Question: Who described Mr. Connell as a "a Gary Cooper type"?

Mr. Seymour told me that he and Mr. Connell first drank together at the Glad Hand, now closed, whose bartender founded the No Name. “He was a very good-looking guy,” Mr. Seymour, 77, said of Mr. Connell. “We called him Smiling Jack. 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: Where was Mr. Watkins visiting from?

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: What company intended to serve Kansas City at the beginning of the new year?

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: By what year is the land expected to raise 70 percent of the global apetite for food?

Moreover, biofuels are an inefficient way to convert sunlight to fuel, meaning an immense amount of land would be required to supply a significant fraction of global energy demand, Mr. Searchinger said. That land will also be needed to help meet a global appetite for food that is expected to rise 70 percent or so by 2050, he said. “We’ve only got one planet, with only so much land,” Mr. Searchinger said. “If you use land for one purpose, you can’t use it for another.” Mr. Searchinger added that he was concerned by recent policy statements from the Obama administration that he said might open the door to extensive burning of wood pellets in the United States in the name of fighting global warming, similar to what has happened in Europe.

Question: What percentage of men play videogames?

Like men, about half of all women play video games. But men are far more likely to call themselves “gamers.” That’s according to a new Pew Research Center survey that found 48 percent of women play video games, just shy of the 50 percent of men who play. The gamer identity was far less attractive to women, however, with 6 percent of them adopting the label compared with 15 percent of men. Video game experts said it was no surprise that women are shunning an association with gaming culture as the community of hard-core players has become increasingly identified with sexist attitudes among its fringe members.

Question: Which team was Colin Kaepernick a fan of when he was growing up?

Buffalo has also received solid production from guard Richie Incognito and wide receiver Percy Harvin. Those two talented players had seen their public image tarnished over the last few seasons, but they appear to have found a home with Coach Rex Ryan and are playing a big part in the team’s success. The Giants may have the more impressive trophy case, but for right now the Bills are New York’s best (and, technically, only) team. PICK: BILLS Packers (3-0) at 49ers (1-2) 4.25 p.m. Line: Packers by 9 ½ Colin Kaepernick has always enjoyed playing the Packers. He may have grown up rooting for the team, but he has shown it no mercy, beating it once in the regular season and twice in the playoffs. He has done it with his arm (412 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 2013 season opener) and with his legs (a record 181 yards rushing in a 2012 playoff win).

Question: Where did Keflexghi train for many years?

“I’m here to compete,” Keflezighi said. “Goal No. 1 is to try to win” or get a high placement. Barring that, his finishing time could be a kind of golden parachute, allowing a gentle, somewhat satisfactory landing. Seven of his nine marathons in New York have finished under the current masters record. What is his secret to staying competitive for so long? There are many theories. Keflezighi has kept the same coach, Bob Larsen, since his college days at U.C.L.A. He remains committed to the mundane routines of stretching and strength work. Training for so many years at altitude in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., much of it on soft surfaces, has perhaps prolonged Keflezighi’s career, Larsen said, forcing him to restrict the intensity of his training while still providing him the cardiovascular benefits.

Question: What meanings does the word Bright have in Russian?

“There is no doubt that he is a very bright and talented man,” the Russian leader said. “It is not our business to assess his merits; that is up to the U.S. voters. But he is an absolute leader of the presidential race.” In Russian, the word for “bright” has several meanings, including outstanding, brilliant and even gaudy. Beneath the pyrotechnics, Mr. Putin seemed most concerned with driving home the point to his domestic audience that Russia’s battered economy had bottomed out, an indication that Russia’s recession had his full attention. Peppered with dozens of questions, Mr. Putin lingered, as he did at last year’s session, on those that allowed him to reassure Russians that their living standards were not imperiled.

Question: How tall was Geoffrey Holder?

Geoffrey Holder was, for starters, a dancer. He was also a choreographer, an actor, a painter — the list goes on. With a towering height (6-foot-6) and personality to match, he made his presence known all over New York for over 50 years. He died last fall, but Mr. Holder’s legacy is alive and well as Lincoln Center Out of Doors pays tribute with free events on Saturday to commemorate what would have been his 85th birthday. A screening of the 2009 documentary “Carmen & Geoffrey,” about Mr. Holder’s prolific career and his relationship with his wife, the dancer Carmen de Lavallade, will be preceded by a discussion with the filmmakers (and husband and wife) Nick Doob and Linda Atkinson.

Question: What style of beer typically falls in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 percent alcohol?

Defining “American lager” was difficult. American brewers like nothing better than bending and twisting beer styles, so vague terms like American lager bleed into more specific forms of lager like, say, pilsner. Our solution was to include golden and amber lagers, equivalent to German styles like Helles and Dortmunder, while excluding beers labeled pilsner. We also tried, not entirely successfully, to exclude lagers that used cereal adjuncts in the industrial style. As I said, it’s hard to be precise. Almost all were 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent alcohol.

Question: What does the institution aspire to be?

Mark Lubell, the center’s executive director, said architects would soon begin remaking the space, which has more than 5,000 square feet for exhibitions on two floors, into raw, airy galleries with a continuous glass front along the Bowery. He said he believes the connection to the street — along with a cafe and screens beaming out images from the center’s programming — will telegraph the institution’s intention to become a hub for conversations about the increasingly complex way pictures circulate and function in the digital age. “It’s going to be a big challenge to think about what an exhibition will even mean in that context,” Mr. Lubell said. By New York museum standards, the turnaround time for the new space is whiplash fast, but Mr. Lubell said that he hoped the center would become known for such nimbleness. “We don’t know everything yet, which is a little discomforting for some people,” he said, “but we’re figuring it out together.”

Question: What was the title of the Nov. 4 editiorial discussed in this paragraph?

Your Nov. 4 editorial “The Bill That Would Make Roads Less Safe” unfairly represents strongly bipartisan transportation legislation that the House passed last week. Americans depend on safe transportation, and this bill makes our roads safer. Republican and Democratic bill sponsors saw the need to reform misleading truck and bus safety ratings. While these reforms are enacted, all trucker safety requirements will continue and data on violations, inspections and out-of-service rates will remain public. The graduated driver’s license pilot program would allow 19½-year-old truck drivers only when accompanied by older drivers, and it would be based on recommendations of a task force that includes safety advocates. And the bill does not “make it harder for the department to raise the minimum insurance requirements for trucks and buses.” It asks the Transportation Department to study increasing minimum insurance levels for intercity buses before devising new regulations. The bill actually includes numerous safety provisions to promote the deployment of safety technology, address highway-railway crossings, incentivize trucking companies to install the latest safety technology, enhance driver safety measures and more. BILL SHUSTER Washington

Question: How many years after the riots was the trailer created?

So who gets to tell the story of Stonewall? It’s a nuanced and powerful question, 46 years after the riots — which lasted several days — became part of a broader push for gay and transgender rights. Mr. Emmerich, known for directing big-budget fare like “Independence Day,” and Mr. Baitz, the playwright and screenwriter, continue to stand by the trailer, created by the London-based Picture Production Company, and the film. “What can I say? I put all I know as a filmmaker into this film,” said Mr. Emmerich, 59. Describing it as a coming-of-age story, he said he was proud of the film, adding: “No studio wanted to finance it. If people want to boycott a movie because of its trailer, what kind of country do we live in?” He continued: “I always say I hope this is the first of many Stonewall films. The trailer is very true to the film. It’s Danny’s story.”

Question: Who is president of the New York State Bar Association?

During the recession, the legal sector — which is not confined to lawyers — shed about 60,000 jobs, and only about 20,000 have been added back, said James G. Leipold, executive director of the National Association for Law Placement, citing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among the lawyers affected by the cuts, those with two to three years of experience were hit particularly hard, said David P. Miranda, president of the New York State Bar Association. As a result, he said, recent law school graduates have found themselves competing for work not only with classmates, but also with seasoned lawyers. The difficulty in finding jobs appears to have discouraged some people from pursuing legal careers, he added. Indeed, law school enrollment across the country dropped 30 percent over the past four years, Mr. Leipold said.

Question: Which rail tore through the first passenger car?

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: Since when has uber contested the filing of the suit?

Shannon Liss-Riordan, a lawyer representing the drivers, called the ruling “a major victory for Uber drivers.” Uber has contested the suit since its filing, asserting that the company is in the technology and logistics business, and is essentially an online marketplace that matches willing riders with available drivers. Uber has frequently also said that its drivers are able to set their own schedules and do not have to abide by the many other requirements that companies can impose on employees. In July, the company came out strongly against the class-action suit, presenting testimonials from more than 400 drivers who say they appreciate Uber’s flexibility.

Question: What is the name of Google's new streaming device?

Each Saturday, Farhad Manjoo and Mike Isaac, technology reporters at The New York Times, review the week’s news, offering analysis and maybe a joke or two about the most important developments in the tech industry. Farhad: Howdy, Mike! What’s going on with you? Sorry, I don’t have some kind of funny intro this week. I’m just pretty tired. I need a nap. Mike: I had a root canal on Friday and my dog won’t stop eating our drywall. Other than that, life is grand. Farhad: Sounds fantastic. OK, let’s go through some tech news. Apple announced it sold 13 million new iPhones in its opening weekend — which, like everything with Apple, some people thought was really awesome and others thought was meh. Google unveiled some new Nexus phones, tablets and a Chromecast streaming device. Those were fine and also unexciting — smartphones changed everything and yet, man, are they boring. Mike: I have a seriously difficult time caring about phones now. Every announcement is just “look at this cool new processor we put inside.” Yawn.

Question: Who went to Kidville?

Ms. Andino, a medical assistant, guessed that the video games might come sooner than she had planned. “Maybe later we’ll try playing Monopoly,” she said. “It eats up a lot of time.” In Midtown Manhattan, Jeremy Brisiel began the morning with no illusions. “We braved the weather yesterday,” he said, describing an outing to Kidville, a children’s gym and play station, with his daughter, Tallulah, 3. “Today, ‘Frozen’ will probably handle it,” he said, citing the sisters who are the film’s heroines. “Anna and Elsa all day.” But Tallulah and her mother, Melle Powers, an actress and teacher, had a better idea: taking an imaginary trip back to the Caribbean resort where they vacationed last week, making pretend sand castles on their small living room floor.

Question: To who does the cost seem unseemly?

Certainly to the average person, and perhaps to the people who are paying their kids’ tuition, which is already pretty eye-popping, that would seem like a high figure.”

Question: This agreement can help bring peace and stability where?

We, members of the Top Level Group of U.K. Parliamentarians for Multilateral Nuclear Disarmament and Nonproliferation, believe that the agreement reached between the six world powers and Iran is a major step toward building stability and peace in the Middle East. The agreement is comprehensive and covers the main areas of concern over Iran’s nuclear program. It includes intrusive, detailed measures for verification and inspection of Iran’s civil nuclear program, in line with the requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s additional protocol. In effect, it sharply reduces the amount of enriched uranium Iran can hold and freezes further enrichment for 10 to 15 years.

Question: What given to the tenants to create value?

A. They are easier to buy. We did start our business in the B office building, and we found ourselves in that niche and felt very, very comfortable there. B buildings are very management-intensive, because there are many, many tenants involved. But we find that we do that very well and we can create value. We like to give our tenants a high-quality office environment. We don’t want them to think that they’re in a low-quality, traditional, old-fashioned B building, where they feel like they’re giving something up. Q. Would you ever consider investing in Class A buildings?  A. Absolutely, but right now it would not be possible given the competition.

Question: Who is Athen's biggest European lender?

Antagonism has been growing between Greece and Germany, Athens’s biggest European lender. “Our battle in Greece is a battle for all Europeans,” Mr. Chondros told a cheering crowd of about 8,000. “We need a European organization against austerity, and that organization has started here today.” Employees of the central bank began moving into the new headquarters, which cost about $1.27 billion, near the end of last year. Away from downtown Frankfurt on a park-like site overlooking the Main River, the 600-foot-high tinted-glass tower is a more potent symbol of the central bank’s power than the generic gray high-rise in central Frankfurt that it previously occupied.

Question: How many minority dancers have graduated since 2008/2009?

That seemingly small step led to an increased turnout for the school’s free community auditions, which has dramatically shifted the minority presence in the children division. “It’s gone Technicolor fast,” said Silas Farley, a 21-year-old member of City Ballet whose mother is black and father is white. (He refers to himself as “a cultural gumbo.”) Peter Martins, the ballet master in chief of City Ballet as well as the artistic director and chairman of faculty at the School of American Ballet, says that substantial change may take time, but it will happen. “We are not a white company,” he said. “We don’t seek to be a black company. We don’t seek to be half and half. I just want to be American.” While it’s still too soon to tell if the children discovered through recent community auditions will make it into City Ballet, since 2008-9, the school has graduated 36 minority dancers who have gone on to join professional companies. Eleven of those joined City Ballet. India Bradley, a 17-year-old advanced student at the school said her ambition — obsession really — is to become one of them. “More than anything in life,” she said. “I have actual dreams.” Ms. Bradley, a Detroit native, found her way to the School of American Ballet through the Dance Theater of Harlem. One of her teachers, Andrea Long-Naidu — a former City Ballet dancer — encouraged her to audition for the school.

(He refers to himself as “a cultural gumbo.”) Peter Martins, the ballet master in chief of City Ballet as well as the artistic director and chairman of faculty at the School of American Ballet, says that substantial change may take time, but it will happen. “We are not a white company,” he said. “We don’t seek to be a black company. We don’t seek to be half and half. I just want to be American.” While it’s still too soon to tell if the children discovered through recent community auditions will make it into City Ballet, since 2008-9, the school has graduated <hl> 36 <hl> minority dancers who have gone on to join professional companies. Eleven of those joined City Ballet. India Bradley, a 17-year-old advanced student at the school said her ambition — obsession really — is to become one of them. “More than anything in life,” she said. “I have actual dreams.” Ms. Bradley, a Detroit native, found her way to the School of American Ballet through the Dance Theater of Harlem. One of her teachers, Andrea Long-Naidu — a former City Ballet dancer — encouraged her to audition for the school.


Question: Where is the reporter from?

Let’s start with an update from our last episode, which you may recall concerned a battle between a monk and United Airlines. The confrontation between a tranquillity-seeking man and an immovable corporation proved irresistible to websites like Yahoo News, Gawker and Boing Boing, to name a few. And a reporter from a local TV station was dispatched to the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, in Abiquiu, N.M., where the monk, Brother Noah, was asked to repeat his not very hostile kiss-off to an unyielding United phone rep: “Thank you for speaking. God bless you. I will pray for you. But you have not been helpful.” The column reverberated enough that the Haggler worried it had disturbed the otherwise placid life of the monastery. But Brother Noah emailed a few days after publication with reassuring words. “I am sure that nobody enters a monastery to become an Internet meme,” he wrote, “but the brothers and I are doing O.K.”

Question: What institute is David Makovsky a part of?

David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said that even though the White House had been effective at privately engaging skeptics of the deal on its merits, Mr. Obama appeared to be “hyping” his case to the public, perhaps in an effort to match the incendiary language of his opponents. “These two sides are just playing off each other, and they’re just going to drive this debate off a cliff,” Mr. Makovsky said. “You come to expect a certain high road in political persuasion from this president, and if he feels that the critics are being unfair, call them on that, but don’t say, ‘I see your low road, and I’m going to double it.’ ”

Question: Who stated that death of the black woman in police custody would bring renewed attention to the anger between white and blacks?

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Loretta E.

Question: Who imposed sanctions on North Korea?

The United States expanded sanctions targeting North Korea on Tuesday, imposing economic penalties on six of its international banking representatives and three of its shipping companies for what the Treasury Department called ties to illicit arms proliferation and financing.

Question: Who thought Westbrook was more of a dog?

“Is Russell Westbrook a cat or a dog?” Westbrook is, in fact, the star point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, so this was a somewhat jarring question to pose to his fellow players during the National Basketball Association’s All-Star weekend in 2013. Nonetheless, they played along. James Harden thought Westbrook was more of a dog. Dwyane Wade hedged. “He’s a cat-dog,” he said. Finally, Westbrook weighed in. “Wolf,” he said. The cat-or-dog question came from a host of “The Basketball Jones,” an N.B.A. podcast started in 2006 by three Canadian basketball fanatics who will bring their blend of deep basketball analysis and irreverent, goofy attitude to the N.B.A.’s All-Star festivities this weekend in New York.

Question: Mr. Dallagnol visited officials in which department of the U.S. government?

“For Petrobras to say, ‘We’re the victims,’ when their executives were perpetrating this scheme suggests that they haven’t learned their lesson,” said Jeremy A. Lieberman of the Pomerantz law firm, which has been appointed lead counsel in the case. “This is not just an incident of a few rotten apples on an otherwise pristine tree.” For all of its malign effects, Lava Jato has underscored that Brazil has a robust and independent group of federal police officers, judges and prosecutors, a rarity in nations plagued by corruption. Last month, for instance, the police searched the home of Fernando Collor, a former president and current senator, leaving with a Ferrari, a Lamborghini and a Porsche. (Mr. Collor has not been charged and denies involvement in Lava Jato.) Mr. Dallagnol and another prosecutor flew to Washington a few months ago to visit officials in the Justice Department, hoping to interest the United States in lending a hand. He says that he and his team could, if unhindered, investigate Lava Jato for years.

Question: What did Sgt Michael Faranda admire about Ukrainians willingness despite lack of prepartion??

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt.

Question: Why did he want to show the film to others?

Mr. Emmerich shot “Stonewall” over 42 days in Montreal, on a $17 million budget, he said. He was initially inspired by a friend who told him about his upbringing in Kansas. Then he read about homeless young people being involved in the riots. He brainstormed the fictional approach of a rural teenager taken in and being taught how to survive in New York. Asked if he would have done anything differently, given the backlash, Mr. Emmerich emphatically replied: “No. No.” He noted that he had shown the film to two veterans of the Stonewall riots, Martin Boyce and Williamson L. Henderson, “to make it as accurate as possible.”
