Question: Who was recorded on the tape in question?

“I have decided that he is not available for selection,” the president of France’s soccer federation, Noël Le Graët, said Thursday. He called dropping Benzema a “heartbreaking” decision. Benzema cannot play for France, Le Graët said, until the case is resolved. France will host the European soccer championship in June, the biggest tournament held there since the 1998 World Cup. A tape obtained by Europe 1 Radio of a conversation between Benzema and a friend included several apparently damning comments, the BBC reported, including Benzema’s saying that he said to Valbuena, “If you want the video to be destroyed, my friend comes up to see you in Lyon and you sort it out face to face with him.”

Question: What party does Jeremy Corbyn belong to?

“Whether it’s weakening our defenses, raising taxes on jobs and earnings, racking up more debt and welfare or driving up the cost of living by printing money — Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party will hurt working people,” he said in a statement. More worrying for Mr. Corbyn will be internal critics. Steven Fielding, professor of political history at Nottingham University, said that the emphatic nature of Mr. Corbyn’s victory made it likely that his opponents would keep quiet for some months, and hope for him to trip up. “I think there will be some kind of cease-fire, and that they will see how it goes, assuming that in six to 12 months, Labour’s opinion poll position will start to fall, and then they can start acting more assertively,” Mr. Fielding said. Doing so more quickly might risk the wrath of the party supporters, many of whom have been energized by Mr. Corbyn’s campaign, Mr. Fielding added. On Saturday they thronged the conference center where the results were announced, some cheering or chanting.

Question: Who played three seasons in the American Hockey League?

Lindberg already has. The Rangers obtained him from Arizona in an all-but-overlooked May 2011 trade for center Ethan Werek, their second-round draft choice two years earlier. Werek played three seasons in the American Hockey League and is now under contract to play for the Florida Everblades of the ECHL. Lindberg played two more seasons for Skelleftea AIK in the Swedish Hockey League and then joined the Rangers’ Hartford farm club in 2013, scoring 46 goals in 150 regular-season games but never quite reaching his potential. Wearing No. 48, he played one regular-season game for the Rangers last season, when Rick Nash sat out because of back spasms.

Question: Who directed Steve Jobs?

★ ‘Steve Jobs’ (R, 2:02) This three-panel portrait of the Apple co-founder, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, portrays Jobs (Michael Fassbender) as a complicated, ambitious man caught in a tangle of messy personal and business relationships. Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. (Scott) ★ ‘Taxi’ (No rating, 1:22) Shot almost entirely with a dashboard-mounted video camera, Jafar Panahi’s latest film — his third since the Iranian government banned him from practicing his craft in 2010 — is a wry meditation on the slippery boundary between movies and reality and a pointed work of social criticism. What seems like a random series of encounters turns out to be an elegantly shaped and poignant parable of modern urban life. (Scott) ★ ‘Theeb’ (No rating, 1:40, in Arabic) The title character in the “Arabic western,” set in 1916 and heavily influenced by Sergio Leone, is a Bedouin boy stranded in the desert with the mercenary who killed his older brother. The survival drama is as tough as it is picturesque. (Holden)

Question: Who was the potentate of English pottery?

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: Who is Gizmodo's new editor?

Some of the areas of coverage that those sites focused on will now be addressed by the remaining seven sites. Jezebel, he said, will now “become the primary voice for celebrity and pop culture coverage in the network.” Gizmodo, which recently hired a new editor, Katie Drummond, from Bloomberg, will take over the coverage of science fiction, fantasy and futurism that was previously handled by the site io9. Seven people will lose their jobs in the revamping, although six jobs will be created. Plans to license Gawker’s content management system, Kinja, will be shelved. Gawker.com, the first site founded by Mr. Denton, had been seen as the quintessential Manhattan media and gossip publication of the Internet age — a destination for ambitious, young writers eager to cover the industry and the powerful figures who populate it. It has been no stranger to turmoil itself, with frequent changes among its top newsroom leadership, scandals over subjects it has covered or materials it has published. Disagreements in its staff have often broken into public view. But the announcement on Tuesday represents a more fundamental change of direction for the site and the company.

Question: What does the person advocate that leaders cannot be?

To be an effective leader, you can’t be conflict-averse. So many people are conflict-averse. That’s been my biggest surprise in business. I wasn’t expecting how many people in leadership positions and in very senior managerial positions are averse to conflict. I don’t think you can push something forward if you don’t have that skill. And is that something that’s always been natural for you? It has, and maybe it’s because I grew up with so many different opinions and perspectives. I had to be able to address differences very early on as I moved through my life. It’s a skill set I had naturally, but I’ve also developed it over time. It’s about being direct and honest but constructive, and calling out the elephants in the room. Let’s talk about it and find a way forward.

Question: What park does Garcia do his running in?

“I am perfectly happy with what I have here, and every item has a meaning for me,” said Dr. García, who wrote an essay about editing his life in preparation for his move. Even the location on a busy cross street is an advantage. His twice-weekly trip to Columbia involves the crosstown bus and the subway. On the return trip, the bus delivers him to his doorstep. He runs either in Central Park — it’s more distant than he had hoped — or along the East River. Though he is not keen on the subway construction a few doors down, he knows it is temporary.

Question: When was the last time the All Star Game took place in New York?

For the first time since 1998, and for the fifth time in league history, the All-Star Game made a stop in New York, infusing the arena with a dose of the basketball skill, celebrity presence and general sense of occasion it has lacked for the last three months, given the struggles of the hometown Knicks. The game capped a multiborough weekend spree of brand-sponsored parties, in-store promotional appearances, charity events and various activities vaguely related to basketball, some of which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In a leisurely game that grew mildly competitive only in the final minutes, the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference, 163-158, in front of a well-dressed, sellout crowd. The N.B.A. distributed two-thirds of the tickets to its marketing and broadcast partners and affiliates, the participating players and the players’ union, as well as league alumni. The league said that around 1,800 credentials were issued to various media outlets.

Question: Where did Chris Wood serve as station chief?

As part of a bureaucratic reshuffling last month by John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director, Mr. D’Andrea has been replaced as head of the drone program by Chris Wood. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Mr. Wood held leadership roles in Alec Station, the group that led the hunt for Qaeda suspects and was central to the interrogation program. He ultimately was in charge of that unit and would later serve as station chief in Kabul. Most recently, he supervised all operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Mr. Wood now runs a targeted killing program that is the subject of multiple investigations that Mr. Obama announced last week.

Question: How much did HP pay for each Aruba share?

Hewlett-Packard agreed on Monday to buy Aruba Networks, a maker of Wi-Fi access equipment for businesses, for about $3 billion in HP’s biggest deal in more than three years. The deal would also be the first major transaction by the technology company since it announced plans to split itself in two last year. Under the terms of the agreement, HP will pay $24.67 a share in cash. That represents a roughly 34 percent premium to Aruba’s closing price on Feb. 24, the day before Bloomberg News reported the merger discussions between the two. Buying Aruba would bolster HP’s networking business as smartphones, tablets and other connected devices continue to proliferate. Aruba, a 13-year-old networking equipment maker, specializes in wireless networking access point hardware and software, which are used by hotels, universities and shopping malls. The company reported $728.9 million in revenue in its fiscal year that ended July 31, up nearly 22 percent from the prior year. Its net loss narrowed during the same time, to $29 million.

Question: Who is a real estate mogul who was running for president?

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 abducted the triplets?

‘Rapunzarella White: A Fairly Fractured Tale’ (Saturday) Yes, it’s fractured, but it’s also blended: In this creative musical retelling, by June Rachelson-Ospa and Daniel Neiden, Rapunzel, Cinderella and Snow White are infant triplets abducted by an ill-tempered witch. These heroines aren’t like their traditional selves — Snow White, for instance, is allergic to apples — and neither are their princes, who may be more clumsy than charming. (Through May 9.)

Question: What country did many Uighurs try to flee to?

Many Uighurs have been trying to flee China to Turkey, usually by first traveling overland through Southeast Asian countries to Malaysia. Last year, hundreds of Uighurs in separate groups, most of them women and children, were detained by Thai security forces in the jungles of southern Thailand. They told Thai officials that they were Turkish citizens, and they were later visited by diplomats from the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok. Chinese officials insisted to the Thai government that the migrants be sent back to China. The fate of those migrant Uighurs is unclear.

Question: Those who speak Maltese are predominantly what religion?

Malta’s citizenship program, which offers a passport to those willing to pay 1.2 million euros, about $1.3 million, has been controversial since it was introduced more than a year ago. But the residency requirements, meant to make the program more palatable, are only increasing the consternation among critics, who say the program has resulted in the sale of citizenship to the global 0.1 percent. Applicants must show they have rented a property in Malta for 12 months. But they do not necessarily have to spend any time in this Mediterranean island nation, raising the question of what genuine links they are establishing. “It is questionable how the residency requirement is being applied,” said Tonio Fenech, a member of Malta’s Parliament Lawyers, accountants and real estate agents say the citizenship program has catapulted Malta onto the radar of the global elite. Applications are pouring in, and the program aims to raise €2 billion, more than a quarter of Malta’s gross domestic product. “We want to attract individuals who can add value to our country because of their ideas, and their networks and their businesses and their talent,” said Jonathan Cardona, chief executive of Identity Malta, which administers the Individual Investor Program. Housed in a sprawling, fortresslike 16th-century building once used as a hospital, the Malta citizenship program nods to the country’s multicultural past, punctuated over the years by invasion. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Fatimids, Normans, Sicilians, Spanish, French, a European lay religious order and the British all tried to conquer or rule Malta, and many succeeded. Maltese, the official language with English, looks and sounds Arabic, but its speakers are primarily Roman Catholics who pray to Allah, or God.

Question: How much was spent to instill fear of the attacker's arrest?

Beyond these attacks, extortionists went after two longtime Bitcoin advocates last year, threatening to exploit personal information about the men’s families if they did not pay up. When one of the men, Hal Finney, refused to submit, the assailant called the local police and reported a murder at Mr. Finney’s home, resulting in a SWAT team taking over the home, the family has said. The other victim, Roger Ver, threw off his attacker by offering a Bitcoin bounty of roughly $20,000 for his attacker’s arrest.

Answer: a Bitcoin bounty of roughly $20,000

Question: What is the main differentiator according to the author?

Tights are the main differentiator. In venues, I tend to get cold, so no matter what time of year it is, I’ll wear tights. But for festivals you’re outside and tights are way too hot to handle. That’s pretty much the only difference. What inspires your overall style? Audrey Hepburn is a huge influence on my style. She’s classy, confident and simplistic. She’s a tomboy and also super feminine. Overall, I have a relaxed yet put together kind of thing going on at all times. Except for my hair, I can’t quite seem to keep that together.

Question: What did the pope lump abortion along with, during his Washington visit?

“Like …” I groped. “…Greed?” All I knew about greed was cartoons of Scrooge McDuck sitting on a pile of money. There were obviously a lot of character failings we could have discussed. My friends and I were capable of floating for weeks without seriously directing attention at anything that didn’t involve ourselves. But as long as we kept away from boys’ wandering hands, we felt spiritually A-O.K. This pope is highly unlikely to accept gay marriage, and he’ll never give abortion a pass. But in Washington he grouped abortion in a long catalog of wrongs that need to be righted: hungry children, bombing, “immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow,” old or sick people who are treated as a burden, terrorism, war, drug trafficking and environmental devastation. It’s a long, long way from believing that God looked at Clark Gable’s soul and saw nothing but a guy who got divorced.

Question: Who painted Venus and Adonis?

Bernard Goldberg A strikingly American version of Modernism, Paul Cadmus’s painting “Venus and Adonis” (1936) riffs on a Rubens canvas from the 1630s depicting the same subject. Exhibited in several museums, this is a relatively tame piece by Cadmus, whose work was removed from the Corcoran Gallery in Washington in the 1930s at the request of the United States Navy because of its salacious depiction of sailors. (Cadmus was one of the first publicly gay artists.) Mazzoleni The surge of interest in masters of Italian Modernism is reflected at Mazzoleni, which is showing works by Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana and Michelangelo Pistoletto. A diminutive 1966 red plastic work by Burri, made by taking a blowtorch to plastic, is like a miniature version of what is on view in the Burri show at the Guggenheim Museum. Several canvases with Fontana’s signature slashes are joined by a recent Pistoletto mirror work that includes a flat image of a man on a telephone.

Question: What is PHA created by?

As the article correctly noted elsewhere, he is Richard Wrangham, not Wrangell. BUSINESS DAY An article on Tuesday about a decision by the airbag manufacturer Takata to continue using a chemical compound deemed dangerous by experts misstated the point at which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began receiving complaints about rupturing Takata airbags. It was in 2001, not “almost 15 years ago.” The error was repeated in articles on Sept. 15, 2014, and on May 20, which referred to the complaints as having started in 2000, rather than 2001. • An article on May 23 about the environmental threat posed by plastic microbeads used as exfoliating agents in personal care products misstated the source of PHA, a naturally occurring plastic that one company is developing as a biodegradable substitute.

Question: What claim does Ms. Harper dismiss in her postings?

Answer: childhood vaccines cause autism

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. <hl> An online posting from six years ago included the unlikely revelation that she used to read to her son a book by Donald J.

Question: How much has the Shanghai Composite index risen this year?

Although the Shanghai composite index has risen less than 3 percent so far this year, the Zexi No. 1 Fund, which works with a subsidiary of the state-owned conglomerate China Resources, gained 323 percent through Friday; it has risen 3,270 percent since its inception in 2010. The Zexi No. 3 Fund has gained 382 percent this year and 3,945 percent since 2010, according to figures on the company’s website, which were obtained before it was taken down late Monday morning. The firm’s performance was the subject of intense market speculation in September, when a post on social media accused the company of manipulation. It focused on an unprofitable clothing retailer that reached a market high this summer despite the market volatility.

Question: How do specialists in the hawker centers master the food?

How much of Chomp Chomp’s food would attract long lines in Singapore? I’m not sure. For specialists working in hawker centers, mastery becomes second nature through repetition. With around two dozen dishes on the menu, Mr. Wong’s kitchen may not get enough practice to turn out a heart-stopping version of any one of them. Flavors can go slightly out of focus from night to night. Lamb rendang was pasty, dry and a bit muffled at one meal. The next time, it was juicier and so richly curried I could almost believe it was cooked in the “million spices” advertised on the menu.

Question: What did his friends give him?

As he walked by their cells, this time as a prisoner, they shook the bars and menacingly called out his name. Men came to his cell to make death threats. “I started to live in hell,” said Mr. Silva Neto, 48. Friends gave him a knife and a revolver, which he hid in his bed. He said he witnessed a murder inside the compound. Another time, when he got up in the night to use the bathroom, he came upon a man being sexually assaulted by four others. In Paraíba, a poor state in the country’s northeast, inmate killings, including by decapitation, and prison rebellions are commonplace. Those scenes of chaos have become normalized across Brazil, as the country’s prisons have swelled over the past two decades and its incarcerated population surpassed half a million.

Question: In what year was the law review article comparing the antitrust pursuit against Google to the Microsoft case published?

“In the Microsoft case, if they’d just waited a while, the problems they thought they saw would have disappeared because technology, consumer behavior and the market demand changed enough to correct those problems,” said Geoffrey A. Manne, executive director of the International Center for Law and Economics, a policy research organization that has received funding from technology companies including, in the past, Google. In a 2013 law review article comparing the antitrust pursuit against Google to the Microsoft case, Mr. Manne was more succinct: “Microsoft’s market position was unassailable ... until it wasn’t.”

Question: What style of writing ages quickly?

Question: Who was the judge for Mr. Fawwaz's trial?

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

Question: What were republicans trying to repeal?

WASHINGTON —  Emerging from an all-night session that was more exhausting than dramatic, Senate Republicans on Friday squeaked through a budget blueprint that would repeal the Affordable Care Act, fundamentally remake federal health care for the poor and elderly, and push the federal deficit toward zero over the next decade. The 52-to-46 vote came at 3:28 a.m. after the Senate considered hundreds of amendments and voted on dozens — many of them politically freighted, some of them contradictory, but none of them binding. No Democrats voted for the budget. Among Republicans, only Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who is likely to seek the White House, and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who has announced his intention to do so, voted no. Senator Michael B. Enzi of Wyoming, the chairman of the Budget Committee, hailed a plan that he said would “protect the nation’s most vulnerable citizens, strengthen national defense and bring robust economic growth.”

Question: How many pitchers took the mound in the last seven innings?

Torres’s elongated preparation apparently worked: De Jesus grounded out, and the Mets went on to win, 2-1, in 13 innings on Sunday afternoon. The Mets’ bullpen threw seven scoreless innings, and Bobby Parnell picked up his first victory since June 16, 2013. “We won the game,” Manager Terry Collins said. “That’s the only good thing that happened besides the pitching today.” The teams combined to use 11 pitchers during the final seven innings, and a 12th, the Reds’ Mike Leake, made an appearance as a pinch-hitter. The Mets left runners on base in the eighth through the 12th innings before loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the 13th. The Reds brought outfielder Skip Schumaker into the infield to try to prevent the winning run, but Lucas Duda hit a high chopper that first baseman Joey Votto failed to field cleanly. Votto’s bobble allowed Dilson Herrera to sprint home from third with the winning run.

Question: How old is Paige Decker?

Paige Decker sustained a career-ending concussion in November 2013 when she was playing for Yale and was blindsided by a check that sent her head crashing to the ice. Decker has visited more than 40 physicians throughout North America, searching to alleviate the daily pains that saturate her nerves and muscles. She often leaves only with misdiagnoses and thousands of dollars in bills that her insurance does not cover. She compared her constant headaches to barbed wire constricting her brain. Decker, 23, left a consulting job in Boston a year ago because of her health. She is largely confined to her parents’ house in Connecticut.

Question: What is the main institution that turns unskilled individuals into skilled ones?

Today’s economy leaves little doubt about the value of college. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2014 the median worker with a bachelor’s degree (and no advanced degree) earned $69,260, compared with $34,540 for the median worker with only a high school diploma. Over a lifetime, that difference accumulates to about $1.5 million. Increasing educational attainment is also the best way to combat growing income inequality. Over the last 40 years, the wages of skilled workers have increased substantially compared with the wages of the unskilled. Most economists agree that a leading cause is skill-biased technological change — the tendency of new technologies to increase the relative demand for skilled workers. College is the main institution that can offset this trend by turning unskilled individuals into skilled ones. Even those who do not attend college benefit when more of their fellow citizens do so. A person who becomes educated leaves the pool of the unskilled. Those left behind face fewer competitors. With fewer unskilled workers vying for the available jobs, wages at the bottom of the economic ladder are bid up. Although increasing college attendance makes a lot of sense, both for individuals and for the nation, the financial hurdle to doing so is higher than ever. The College Board reports that published tuition and fees at a typical private, nonprofit college, adjusted for overall inflation, have increased by 70 percent over the last 20 years. What gives?
