Question: What is the name of Aaron Hicklin's new bookstore?

On a recent Sunday afternoon, the journalist and editor Aaron Hicklin was standing among some still-empty shelves in his newly completed bookstore, One Grand, in a former mercantile building in the town of Narrowsburg, New York. In less than one week, he would open the doors to the shop, but at the moment he was still fretfully awaiting the final shipments of his stock. “I’ll be honest, I am really surprised by how many books you need to fill a space,” Hicklin said. “I have about a thousand in here, but you’d never know it. I’ve got to fill these damn shelves!”

Question: How many runs did Harvey drive in with a single during the fourth inning?

Afterward, Manager Terry Collins said Cuddyer had been available, but he had waited too long, and the right situation had never arisen, so Cuddyer remained on the bench. The Mets’ lone hit with runners in scoring position Monday came, of course, from their pitcher, Harvey. With the bases loaded in the fourth, he flipped a single into right field, scoring two runs. He had hit a two-run homer in his previous start, in a two-run Mets win. “Just try to put the ball in play,” Harvey said. The Mets’ pitchers have set an example for the whole team, compiling 17 R.B.I., the most of any pitching staff in baseball. Harvey retired the final 14 batters he faced. Some of the outs were well hit, but he pitched as if he wanted to compensate for those five early runs. Ending with a flourish, he struck out Harper looking at a stinging 98-mile-per-hour fastball, on his 99th and final pitch.

Question: Who presented the Otro Teatro last year?

Luciana Achugar (through Dec. 19) Last year Ms. Achugar presented “Otro Teatro” at New York Live Arts, exploring what it would mean to “grow ourselves a new body.” Since that ecstatic, anarchic ritual of a performance, she has continued the investigation of pleasure, desire and dance as an agent for change. The next and perhaps final phase is “An Epilogue for Otro Teatro: True Love,” which takes over a studio at Gibney Dance’s downtown location for three hours at a time. Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Gibney Dance: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center, 280 Broadway, near Chambers Street, Lower Manhattan, 646-837-6809, gibneydance.org. (Siobhan Burke)

Question: What department did Cruz accidentally mention twice?

Cruz then grabbed the ball, skewering Clinton more sharply and showing that he could out-eloquent Rubio and out-nasty anyone. Has a young politician ever managed to be so impressive and so repulsive all at once? That’s the fascination of Cruz, and the most fun Tuesday night was his stumble on the very ground that tripped up Rick Perry four years ago. During a debate back then, Perry said he wanted to eliminate three federal departments or agencies and could name only two. Cruz said he wanted to eliminate five and named the Commerce Department twice.

Question: What are the names of two tourists who were stranded in New York during the blizzard?

For many New Yorkers this week, as the blizzard panic lifted from the city, the pressing culinary question on Tuesday was, “Now what do I do with all this Dinty Moore?” One answer was just to walk away, perhaps to find a table someplace where the snow outside maintained its fleeting Currier & Ives majesties. Why not? With Tavern on the Green shuttered because of the weather, scenic duty fell to the slight remove of the restaurants of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, where the trees of Central Park displayed dustings of white thingamajigs suspended perilously above their inevitable future as unloved street slush. Quiet descended on the city, cocktails and Pat LaFrieda beef products descended on the polished black tables of the Stone Rose Lounge, and stranded tourists consoled themselves for having to spend an extra night in the world’s greatest city. Poor babies. IN THE SEATS At a tall table facing the fourth-floor windows, Noelle Galperin and Ernie Garcia, from Miami, shed no tears for the flight that was supposed to take them home earlier in the day. Ms. Galperin, 46, is a management consultant; Mr. Garcia, 38, runs a financial services company. Both are self-employed. Neither had pressing needs back home. “That’s the beauty of cellphones,” Ms. Galperin said. “We worked a little bit in the morning, took a conference call, and tomorrow we’ll do a little of that. As self-employed entrepreneurs we’re always working, but it’s not bad. We like it.” As for the weather, which scared away much of the usual bustle, Mr. Garcia said he was happy for a little winter. “It was nice to cool down,” he said. “We came from 80-degree weather, so this is a treat.”

Question: Who said people considered gender equality to not be of value?

PG: How did people respond when you first raised concerns about equality for women? GS: They were either disinterested or said it was impossible. My classic experience was an editor who said, “O.K., you can publish an article saying women are equal.” But right next to it, he would publish an article that said that they weren’t — to be objective. RBG: The concern was that if a woman was doing gender equality, her chances of making it to tenure in the law school were diminished. It was considered frivolous.

Question: Where does he eat alot of vegetarian food?

Which makes it a weekend dish, probably? Not necessarily. You could set the currants in vinegar in the morning and let them sit all day. Make the dressing in early evening as the squash roasts and cools. Then lay out the half moons across a platter that’s warmer than your room. And drape the sauce — thick and almost clumpy — across them, and onto the negative space between them as well. It seems like a lot of sauce. It isn’t, though, when there’s good bread to mop it up as your companions stab at the squash, at the little nuts, at the small dice of cheese. ‘‘I eat a lot of vegetarian food at home,’’ Baumgart said. ‘‘But I don’t necessarily like a vegetarian entree. I don’t like that as a concept at all. I’d pair this salad with a plate of braised greens, some good bread, and I’d be all set.’’ You will be, too.

Question: What is the official territory status of Puerto Rico?

Q. How is Puerto Rico different from a state? A. Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States. It is a distinction that, for years, has carried many of the advantages of being a state and few of the downsides. Most notably, Puerto Rico receives federal assistance, but most of its residents do not pay federal personal income taxes. But the lack of statehood is now hurting the island at its time of greatest need. Unlike states, which can authorize their municipalities to declare bankruptcy, Puerto Rico has no such access to bankruptcy courts for its government entities. That has left the island facing a chaotic debt restructuring with no legal referee. While there are proposals on Capitol Hill to give Puerto Rico bankruptcy powers, the island’s status hurts here, too. Puerto Rico’s lone representative in Congress has no vote, which has hampered the bills’ progress.

Question: What type of conviction MIGHT be a good indicator?

No single law usually could have prevented mass shootings, which remain rare. Gun violence experts are increasingly interested in changing laws to better target those who have a demonstrated propensity for gun violence. For instance, a nonviolent felony conviction from two decades ago may well be less predictive of gun violence than a domestic violence protection order or drunken-driving conviction, said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research.

Question: What clay did Cookworthy use in his porcelain?

Not long afterward, while out for a walk, Cookworthy stopped to ask mine workers about the local clay they were using to patch the cracks in a furnace. De Waal juxtaposes Cookworthy’s small-time efforts to fire the stuff with the enterprises of Josiah Wedgwood, the potentate of English pottery, who sent a factotum all the way to a mountain in the Cherokee Nation in the Carolinas to retrieve five tons of white clay. By contrast, Cookworthy’s first successful piece, a cider tankard, is porcelain that “comes into being through walking and noticing and picking things up and feeling texture, through listening intently, openly, to men working by the side of the road.”

Question: What department counts about 20 boats in its fleet?

Indeed, the sight of smoke billowing from an industrial zone as water arches in from bobbing watercraft is an increasingly rare one for the Fire Department’s Marine Battalion, which counts about 20 boats in its fleet but more frequently responds to medical emergencies and boats in distress. This weekend’s fire, however, marked the second time in two weeks that fireboats rushed toward plumes of smoke from out-of-control fires on the banks of the city’s rivers. On Jan. 21, several New York City fireboats helped fight a fire in a New Jersey apartment complex in Edgewater, a community along the Hudson.

Question: What trade group released a letter that warned of the huge buildup of assets in the bond market?

The Institute of International Finance, a trade group that represents global banks, also released a letter on Wednesday that warned of the huge buildup of assets in the bond market. The institute’s views on the topic tend to reflect its main constituency, investment banks, which have complained that excessive regulation has hindered their ability to provide liquidity in the market. BlackRock has argued that bond E.T.F.s, and its increasing size, are healthful for the markets in general and that in a low interest rate environment it is to be expected that long-term investors like insurance companies and pension funds invest in higher yielding securities to lock in better returns. Moreover, the industry has said that firms like BlackRock do not invest their own capital in these types of securities — as investment banks did before the crisis — and do not rely on leverage to bolster returns.

Question: What sorts of images were shown withing the pages of Charlie Hebdo?

The editors, journalists and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo reveled in controversy and relished hitting nerves. The magazine’s editorial director, Stéphane Charbonnier, who was killed in the attack, had scoffed at any suggestion that the magazine should tone down its trademark satire to appease anyone.

And Charlie Hebdo has been an equal-opportunity offender: Muslims, Jews and Christians — not to mention politicians of all stripes — have been targets of buffoonish, vulgar caricatures and cartoons that push every hot button with glee.

Q. Your father and two of his cousins were then leading the group. How did you negotiate that relationship? A. Working with men from a different generation could have been difficult, and I’m not sure they believed in my vision, but I have to say they were rather benevolent and appreciative of my efforts. My father had always included me and my sister in the business, his office door was always open and even as children we would go in and sit at the end of the conference room and listen to his meetings. His secretary would give us Coca-Cola, which we were not allowed to have at home. He would also take us on business trips, too. Later I realized how much he had exposed me to a lot of things.

Question: Who refuses to approve universal background checks for gun sales?

It was the 70th time since 2008 that the Supreme Court has declined to consider a lawsuit challenging a federal, state or local gun regulation. This creates a big opportunity for Americans to put pressure on their state and local leaders, especially since Congress refuses to approve even uncontroversial measures like universal background checks for gun sales, which are supported by nearly nine in 10 Americans. Until that changes, states and cities have the constitutional authority and moral obligation to protect the public from the scourge of gun violence.

Question: What should be issued more (to pay for things) when the price is right?

One answer is that issuing debt is a way to pay for useful things, and we should do more of that when the price is right. The United States suffers from obvious deficiencies in roads, rails, water systems and more; meanwhile, the federal government can borrow at historically low interest rates. So this is a very good time to be borrowing and investing in the future, and a very bad time for what has actually happened: an unprecedented decline in public construction spending adjusted for population growth and inflation. Beyond that, those very low interest rates are telling us something about what markets want. I’ve already mentioned that having at least some government debt outstanding helps the economy function better. How so? The answer, according to M.I.T.’s Ricardo Caballero and others, is that the debt of stable, reliable governments provides “safe assets” that help investors manage risks, make transactions easier and avoid a destructive scramble for cash. Now, in principle the private sector can also create safe assets, such as deposits in banks that are universally perceived as sound. In the years before the 2008 financial crisis Wall Street claimed to have invented whole new classes of safe assets by slicing and dicing cash flows from subprime mortgages and other sources. But all of that supposedly brilliant financial engineering turned out to be a con job: When the housing bubble burst, all that AAA-rated paper turned into sludge. So investors scurried back into the haven provided by the debt of the United States and a few other major economies. In the process they drove interest rates on that debt way down.

Question: What party is now leading the government in Athens?

Blockupy is a left-wing alliance of dozens of activist groups from across Europe. Its members include one of the largest German labor unions, the United Service Union, known as Ver.di, and Syriza, the left-wing, anti-austerity Greek political party that is now leading the government in Athens. The European Central Bank is one of Greece’s main creditors, and it is part of the so-called troika of international organizations that are supervising the Greek bailout program that the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is trying to renegotiate. The central bank, along with the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, is widely blamed for imposing austerity measures on countries that have needed bailouts.

Question: Why do police commanders and prosecutors support camera use?

Police commanders and prosecutors generally support camera use, arguing that they provide useful evidence, and will usually show the officers conducting themselves professionally. Views among officers and the unions representing them are more mixed, varying from place to place. “A negative is that police might say, ‘We just won’t put ourselves in bad situations,’ that they say, ‘We are not going to jeopardize our lives because if we make a good-faith mistake, it is going to look like a crime, and we’re going to get prosecuted for murder,’ ” said Francis T. Cullen, a professor in the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Cincinnati.

Question: what did trump say about obama?

Trump could have let the man ask his question and then correct his racist nonsense, without blocking his free speech, which is exactly what McCain did in a similar situation. Instead, he later said it was not his place to defend Obama. As someone who aspires to be president it is his place to defend the truth, but since Trump himself has been the source of so much birther nonsense about Obama, I guess that would be hard. Instead he tweeted: “Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great.” And then, like clockwork, Ben Carson saw Trump blurring another civic redline and leapfrogged him. Carson stated, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.” So a whole faith community gets delegitimized and another opportunity for someone to courageously stand up for what’s decent is squandered. But it will play well with certain voters. And that is all that matters — until something really bad happens. And then, all of it — the words, tweets, signs and boasts — will be footage for another documentary that ends badly.

Question: Where did Picasso's family settle from when he was a teenager?

BARCELONA — When a young Pablo Picasso left Barcelona for Paris in 1904, he left behind a group of friends who proved to be perhaps the greatest influence on his early life and work. One prominent Catalonian family, the Reventós, helped establish Picasso in Barcelona, where his family had settled from Málaga when he was a teenager. Two brothers, Jacint (“Cinto”) and Ramón (“Moni”) Reventós, became crucial friends for the young Picasso, influencing him both politically and artistically: Their household was frequented by pillars of the Catalan Modernisme movement, such as Santiago Rusiñol and Ramón Casas. Jacint Reventós remained a friend until he and Picasso were elderly.

Question: What is happening to the streets more this year?

But the arresting stories of the two unarmed women, and most of all the vivid images of Ms. Sabbagh’s death, have dramatized the police violence more effectively than any statistics, rights advocates say. “She is a member of a very tame opposition party, by no means a revolutionary, and yet she is subjected to this brutal force,” said Amr Abdel Rahman, a researcher with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. “The streets are becoming much less safe for Egyptian activists from any walk of the political spectrum than it was even last year,” he said.

Question: Does Mr Cameron have the infrastructure to make it work?

The new groundwater law that the Legislature passed last year would give farmers stronger incentive to cooperate in such plans. In wet years, they might allow their fields to be flooded in the winter or early spring to recharge the groundwater, and they would then be entitled to pump a certain amount out in dry years. Now, urgent research is underway to figure out what soils and crops can tolerate deliberate flooding. To move floodwater around in the winter, new canals and other infrastructure may be needed in some areas, one potential use of some of the $2.7 billion in public money. If floods come this winter, Mr. Cameron will wish he were in a position to go beyond his 2011 experiment, capturing more water. But, like many farmers, he does not yet have the canals and gear in place to make that work, a big reason the farmers could be forced to watch millions of gallons of floodwater escape to the sea this winter.

Question: How many manufacturing  jobs has Connecticut lost over the last 20 years?

“We are fighting for the future of middle-class families,” said Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut. “These trade deals make it much easier for corporations to send American jobs overseas.” Over the past 20 years, Connecticut has lost more than 96,000 manufacturing jobs, she said, because of agreements that failed to protect American workers. Sanders told the assembled media that while he liked the president’s speech, “he was wrong on one major issue, and that is the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” He added, “I do not believe that continuing a set of bad policies, policies that have failed, makes any sense at all.”

Question: How low did the US treasury yield sink in April?

The sudden turn in the United States bond market seems to have little to do with American economic trends. The selling started last month in Europe, according to traders, and has since spilled into United States markets. “What’s really going on is an overseas market is hitting the U.S. market,” said Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia. Worried about the strength of the global economy, nervous investors crowded into government bond markets in Germany and the United States earlier this year, pushing prices up and rates down. In the middle of April, the 10-year United States Treasury yield sank as low as 1.86 percent, according to FactSet data. The 10-year German bund paid much less, yielding as little as 0.07 percent.

Question: what locations hosted the coloring?

Facing spiraling losses from store closings, Barnes & Noble is searching for ways to increase foot traffic and drive sales. Last month, the chain held a coloring event at stores around the country, where it doled out sample sheets from coloring books and art supplies. It also recently held a national Mini Maker Faire promoting technology literacy at its stores, with coding and 3-D printing workshops. Near the front of the Union Square store, a large display table was dedicated to vinyl records and turntables, and another area showcased tech gadgets. Near the registers, a table was covered with adult coloring books, one of the fastest-growing book categories, and art supplies. “The macro trend is about physical interaction with things,” Mr. Boire said. “I think it’s here for the long haul.”

Question: What kind of unexpected event occurred, briefly?

British Airways said a small number of passengers and crew had been taken to the hospital as a precaution. The airline said it had provided hotels for affected customers and would release more information about the fire, which it described as stemming from “a technical issue,” on its website, ba.com. The aircraft was a 275-seat Boeing 777, the airline and airport official said. The flight had been scheduled to leave at 4:05 p.m. Passengers were to be put on another plane, with a departure of 8 p.m., according to British Airways’ online flight schedule. That flight was scheduled to land at Gatwick Airport at 1:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday. The runway where the fire occurred was taken out of service after the episode. McCarran International Airport’s three remaining runways were operating normally, airport officials said.

Question: Who has to approve the change of this guideline about cholesterol consumption?

Did recommendations change when these studies were published? No, but they got closer to changing on Thursday, when a government committee urged repeal of the guideline that Americans limit their cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams a day, saying, “Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” I’m sure this will come as a surprise to a vast majority of Americans, who for decades have been watching their cholesterol intake religiously. (The change won’t be official until it is approved by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, but they usually closely follow the committee’s recommendations.)

Answer: the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture

No, but they got closer to changing on Thursday, when a government committee urged repeal of the guideline that Americans limit their cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams a day, saying, “Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” I’m sure this will come as a surprise to a vast majority of Americans, who for decades have been watching their cholesterol intake religiously. <hl> (The change won’t be official until it is approved by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture , but they usually closely follow the committee’s recommendations.) <hl>

Question: Who worked with Ms. Harper at a California care center?

“He’s no babbling idiot nor is his life worthless,” Ms. Harper wrote. “He’s very intelligent and is working on a career in filmmaking. My 18 years worth of experience with and knowledge about Asperger’s syndrome is paying off.” Alexis Jefferson, who worked with Ms. Harper at a Southern California subacute care center around 2010, said the gunman’s mother sometimes confided the difficulties she had in raising her son, including that she had placed Mr. Harper-Mercer in a psychiatric hospital when he did not take his medication. “She said that ‘my son is a real big problem of mine,’ ” Ms. Jefferson said in a telephone interview. “She said: ‘He has some psychological problems. Sometimes he takes his medication, sometimes he doesn’t. And that’s where the big problem is, when he doesn’t take his medication.’ ”

Question: What Mr. Bridges used to do in between songs?

They also played in his band here: In White Denim, they’re not especially restrained, but here, they played with a light touch. Maybe that’s out of deference to the style, or maybe it’s because Mr. Bridges isn’t yet a fully realized stage performer: He looked reluctant at times, and often the band was clobbering him as he was attempting subtlety. In between songs, he mumbled words quickly and unintelligibly. Playing the part is not enough. That mode gives him a framework, historical and structural. It takes the pressure off. It also advertises him without his having to so much as open his mouth.

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 film helped Kenji Mizoguchi find his footing?

The Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi (1898-1956) was not only a great artist, but he was also an unusually prolific one. By 1939, the year he completed “The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum,” a breathtaking melodrama opening in a new restoration Friday, he had over 50 films to his credit. Yet, it was only with his 1936 feature “Osaka Elegy” that, by some accounts, Mr. Mizoguchi felt he had finally found his artistic footing. “Chrysanthemum,” set in late 19th-century Japan, tells the story of Kikunosuke (Shotaro Hanayagi), an egotistic Kabuki actor, and Otoku (Kakuko Mori), who sacrifices her own happiness to help him achieve greatness.

Question: What is Jeb Bush's "family code" said to be?

But now, in an election cycle where the Republican Party’s grass-roots wing is angry and looking for a presidential candidate who projects a visceral sense of their frustration, some of Jeb Bush’s supporters say he may need to learn the fine art of negative campaigning. The Republican debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas provides Mr. Bush with a highly anticipated platform to forcefully take on his rivals. After faltering in a previous debate exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, Mr. Bush — perhaps more than anyone else onstage — might be compelled to prove he has the strength and passion not just to lead the nation, but to hold his own in the aggressive Colosseum of modern politics. That could be tricky for a man whose family code is one of polite gentility and even bipartisanship, not angry yelling and boorishness.

Question: Which moniker has Rodriguez accepted from fans?

“I wasn’t sure what to expect in spring training,” Girardi said last week. “But Alex is a worker and he knows how to play the game. And he’s been a really smart player for a long period of time, so if there’s anyone who can figure it out quickly, it would be Alex.” Rodriguez’s performance has moved him into the good graces of many, but not all, Yankees fans. On the road, Rodriguez has been booed, though it often seems as if it is a matter of course. As Rodriguez noted recently, he has been a popular villain since 2001, when he signed a then-record $252 million free-agent contract with the Texas Rangers.

Question: What happened?

A brain infection caused by a parasite was eventually suspected. Slowly, he recovered. “That changed him; it made him live in the moment,” Julie Trice said. “It made him realize that tomorrow is not promised, and neither is the next game.” Healthy again, Travis Trice had time to work out and get stronger. “He got up to maybe 175 pounds,” Izzo said, laughing. “But this past summer, he really advanced a lot physically. And I think he got more confident, too. Travis has always had a high basketball I.Q., but this season, I saw Travis develop in new ways. The last six weeks, he’s just been electric.”

Question: Who is the head of Playboy?

I was thinking about my friend when I read the news that Playboy, the venerable purveyor of celebrity interviews, literary fiction and female nudity, had decided to stop publishing pictures of naked ladies. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free.

Question: Where did she go to school?

Pat Cordova-Goff, an 18-year-old who describes herself as a “trans woman of color” and a student at Citrus College in Glendora, Calif., created the Gay-Straight Alliance Network petition calling for a boycott of “Stonewall” after watching the trailer. The petition has now racked up more than 24,100 signatures. “There was so much potential in this movie,” she said, adding: “The argument that the best person for the role of a trans person is a cis person ignores the fact that there are so many trans actors and actresses waiting for their big break. There are so many marginalized stories within our queer marginalized community, and we don’t give them a chance to be told.”

Question: What was the lowest TV audience the Mets saw after 2007?

The Mets’ average television audience, which reached a high of 314,171 in 2007, bottomed out at 138,627 in 2013 before a slight revival to just over 144,000 last season.
