Question: Who is the managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight?

Ford said it was in talks with Tencent, maker of the popular WeChat messaging app, to develop messaging functions for the manufacturer’s cars in China. David Huang, a senior engineer who heads Ford’s Asia Pacific connected-services unit, said, “People want to stay connected, stay informed and stay entertained all the time, even when they’re driving.” Drivers would sync their phone to their car’s software system and control WeChat functions, chosen by Tencent and certified by Ford as safe, through voice commands or limited use of buttons. Yale Zhang, managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight, said connectivity was a deciding factor for Chinese customers buying a car. “Those kind of things are the fundamental things people will consider,” he added. Many Chinese use WeChat’s free voice messaging feature instead of phone calls, holding up their smartphones like walkie-talkies as they speak, tap and listen to replies. Rivals including Daimler and Nissan are also looking at ways to give drivers safe, hands-free access to mobile apps in China, home to the world’s largest number of smartphone users. WeChat is China’s most prevalent chatting app, with about half a billion active monthly users.

Question: Did there appear to be any challengers to McCarthy's ambitions to be speaker?

“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: What does Mr. Sacca think about the fact that upper management and boards of Silicon Valley companies are primarily white?

Asked whether the mostly male culture of Silicon Valley is likely to change, Mr. Sacca, one of Twitter’s major investors, said, “It’s changing, slowly. The numbers are really clear. Companies are almost entirely run by white guys. The boards are almost entirely white guys.” And yet, he said: “Look at the user base of Twitter. You have black users overindexed to Twitter, and yet we don’t have any representation of that audience in the upper management or the board of that company, and that’s just weird. We’re guiding things for an audience we can’t address.”

Question: What toy retailer did Mr. Boire have experience at?

“We didn’t have any money, and my mother was a voracious reader,” he said. “I remember telling a friend, when I grow up, I want to be able to afford hardcover books.” Mr. Boire, who took the helm as chief executive of Barnes & Noble in September, still seems to have a soft spot for physical books. Walking through the first floor of a Barnes & Noble store in Union Square in Manhattan recently, Mr. Boire couldn’t help himself from reflexively straightening the jagged piles of books on the display tables so that the spines lined up neatly. Now Mr. Boire, 54, the former chief executive of Sears Canada and a retail veteran who has worked at Brookstone, Best Buy and Toys “R” Us, is under pressure to reverse the fortunes of the beleaguered bookstore chain, which has been stung in recent years by the rise of Amazon, steep losses from its Nook e-reader division and a string of store closings. To that end, Mr. Boire is leading a push to rebrand Barnes & Noble as more than just a bookstore by expanding its offerings of toys, games, gadgets and other gifts and reshaping the nation’s largest bookstore chain into a “lifestyle brand.” “Everything we do around learning, personal growth and development fits our brand,” Mr. Boire said. “There’s a lot of opportunity.”

Question: What type of design is the home?

The couple told their architect that they wanted a home that would blend in with its setting yet also incorporate key elements of modern design, such as underfloor heating throughout. “It also needed to have six bedrooms and a central Poggenpohl kitchen,” Mr. Hague said. “I wanted to be able to walk straight into the house at the first-floor level and not to be greeted by the sight of a staircase. Instead, I wanted to be greeted by the flames from a double-sided fireplace, which had been lined up exactly with the front door.”

Question: What was the title of an antifracking movie (documentary)?

There was recently a vogue for polemical antifracking documentaries like “Gasland” that purport to show that fracking is causing flammable tap water and other horrors. But a recent Environmental Protection Agency study found that there was no evidence that fracking was causing widespread harm to the nation’s water supply. On the contrary, there’s some evidence that fracking is a net environmental plus. That’s because cheap natural gas from fracking displaces coal. A study by the Breakthrough Institute found coal-powered electricity declined to 37 percent from 50 percent of the generation mix between 2007 and 2012. Because natural gas has just half as much global-warming potential as coal, energy-related carbon emissions have declined more in the U.S. than in any other country over that time. Fracking has also been an enormous boon to the nation’s wealth and the well-being of its people. In a new report called “America’s Unconventional Energy Opportunity,” Michael E. Porter, David S. Gee and Gregory J. Pope conclude that gas and oil resources extracted through fracking have already added more than $430 billion to annual gross domestic product and supported more than 2.7 million jobs that pay, on average, twice the median U.S. salary.

Question: Jahlil Okafor was in school when he won a championship - in what year of school was he in?

Even before last season, the notion that Krzyzewski eschewed one-and-dones for upperclassmen was obviously untrue. But whatever was left of it was interred by the 2014-15 Blue Devils, who won a national title on the backs of four freshmen, three of whom — Jahlil Okafor, Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones — promptly declared for the N.B.A. draft and were selected in its first round. In the title game, they and Grayson Allen, then a freshman, scored 60 of Duke’s 68 points, including all 37 in the second half. “The ability to adapt is key in everything,” Krzyzewski said immediately after that victory. “I think I’ve adapted well.”

Question: What does yearning provide the rationale for?

There is yearning at the core of “A Cure for Suicide,” and in that yearning is the reason for carrying on when doing so feels impossible. Ball asks whether, given the chance to shed our pain and start over with the mind of a child, we would want to do so — to what extent pain informs identity, and what parts of us would remain were we to shed that pain. In the hands of a less skilled writer, these questions could be mistaken for science fiction cliché, a riff on “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” but Ball deftly explores questions with the eye of a poet and the logic of a philosopher, revealing new facets with perfect timing and acuity. At each unforeseeable turn, “A Cure for Suicide” is a story Ball ensures we understand and, because it is subtle and breathtaking, we are happy to be told.

Question: According to the article, what have many people done in regards to President Obama?

Many have written him off. The reliably dyspeptic Charles Krauthammer said the epitaph of the Obama presidency would be: “He couldn’t govern, but he sure knew how to campaign.” And yes, little of what Obama proposed in his State of the Union address will find its way out of the dead zone of Congress. Just 5 percent of his 2013 proposals became law — and that was before Republicans gained the Senate. The president’s proposals “are so out of touch you have to ask if there’s any point to the speech,” said Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Question: What type of staircase leads to the galleried landing?

A custom-made staircase to the side of the reception hall leads up to a galleried landing, which gives on to the six bedrooms and family bathroom. At 195 square feet, the master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony, taking in the vistas down toward the lake. Three smaller bedrooms open onto a second balcony overlooking the lake, while a fourth has a small balcony to the front. Baths in both the master suite and family bathroom have been set into picture bay windows to make the most of the spectacular views from their tubs. The basement was the final phase of the house to be completed. While this includes a laundry, it is largely a leisure space, comprising a cinema room, a gym and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The wall between the gym and the sitting room is partly filled with a double-sided Indian Ocean aquarium, which is illuminated and populated by an array of tropical fish. “We wanted this part of the house to be a place to come to relax after a busy day or week at work: there is a sauna, with a built-in television, and outside on the deck, a hot tub, with views down to the lake,” Mr. Hague said. Leading from the driveway is a series of substantial outbuildings, including a game room and office, a second office, a store room and a garage.

Question: Who was the last of the six person relay?

Jirkovsky and Stewart swam back toward the boat, and only Stewart got out. She would be the last of the six-person relay team to swim a shift. Each would swim for an hour before yielding to the next, and for the crossing to qualify officially, the team would have to maintain that order, and each athlete would have to spend an hour in the water when the time came. If one of them quit for any reason, the attempt would fail. Jirkovsky kept swimming, following the kayak, which followed the support boat. The current was at his back. After an hour, the team’s leader and coach, Jim McConica, 64, jumped in — the first shift change. By the time John Chung, 45, tapped him out, the Deep Enders were off to a splendid start. By 3 p.m. Monday, though, the team was fighting the current and dealing with a seven-foot swell. The battle peaked 20 miles into the swim as the team approached Santa Barbara Island that night. “The island is shaped like an airplane wing,” McConica said, “and the volume of water sweeping around that island was hugely powerful and cut our speed.”

Question: How many Ukrainian where trained during basic training courses?

Capt. Andrii Syurkalo, a Ukrainian officer, said it was commendable that the trainers were willing to use the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal as an element in a class on the Geneva Conventions. American officers described the course work as equivalent to the latter months of basic training in the United States. The courses will train 705 Ukrainian soldiers at a cost of $19 million over six months. The Ukrainian National Guard is rotating from the front what units it can spare for the training. American instructors intend to recommend top performers to serve as trainers within other Ukrainian units, and in this way spread the instruction more broadly.

Question: What are venture capitalists funding?

Venture capitalists are funding new search start-ups that treat information and the web as legacy products and that focus on actions and apps instead. And while Google, with $65 billion in the bank, can buy any start-up it likes, one company it cannot buy — Apple — is also joining the mobile search fray. On Thursday, Apple released an early, or “beta,” version of the next version of its iOS mobile software, giving iPhone and iPad users the ability to tap Apple’s own search engine for searches of music, apps and local services — allowing them to potentially bypass Google.

Question: What kind of talking device for communication was the unschool troops learned?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: What does Jean-Marie Le Pen believe immigrants will do?

The first posters highlighted hostility to migrants — “Two Million Unemployed is Two Million Immigrants Too Many!” reads one from 1978. “Immigrants weigh on the economic life of our country,” Jean-Marie Le Pen told an interviewer that year — words that could have come from his daughter. “Immigration was its central theme,” writes the historian Valérie Igounet about the National Front’s early days. “Rejection of immigration, this is what it is has been for more than 40 years,” Laurent Bouvet, a political scientist who specializes in the National Front, said in an interview. “There’s this side of them, a hierarchy of civilizations.”

Question: Who kept the papers that arrived from Croatia?

“It’s scattered, we’re still sorting through” about eight boxes of new material, said Philip Hallman, curator of the university’s Screen Arts Mavericks and Makers collection. The papers arrived last week from Croatia, where they had been kept by Ms. Kodar, Mr. Hallman said. University officials declined to disclose the purchase price of the papers. The discovery comes amid renewed interest in Welles coinciding with the 100th anniversary of his birth earlier this month. Most prominently, a group of producers are working to complete “The Other Side of the Wind,” a film shot by Welles in the 1970s. The producers unveiled an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign on May 7 to raise funds for editing, music and other postproduction costs.

Question: Who is the new commissioner?

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: Whose actions are currently under scrutiny by prosecutors before the grand jury?

The United investigation grew out of the federal inquiry into the 2013 closing of lanes at the George Washington Bridge, and Mr. Fox is the latest high-ranking figure to leave his post amid those investigations. Last month, the chief executive of United, Jeff Smisek, resigned, as did two other top United executives who also attended the September 2011 dinner. People close to the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it is continuing, told The New York Times that prosecutors had been asking witnesses before a grand jury questions about Mr. Fox.

Question: who was one of the Mr. collingsworth targets ?

Over the past decade, companies doing business in Colombia, like Chiquita Brands and Dole Food, have incurred the wrath of Terrence Collingsworth, a lawyer who has accused them of mistreating workers or conspiring to kill labor activists. But these days, Mr. Collingsworth is on the defensive. One of his targets, Drummond, a coal producer based in Birmingham, Ala., recently asked a federal judge to hold the lawyer in contempt as part of a libel suit it is pressing against him. Chiquita and Dole, pointing to the Drummond case, have also raised questions about his practices. The problems engulfing Mr. Collingsworth underscore the mounting difficulties facing a small group of plaintiffs’ lawyers who have carved out a niche suing multinational corporations on charges that they violated human rights overseas.

The problems engulfing Mr. Collingsworth underscore the mounting difficulties facing a small group of plaintiffs’ lawyers who have carved out a niche suing multinational corporations on charges that they violated human rights overseas.

Over the past decade, companies doing business in Colombia, like Chiquita Brands and <hl> Dole Food <hl> , have incurred the wrath of Terrence Collingsworth, a lawyer who has accused them of mistreating workers or conspiring to kill labor activists.

Question: When was Benjamin Button born?

8 P.M. (FX Movie Channel) THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON (2008) Brad Pitt, left, received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Benjamin Button, a man born in his 80s in 1918 New Orleans, who ages in reverse into the 21st century, in this adaptation of a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Cate Blanchett is Daisy, the dancer who loves Benjamin at whatever stage he is in. And Taraji P. Henson, who was also nominated, is the nursing home caretaker who raises him when his father abandons him. From Fitzgerald’s “odd, somewhat unpromising kernel, the director David Fincher and the screenwriter Eric Roth have cultivated a lush, romantic hothouse bloom, a film that shares only a title and a basic premise with its literary source,” A. O. Scott wrote in The New York Times.

Question: What was someone blackmailing Mr. Courser to do?

Mr. Courser, 43, of Lapeer in the Thumb region of Michigan, admitted sending an “outlandish” phony email to Republican activists and others in May claiming he had been caught with a male prostitute. The email was intended to make his affair with Ms. Gamrat, 42, appear less believable if it was exposed by an anonymous blackmailer who Mr. Courser said had demanded his resignation. On Thursday, a special House committee recommended the expulsion of both the first-year Tea Party lawmakers, who had based legislation on their Christian beliefs and had clashed with Republican leadership even before the controversy broke. But the full chamber then deadlocked for hours, as more than two dozen Democrats refused to vote.

Question: Who originally innovated bans on interracial marriage?

It’s not that simple. The debate about race was very specific to America, modernity, the South. (Bans on interracial marriage were generally a white supremacist innovation, not an inheritance from Christendom or common law.) The slave owners and segregationists had scriptural arguments, certainly. But they were also up against one of the Bible’s major meta-narratives — from the Israelites in Egypt to Saint Paul’s “neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free.” That’s not the case with sex and marriage. The only clear biblical meta-narrative is about male and female. Sex is an area of Jewish law that Jesus explicitly makes stricter. What we now call the “traditional” view of sexuality was a then-radical idea separating the early church from Roman culture, and it’s remained basic in every branch of Christianity until very recently. Jettisoning it requires repudiating scripture, history and tradition in a way the end of Jim Crow did not.

Question: Who did Mr. Clinton ask to help Mr. Rodman get a job?

When Mr. Rodham was short on cash in 2010, Mr. Clinton helped get him a job for $72,000 a year raising investments in GreenTech Automotive, an electric car company then owned by Terry McAuliffe, an old friend of Mr. Clinton’s and now the governor of Virginia. “I was complaining to my brother-in-law I didn’t have any money. And he asked McAuliffe to give me a job,” Mr. Rodham said during the court proceedings, which were the result of a lawsuit over unpaid legal bills filed by his lawyer in a child support case. A brother down on his luck seeking help from more successful siblings is a familiar story, and presidents and their families have hardly been immune from that sometimes uncomfortable situation. For the Clintons, Tony Rodham has not been the only source of embarrassment.

Question: When did Visa's CEO say "Sooner is better."

Visa recently pegged Visa Europe’s value to be “in excess of $10 billion.” Assume Visa Europe’s bottom line grows this year at the same rate as last year, on Visa’s 24 times multiple, the company would be worth $6.9 billion. That figure doesn’t take into account any savings, of course, as well as any premium that Visa would have to pay to bypass the existing agreement. The ancillary benefits for Visa, however, suggest that just as Visa’ chief executive, Charles W. Scharf, said in April: “Sooner is better.”

Question: Where is North Korea do most of the defectors  who lie claim to have high-level connections in?

SEOUL, South Korea —  North Korean defectors can usually tell when other defectors are lying about their past. As a panelist on a South Korean talk show that features female defectors like me, I heard other panelists complain privately that a few of the guests must have been embellishing their stories. It’s not uncommon to hear defectors claim they graduated from a prestigious North Korean university, for example, while the rest of the details of their lives suggest this was highly unlikely. If defectors say they had high-level connections in Pyongyang or came from an esteemed institution in the North, they can gain better employment in the South, where life can be very difficult for North Koreans.

Question: What would the deal force Green to open?

If the deal is a political earthquake for Greece, it also puts the country on course for a major economic shake-up. It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make.

Question: Who questioned whether the organizers could get master developers to sign on?

One problem, he said, was the $128 million figure for insurance. “They don’t explain how they got it and whether it’s sufficient for what they’re talking about,” he said, questioning whether any carrier would provide insurance for cost overruns since they are virtually assured of happening. Mr. Pagliuca said there were willing insurers, and he would have more to say soon. Andrew Zimbalist, a sports economist at Smith College and author of “Circus Maximus: The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup,” questioned whether the organizers could get any “master developers” to sign on for the village and the stadium. He also said that a temporary Olympic Stadium might be cheaper to build but that it might not offer the luxury boxes and other amenities that would generate more revenue. “It’s just more smoke and mirrors, as far as I can tell,” he said.

Question: What types of drugs can be excluded from development by the lack of a patent?

When it comes to drugs, some of those obvious, old ideas that cannot be patented have not been clinically tested, as required for F.D.A. approval. That takes money, which nobody will invest without a patent. It’s a Catch-22 that ends up excluding potentially valuable drugs from ever even being considered for development. There’s evidence that the provision of patents only for nonobvious and novel innovations affects drug development. In a paper published in the Texas Law Review, Mr. Roin documents many examples of patent invalidation on these grounds — importantly, even for ideas that had never been developed into drugs and that still required clinical trials for F.D.A. approval. For example, the patent of an anti-inflammatory drug was invalidated because it had been disclosed in a prior academic article. A patent for a hypertension drug was invalidated because it was deemed to have been created by a well-known process.

Question: What is Ms.Simpson's birth name?

Between 1987 and 1996, Ms. Simpson (whose birth name is Leslie and who prefers female pronouns when referring to her drag persona) took some 5,000 photographs of drag performers posing in clubs, on the street and on gay-pride parade floats, unwittingly creating a time capsule of an era when drag queens were the de rigueur jesters and goddesses of the underground. The photos are alternately carefree and glamorous, with rising stars like RuPaul, Lady Bunny and Sweetie looking sultry for the camera, and Page Potter Reynolds (the transgender subject of Ms. Simpson’s 2013 photo book, “Pages”) exuding subversive charm in a clown wig.

Question: What did Mr. Kohlberg, Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts form in 1976?

Mr. Kohlberg rose through the ranks of the investment bank Bear Stearns, where he started working in 1955. But he and two younger men whom he had mentored, Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, eventually left in 1976 to form a new investment firm bearing their names. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company became a major force that set the tone for the buyout industry, particularly after it took over the tobacco and food conglomerate R.J.R. Nabisco — the deal made famous in the book “Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco,” by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar, although Mr. Kohlberg left the firm a year before the deal was completed.
