Question: Who is the confession address?

The great achievement of “The Sympathizer” is that it gives the Vietnamese a voice and demands that we pay attention. Until now, it’s been largely a one-sided conversation — or at least that’s how it seems in American popular culture. As the narrator explains, “this was the first war where the losers would write history instead of the victors,” and so it is that we’ve heard about the Vietnam War mostly from the point of view of American soldiers, American politicians and American journalists. We’ve never had a story quite like this one before. Mr. Nguyen, who teaches English and American studies at the University of Southern California, was born in Vietnam but raised in the United States. He is the author of an academic book, “Race and Resistance.” How exciting that he also writes fiction, because he has a great deal to say and a knowing, playful, deeply intelligent voice. His novel is a spy thriller, a philosophical exploration, a coming-of-age tale, the story of what it’s like to be an immigrant, to be part-Asian, to be the illegitimate child of a forbidden liaison. It’s about being forced to hide yourself under so many layers that you’re not sure who you are. The story is framed as a confession addressed to a figure called the Commandant, who, it gradually becomes clear, is keeping the captain prisoner in some unknown location. (We won’t learn where or why until the book’s shattering conclusion.) But the captain’s account is less an appeal for absolution than an attempt to explain what he did and the reasons behind it. It also allows him to be, as he says, an anthropologist of Vietnamese and American culture. The story flits around, intermingling past and present, scenes from childhood with scenes from pre-fall Saigon with scenes from contemporary America, conversations spilling together, so it’s necessary to read carefully to orient yourself. The tone is set in the very first sentence. “I am a spy, a sleeper, a spook, a man of two faces,” the narrator confesses. “I am also a man of two minds.” That’s a point Mr. Nguyen will return to over and over again — the blessing and the curse of finding subtlety where others see certainty. As children, the narrator and two other boys, Bon and Man, swore blood brotherhood and have remained fierce friends. Bon is pro-American, a veteran of the C.I.A.-sponsored Phoenix program of assassination; he leaves Saigon with the narrator on that plane. Man is a Communist and the narrator’s handler; he stays behind. Once in Los Angeles, the narrator takes a job with his former university professor and begins a sensual affair with an older Japanese-American woman. Students of Graham Greene, whose spare, precise writing contrasts with Mr. Nguyen’s exuberant, expansive and sometimes repetitious style, will recognize in her one of Mr. Nguyen’s many sly ripostes to and upendings of “The Quiet American,” the subject of the narrator’s thesis. While the love interest in that book is an annoyingly passive cipher, the narrator’s girlfriend is a free-love feminist with trenchant views on Asian stereotyping.

Question: Mr. Drobny co-founded what talk network?

Even more important, according to Mr. Rodham, was what he said was going to be Mr. Clinton’s help on his Haiti rebuilding project. That project came about when Sheldon Drobny, an old friend, contacted Mr. Rodham about making a connection for a Chicago-area contractor, who wanted to become involved in building houses in Haiti. “We were trying to help. Period,” Mr. Drobny, a co-founder of Air America Radio, the former liberal talk network, said in a phone interview. He called the effort “humanitarian.”

Question: How long has Lundqvist had is goalie coach?

During the final few drills, Benoit Allaire, the Rangers’ goalie coach, watched carefully as Lundqvist was pelted with more shots. Allaire has been Lundqvist’s coach for his entire N.H.L. career. If anyone could notice anything wrong with Lundqvist, his positioning or his technique, it would be Allaire. Near the end of practice, Lundqvist crouched and began stretching again as Allaire chatted with him. Then Lundqvist left the ice, 62 minutes after he had arrived. As he undressed at his locker, a horde of news media members huddled around him. Lundqvist is the Rangers’ star, and Wednesday’s game rests more on him than on anyone else. He was asked if he was ever nervous before games like this.

Question: What is the crew-neck made of?

Both times I visited the mall, I needed respite badly. Once, I sat on the steps in the main atrium and tried to restore steady breathing; it felt as if I had just climbed a mountain and was being choked by thin air. Another time, I left and walked a few blocks to Century 21, which with its air of rank desperation felt more apt for the neighborhood. Unlike Brookfield Place, where your happiness was heavily mediated, Century 21 required the usual pluck — maybe the gray cowhide crew-neck Valentino top ($866, on sale from $4,625) would fit, but probably not; same for the white linen-ish Lanvin peak lapel blazer ($799, on sale from $3,380).

Question: Who took a 45-city concert tour of Europe?

“Throughout my life, I happily deferred to family, companions, children,” she said. “This was mine. I didn’t have to compromise, and I say that in the best of ways.” In 1994, within the space of a few weeks, Ms. Smith lost her husband, the musician Fred Sonic Smith, to heart failure, and her brother, Todd Smith, who was also her road manager, to a stroke. Almost two decades later, Ms. Smith was still making peace with their absence. Those losses, and newer, fresher sorrows, pierce her elegiac new book, “M Train,” which in its own elliptical way is as much a love story about her late husband as “Just Kids,” her stunning 2010 memoir of youth and bohemia, was about Robert Mapplethorpe. The book, out next week, is a sort of first salvo before the 40th anniversary of “Horses,” the 68-year-old poet/rocker/visual artist/author’s historic first album. Ms. Smith, who spent her summer on a 45-city concert tour of Europe, is about to embark on an 18-city book tour, after which follows another grueling performance schedule that has her working, quite happily, into January.

Question: Who is Ms. Ross's co-star?

Tracee Ellis Ross, “black-ish” The degree of difficulty that Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ms. Metcalf and Ms. Nash face on their respective shows is vertiginous. But Ms. Ross works just as hard in her marriage of pragmatism and new-age nuttiness. Her screen time always feels shorter than her co-star Anthony Anderson’s, but she just does more with what she’s got. She’s so good that even when the writers aren’t giving her great comedy, she makes her own. D’Angelo, Apollo Theater, Feb. 7 For an hour, I sat in my seat worried that he wasn’t ready for us — for the screaming and hooting, for the orgasmic yeses. That mighty voice was tenuous. The pacing on the potent new songs felt rushed. He seemed fatigued. But during two encores, a very good show became unforgettable. D’Angelo locked in and let go. Ready for us? Ha. We weren’t ready for him. (Read the review) More highlights from the year, as chosen by our critics: Movies, Television, Pop Music, Classical Music, Classical Albums, Dance, Theater, Books and Art

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: Where was a body hidden?

A 15-year-old boy lured an 8-year-old girl into his apartment in Santa Cruz, Calif., and killed her before hiding her body in a recycling bin, the police said Tuesday. Chief Kevin Vogel of the Santa Cruz police said the girl, Madyson Middleton, went willingly into the apartment at the Tannery Arts Center, a housing complex for artists where they lived, and was probably dead before she was reported missing Sunday night, sparking a search by hundreds of volunteers. The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, knew the victim, Chief Vogel said. The boy was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Question: Where did LeBron play before returning to Cleveland?

Indeed, James’s return could not fix what ails Love or point guard Kyrie Irving, whose ragged performance produced six assists and eight turnovers. The Cavaliers lost the ball 19 times, and their defense was again missing in action for too much of the game. In choosing to leave Miami and return to Cleveland, James publicly preached patience but seemed intent on winning another title as soon as possible. It seems to be slowly dawning on him that not every player on the Cavaliers is going to take to his mentoring like a seedling to sunlight.

Question: Where did Ms. Harper and her son move to when they left California?

Ms. Jefferson said Ms. Harper had described bringing her son to the Del Amo Behavioral Health System in Torrance, Calif., near where they had lived before moving to Oregon. “He calls and says, ‘Take me out, take me out,’ ” Ms. Jefferson said, recalling her conversations with Ms. Harper. “She didn’t take him out until the doctor said he was ready to get out.” One piece of advice Ms. Harper dispensed online for a parent with an autistic infant was to start reading to the child as soon as possible and to use expressive gestures. An online posting from six years ago included the unlikely revelation that she used to read to her son a book by Donald J. Trump, the real estate mogul now running for president, who recently suggested that childhood vaccines cause autism — a claim Ms. Harper dismisses in her postings.

Question: Who is the editor at Boom!

The trend to portray true-to-life gay characters in works intended for a wider audience extends to comic books aimed at younger readers, too. Published by an imprint of Boom! Studios, Lumberjanes is a series about the summer camp experiences of five girls, two of whom have a crush on each other. “We wanted to have queer characters but not oversexualize them,” says Shannon Watters, an editor at Boom! Studios and a creator of Lumberjanes, adding that she wants to represent regular children at an age when they are figuring out who they are. “The normalization of queer young people was important,” she said. Ms. Watters said she appreciated the efforts of more mainstream publications to do the same. “It is very encouraging to see the decisions that DC and Marvel have made in giving marginalized creators more of platform to tell their stories,” she said, “but we still have a long way to go.”

Question: In what part of Lebanon is Hana Abdullah currently present?

Shooting images for the print magazine component of “The Displaced,” Addario accompanied Hana Abdullah, a 12-year-old Syrian girl now living in a refugee settlement in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, for 21 hours a day, documenting her daily life. At one point, she found herself in a plum orchard where Hana worked with other child refugees. “They had started working at 5 in the morning,” Addario told Blanchett. “And around 11 in the morning, they started falling out of the trees — literally the children were collapsing out of the trees. It was something I had never seen before.” Addario and Blanchett discussed the crisis with the Iraqi-American journalist Zainab Salbi and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees spokeswoman Melissa Fleming. “For children like … Hana, the situation has just got a hell of a lot worse and more complicated following the Beirut and Paris attacks,” Blanchett said. And yet “these people are not going to evaporate,” she said. “The problem is not going to go away overnight.” Watch the full video here:

Question: Who still says that Deutsche Bank is trying to do too much?

But Mr. Jain argued that Deutsche Bank needed to be a force on Wall Street to serve blue-chip German companies that almost always have large operations in the United States. “It is critical for us to have a strong and credible presence in the U.S. in order to claim that we are a true global competitor,” Mr. Jain said. True, he could point to a rebound in Deutsche Bank’s investment banking unit during the last quarter. The bank said that revenue generated from trading stocks, bonds and currencies was the highest in years. Revenue from investment banking rose 15 percent, to €4.7 billion. Operating profit for the unit fell by more than half, to €643 million, after subtracting a portion of the penalty paid in the rate-fixing scandal. Mr. Jain said the bank will “avoid trying to be all things to all people.” But critics would say the bank, trapped in its image of itself as Germany’s beachhead in the financial world, is still trying to do too much.

Question: Who was Australia's first female prime minister?

Mr. Rudd was ousted in an internal party coup in 2010 and replaced by Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female prime minister. As Ms. Gillard’s poll numbers fell, the party reinstalled Mr. Rudd months before the election of 2013, which Mr. Abbott’s conservative coalition won. Already a polarizing figure when he took office, Mr. Abbott saw his popularity decline amid a slowing economy as he made a series of political missteps and alienated many voters with his strongly conservative stances and often abrasive style. His combative manner contributed to his government’s inability to get major budget measures through the lower and upper houses of Parliament.

Question: Who was the curator of the university's Screen Arts Mavericks and Makers collection?

“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: The island village in "Farewell to Matyora" takes place on what river?

But Khrushchev’s agricultural and industrial policies were also a death knell for traditional village life. The fate of Mr. Rasputin’s childhood villages became fodder for one of his most famous works, the 1976 novel “Farewell to Matyora.” The novel is about an island village on the Angara River that is about to be subsumed in the 1960s by construction of the Bratsk hydroelectric plant, and the elderly residents who try to resist resettlement and cannot adapt to city life. After a vivid description of the beginning of spring in the opening chapter, Mr. Rasputin — an ardent environmentalist who fought to protect Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake — continues, “Everything was in place, but everything was wrong.”

Question: did Harris enjoy the tests?

“I played 27 more tests than I ever thought I would,” Harris said Saturday. “I relished every single moment of them.” His departure robs Australia of its one bowler who has proved effective in English conditions, as he was its leading wicket-taker in England in 2013. Harris, 35, was a subtle craftsmen among a clutch of flamethrowers, relying on control and variation. rather than sheer speed. His loss increases Australia’s likely reliance on its two fearsome left-armers, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, and it is also a reminder of one potential vulnerability of the defending champion — its age. Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper, and Chris Rogers, an opening batsman, are both 37. Middle-order batsman Adam Voges is a 35-year-old test rookie. Johnson is 33, while captain Michael Clarke is 34 and has a history of back trouble. Much will depend on Clarke’s heir apparent as captain, Steve Smith. The 26-year-old was once regarded as a “bits and pieces” player who was not quite good enough in any of his roles, but he has developed into a batting specialist who now tops the world rankings.

Harris, 35, was a subtle craftsmen among a clutch of flamethrowers, relying on control and variation. rather than sheer speed. His loss increases Australia’s likely reliance on its two fearsome left-armers, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, and it is also a reminder of one potential vulnerability of the defending champion — its age. Brad Haddin, the wicketkeeper, and Chris Rogers, an opening batsman, are both 37. Middle-order batsman Adam Voges is a 35-year-old test rookie. Johnson is 33, while captain Michael Clarke is 34 and has a history of back trouble. Much will depend on Clarke’s heir apparent as captain, Steve Smith. The 26-year-old was once regarded as a “bits and pieces” player who was not quite good enough in any of his roles, but he has developed into a batting specialist who now tops the world rankings.

Question: How are prosecutors reducing the number of cases that go to trail?

Studies of imprisonment rates have shown that violent crimes are prosecuted much more severely today than they were 30 years ago. Nationwide, prosecutors are now far more likely to charge violent criminals as felons, rather than bring a misdemeanor charge. This could account for the reason the jails remain full even as crime declines. More: ■ In 2011, Richard A. Oppel Jr. of The New York Times wrote about the effect of a shift in sentencing guidelines: “After decades of new laws to toughen sentencing for criminals, prosecutors have gained greater leverage to extract guilty pleas from defendants and reduce the number of cases that go to trial, often by using the threat of more serious charges with mandatory sentences or other harsher penalties.”

Answer: by using the threat of more serious charges with mandatory sentences or other harsher penalties.

Question: what was the cause of the depression of 70 million people?

There was no immediate reaction from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, or from his office. The ayatollah, who has the final word on the deal, has often stated that he trusts Iran’s negotiators to make decisions, but warned them not to cross “red lines.” Many in Iran have spent the past week following the news, but also expressing doubt that there would ever be a solution. The sanctions have cut deeply into the lives of ordinary people, contributing to an inflation rate that has exceeded 40 percent, slashing buying power and generally casting a blanket of depression over the nation of 70 million. As the idea of a future without sanctions started to sink in, some became emotional.

Question: How much was donated in 2013?

To the Editor: Re “Food Waste Is Becoming Serious Economic and Environmental Issue, Report Says” (news article, Feb. 26): You rightly highlight the effects of the loss of wholesome food and emissions of greenhouse gases from landfills. With 14 percent of American households not getting enough food to live active, healthy lifestyles, it is unforgivable to allow wasted food to rot in landfills. To address the 60 percent of wasted food in the United States coming from the commercial sector, the Environmental Protection Agency created the Food Recovery Challenge, which asks critical sectors, including grocers and entertainment venues, to reduce excess purchases and donate surplus food to local hunger relief organizations; more than 36,000 tons was donated in 2013. An astounding amount of wasted food also comes from individual consumers. A family of four wastes an estimated $1,600 worth of food each year. By making small changes in how you buy (like creating a shopping list to buy only what you need), prepare and store food, families can lower their grocery bills and reduce their impact on the environment.

Question: Who gets the most information about a bank's problems in China?

Of course, the tricky part for China’s government will be picking the winners and losers. As was his approach in the United States, Mr. Paulson advocates saving certain institutions, calling it “an unpleasant necessity” and suggesting that inside China, unlike the United States, there is “the political will to bail out failing financial institutions.” Also unlike the United States, it is not clear that the public will ever fully know the depths of a bank’s problems. “Transparency in China too often means the government having all the information,” Mr. Paulson told me.

Question: Who is Mark Tatum?

Mills, who was seated alongside representatives of 13 other teams, watched as Mark Tatum, the league’s deputy commissioner, opened 14 envelopes, one by one, each containing a team logo. The Knicks, who went 17-65, the second-worst record in the league, had a 19.9 percent chance of winning the lottery and a 55.8 percent chance of being among the top three. But they also had a 31.9 percent chance of dipping to No. 4. Fran Fraschilla, an analyst for ESPN, said it was not the worst place to be, given the quality at the top of the draft. “All of these players, in their own way, have skills that are going to translate well to the N.B.A.,” Fraschilla said in a telephone interview.

Question: In what month of 2014 did Clarkson make another controversial remark?

Last year, the crew fled Argentina after being attacked by local residents during the filming of an episode in which Mr. Clarkson drove a Porsche sports car with the license plate H982 FKL, which some took as a reference to the British victory over Argentina in the 1982 Falklands War. Mr. Clarkson and his team insisted — with a wink — that they had no idea what the license plate meant. But most observers saw it as a typical Clarkson ploy to seem both naughty and patriotic. In May 2014, in film not intended for broadcast, Mr. Clarkson seemed to use a racist term while reciting the “eeny, meeny, miney, moe” rhyme. He denied uttering an offensive word but acknowledged “that it sounds like I did.” He has also been accused of racist comments aimed at Indians, Mexicans and Asians.

Question: When was the reconciliation agreement signed?

But the effort to restore full electricity supplies seemed to indicate an Israeli desire to reduce tensions with the Palestinians, or at least not have them escalate further. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is running for re-election on March 17, is already under pressure because of acute tensions with the Obama administration over his plans to address a joint meeting of Congress next week about the nuclear talks with Iran. Relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority took a turn for the worse after President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party signed a reconciliation agreement last April with Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, contributing to the breakdown of troubled American-brokered Middle East peace talks.

Question: What did Mr. Carson oppose fiercely?

On the other hand, some Adventists have been disappointed in a perceived lack of tolerance regarding Islam from Mr. Carson, who said recently that he did not think a Muslim should be able to be president. His fierce opposition to the Affordable Care Act, which he has compared to slavery, has also rankled some in the community who say the law is in keeping with the religion’s focus on promoting health. “It was certainly disappointing for me,” Sam Geli, a retired Adventist chaplain who considers himself an independent, said of Mr. Carson’s remarks about Muslims. “It was very sad.”

Question: What is almost more satisfying than anything else?

Joe’s is a descriptivist moralism made evident by empty jargon, meaningless tautologies and cheerful resignation. “Let’s face it,” he likes to say, before making an assumptive declaration. “If you’re in sales” is one of his favorite introductory phrases. A refrain is the literary term for what in life we would call an “annoying verbal tic.” Repeat a line over and over in a book, and it’s an aesthetic choice that your readers will react to with an approving nod. Repeat a line over and over again in speech and whoever you’re talking to will fidget and try to get away from you. In DeWitt’s novel, the redundancy does both. Like the authors of the best science fiction, DeWitt applies logistical rigor to a riotously imaginative premise. Were the world of the book the same as the world we live in, we’d never tolerate the mundanity she provides: the bureaucratic hurdles, the financial negotiations, the material impediments to tricking out toilets with glory holes. But it’s just this kind of gratuitous information that lends the novel its necessary plausibility; it’s just this kind of boring nuance that makes up a good part of a worker’s day (or so I hear). DeWitt’s satirical prose, which is rich in italics and ridden with corporate platitudes, succeeds in the unlikely task of getting the reader both to laugh with derision and to agree, however reluctantly, with the optimism and sick logic of our protagonist. Almost nothing is more satisfying than observing improvement. Like time-lapse footage of a construction site, “Lightning Rods” is an account of progress, a record of how someone became skillful at something. That the “something” here is anonymous sex on demand as a means of increasing corporate profit is both funny and horrifying.

Question: What studio featured "First Person"?

Phil Jimenez, an artist known for his work on Wonder Woman and the Amazing Spider-Man comics, says that many readers no longer want to see the effeminate stereotype of the gay man in comics.
