to change. The new commissioner, Rob Manfred, is emphatically in favor of keeping the link between the sport’s so-called jewel events. Maybe the answer is not to eliminate the link, but for those in uniform to take the game more seriously. The managers could strategize a little more. The hitters could work deeper counts. The pitchers could avoid any semblance of sentimentality; who can forget Adam Wainwright giving the retiring Derek Jeter a good pitch to hit last summer? Even so, compared with the N.F.L., N.B.A. and N.H.L. frolics, this All-Star event most closely resembles the competition in an actual game. The scores are familiar, and while Major League Baseball cannot help using silly caps — this year’s have horizontal stripes across the front — at least the players still wear their regular uniforms for the game.

Question: What event was Mr. Watkins visiting New York for?

The judge’s ruling came after lengthy hearings, starting in February, during which Mr. Hincapie testified that a detective had beaten a confession out of him and a previously unknown witness, Mariluz Santana, came forward to swear she had not seen Mr. Hincapie on the subway platform when the murder happened. Mr. Watkins, a tourist from Utah visiting New York for the United States Open, was stabbed in the chest on Sept. 3, 1990, in a struggle with at least six young men who had tried to rob his family inside the Seventh Avenue subway station at 53rd Street. Some of the men later said they needed money to go dancing at the Roseland Ballroom. Mr. Hincapie, now 43, was arrested the next day and confessed to taking part. He was one of seven young men convicted of felony murder at two separate trials. Under state law, everyone who takes part in a mugging can be held responsible for murder if a victim dies.

Question: How many times did Boehner have to tell McCarthy that he was retiring?

“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.

Question: Who is Vanderbilt's junior shortstop?

“If you hit it well, you should get rewarded for it,” said the Vanderbilt junior shortstop Dansby Swanson, the most outstanding player at last year’s Series and the first overall pick in the major league amateur draft, by Arizona. “I think that’s what is happening this year.” Swanson led the Commodores with 15 homers after hitting only three last season. Scoring rose as well, to 5.44 runs per game in the regular season from 5.08, reversing a recent trend. Curiously, so did strikeouts by pitchers, who discovered they could throw the new ball harder and snap sharper breaking pitches. Before Iowa lost in regional play, Hawkeyes Coach Rick Heller said he had never seen as many pitchers hit 95 miles per hour on the radar gun as he did this season. “I think the biggest thing, quite frankly, is our pitchers enjoy throwing it more,” said Louisiana State Coach Paul Mainieri, whose pitching staff struck out 93 more batters than it did last year. “There are no blisters. They get a little bit more movement, maybe even a little more velocity.”

Question: What did Pyongyang's propaganda officials circulate?

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: What have officials pushed for Amtrak to become?

Amtrak was created in 1971 to bring together struggling rail lines, and officials have pushed for it to become financially self-sufficient so that it no longer needs federal subsidies. That never happened. The Northeast Corridor routes, including the high-speed Acela line, make money, but not enough to cover its upkeep and make up for losses on less popular, long-haul routes in rural parts of the country that politicians from those areas have fought to keep. While President Obama is calling for $2.45 billion for Amtrak next year — about $1 billion more than the current year’s subsidy — Republicans in the House passed a bill in June to reduce spending on Amtrak by about $250 million. On Friday, Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, a Republican from Miami and chairman of a House subcommittee on transportation, said Amtrak’s operations were vital, especially along the Northeast Corridor. He said the House measure fully funded Amtrak’s safety and operational needs, although it would trim capital grants and other funding. Mr. Diaz-Balart argued that Amtrak had a “slew of internal financial issues that no level of congressional funding can fix.”

Question: Who would receive generous tax breaks?

The plan envisions enlisting private “master developers” who would front the money to buy the necessary land, move existing owners and prepare these two sites. As an incentive, the developers would receive highly generous tax breaks for new construction after the Games. Those tax breaks would be negotiated with the city, but the report suggested that the developer might pay just 15 percent of real estate taxes for the first decade. “This could be the largest economic development opportunity in our lifetime, in my lifetime, in Boston,” Steve Pagliuca, co-owner of the Boston Celtics and chairman of Boston 2024, said in presenting the plan.

Question: Why did some choose not to fight in Kunduz?

The Kabul government’s political struggles have had a direct affect on the morale of the security forces, some officials say. Many of the army and police commanders who were in Kunduz maintain factional loyalties that at times have been at odds with the central government. In the confusion of the Taliban assault, some simply chose not to fight when the moment arrived, some officials claimed. “The security challenges cannot be seen in isolation,” said Mr. Mellbin, the European Union representative. “The political space needs to be worked more effectively. If the elite had come together on Kunduz, the situation could have been managed before it became a national security threat.”

Question: What year did "The Nun's Story" come out in?

1:30 P.M. (TCM) THE NUN’S STORY (1959) “The Nun’s Story” was nominated for eight Academy Awards. Unfortunately, it was up against one of the most celebrated films ever, “Ben-Hur,” and came out Oscar-less. But the film was a Hollywood success even without the hardware. Based on Kathryn Hulme’s novel of the same title, this drama stars Audrey Hepburn as a young Belgian who becomes a nursing nun around the time of World War II. Bosley Crowther, writing in The Times, said that the film’s screenwriter, Robert Anderson, and director, Fred Zinnemann, “have derived an equally amazing motion picture of an extraordinary dedicated life.”

Question: About how many American dollars does three and a half billion billion Euros equal?

For Deutsche Bank, the change will entail a reduction of hundreds of billions of euros in the bank’s use of borrowed funds. It also means that the bank will earn a lower return on the money it invests than in the past. The bank will aim for a 10 percent return on capital, down from a previous target of 12 percent and a far cry from the 25 percent return that Deutsche Bank sought to achieve before the financial crisis. In addition, the bank said it aimed to cut costs by 3.5 billion euros, or about $3.8 billion, a year. The cuts would seem to suggest that Deutsche Bank will have little choice but to join other European banks like UBS or Barclays in scaling back its American operations.

Question: Where is the Foreign Ministry located?

What startled France, a country where the customer is always wrong, was the revolt of the taxi rider. For the last half year, many have turned away from cabs, loving the convenience of Uber and the way the drivers would open doors and not have the meter prematurely racking up the tab. The French were stunned to learn that the fifth floor of the American Embassy, a few doors from the Élysée Palace, was a trompe l’oeil design hiding what they call the “big ears” of eavesdropping equipment pointed at François Hollande (and his actress girlfriend, Julie Gayet, who is stealthily hanging out at the Élysée). “It’s a little bit like an invited guest whom you’ve surprised looking into the bedroom through a keyhole,” huffed Laurent Joffrin in a signed editorial in Libération, concluding the only way to deal with this “stain” by a “condescending ally” against the rules of good conduct was to give asylum to “the courageous whistle-blower,” Edward Snowden. French officials, pleased with the successful collaboration of the French and the U.S. against jihadists in Africa, Libya, Mali and Syria, were more inclined to treat the wiretapping as an old story. (Though Libération denounced that as hypocritical, “a case of Tartufferie.”) I visited the Foreign Ministry at the Quai d’Orsay — bristling with emergency meetings on terrorism — to check on the status of French-American relations.
