Question: What organization is claimed to not provide health care for Fiorina?

“The evil genius of Fiorina,” Stan wrote, “is her uncanny ability to play the gender warrior within the GOP while promoting the party’s misogyny.” Stan continued: “But her feminism seems to begin and end with the fortunes of Fiorina herself, and seeing as she probably doesn’t rely on Planned Parenthood for her health care, she’s happy to deprive millions of women of that care by promoting outright lies about the organization, as in her false description of the video she referenced.” This distancing herself from the realities of less fortunate women is not new for Fiorina. When she became C.E.O. of Hewlett-Packard in 1999, she made the preposterous claim that “there is not a glass ceiling… My gender is interesting but really not the subject of the story here.”

Question: Who fought paid leave?

Corporate America, as a whole, has long fought paid leave. Executives, especially at small businesses, say it burdens employers with additional costs and the need to temporarily replace employees. Some studies have found that when governments require paid leave, employers pay for it by decreasing employees’ wages. “I certainly think there’s a lot of people who benefit from paid leave,” said James Sherk, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative group in Washington. “But given it’s not a free lunch and employees are paying for it, I’d prefer it was a decision the employee was making and not being forced on them.” Some small businesses are offering their own paid leave policies. Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream, a Seattle chain, recently began offering employees 12 weeks of paid parental leave. “It was not just the right thing to do but also a really important retention policy,” said Molly Moon Neitzel, the owner. In the prelude to the 2016 election, Democrats have signaled that they see paid leave as a political winner — a broadly popular policy change that addresses economic anxiety. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate, has called for legislation to guarantee paid sick, vacation and family leave.

Question: How old is Song Tairan?

Yet there are those who still see the stock market as the best investment, given low interest rates at banks and the huge amount of capital needed to buy property in many cities.

Question: Talibes were often beat with what?

Tens of thousands of children in Senegal are being exploited by Quranic teachers who force them to beg in the streets, Human Rights Watch said Monday, blaming the government for failing to carry out a 2005 law aimed at stopping the trafficking of children and their exploitation in Quranic schools. A 2014 government census of the Islamic schools found that more than 30,000 children were being forced to beg in the capital, Dakar, alone. Nine of the students, called talibes, testified to regular beatings with rubber whips, wood and rope by their teacher and his assistants, the watchdog group said.

Question: When Arquette was speaking what did Meryl Streep do?

There were some moments that went against the usual Oscar formula of tears and gratitude. Patricia Arquette’s feminist call to arms at the end of her acceptance speech for supporting actress was unexpected and fierce. “We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America,” she said as Meryl Streep and others roared their approval. “Citizenfour,” about the National Security Agency leaker Edward J. Snowden, won best documentary, and its makers thanked Mr. Snowden, who is still in Russia, for his courage. Mr. Harris joked that Mr. Snowden “couldn’t be here for some treason.” Oscar nights usually do have their share of political posturing, but this was a particularly passionate evening.

Question: How many films did Kenji Mizoguchi have to his credit?

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: how many people were injured in the bombing?

The Boston race has been dominated by East Africans, with Kenya and Ethiopia taking 16 of the last 18 women’s titles. Kenya and Ethiopia also won 24 of the 26 men’s races before Keflezighi gave the United States its first victory since 1983. Now it could be the women’s turn. Flanagan was fourth in the 2013 Boston race, crossing the finish line a few hours before two explosions there killed three people and wounded more than 260. She led early last year, when she conceded to being overanxious in the aftermath of the bombings. “Everyone knows that this is the one I want to win so badly,” Flanagan said. “That’s probably been one of my downfalls — that I want it too much.”

Question: What happens when women speak up in meetings or negotiations?

Take Mr. Wadhwa’s claim that women in tech often underplay their accomplishments and that they should adopt a brash tone. In an article responding to the WNYC podcast, Mr. Wadhwa wrote that his findings were the product of two research
 reports, but those do not mention the confidence problem. When I asked him about it, he said the idea was born out of many interviews with women. His critics concede that women do sometimes underplay their strengths, but they point to another concern: Studies show that when women speak up in negotiations or other meetings, they are often penalized for doing so. And should women get ahead by aping the air of overconfidence and bravado that characterizes the Valley’s most cringe-inducing men? “I think that in 2015 we can give women better advice than ‘Behave more like men,’ ” said Cate Huston, a software engineer who has worked at Google and IBM.

Question: What right does academic censorship violate?

LONDON —  Students at Cardiff University have begun an online petition trying to bar Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist author, from speaking there next month because of her views on transgender women. Ms. Greer’s views are well known, but the campaign to bar her from giving a lecture has raised the issue of academic censorship, and the university swiftly rejected the petition in the name of free speech. Ms. Greer, 76, who is best known for her best seller, “The Female Eunuch,” has prompted outrage and protests in the past because of her comments. In a column in 2009 she wrote that transgender women seem like ghastly parodies and that a transgender woman was essentially “a man’s delusion that he is female.” According to Varsity, Cambridge University’s student newspaper, she suggested in January that transgender women do not know what it is like to have a vagina.

Question: Where did the meeting take place?

Secretary of State John Kerry met with European ministers over the weekend to discuss harsher economic sanctions against Russia because of the conflict in Ukraine. While that meeting took place in London, Vitaly Mutko, Russia’s minister of sports, tourism and youth, gave one of his periodic reassurances that everything is on target for 2018. It is closer than we may think. “The eyes of the footballing world will be on St. Petersburg on Saturday 25 July,” read a FIFA reminder last week that the World Cup preliminary draw is just months away.

Question: What would the new law help farmers do?

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: Who did Manning say took the higher road?

“He cried a little bit,” Manning said. “I didn’t think that was really necessary. I think Odell took the higher road, and I’m proud of him for that.” Manning later did a little trash talking, although in his typically subtle way. He credited Beckham for regaining his composure later in the game, and then Manning mentioned that the Panthers were in a zone defense for almost the entire game — except for when Beckham caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. “It was probably the only time Norman played Odell man-to-man, and Odell beat him.”

Question: Who plays the Dewey Finn character in the musical?

But thematically, Mr. Slater said, he could understand why Mr. Lloyd Webber might relate to the material. “Everyone has gone through some period where they felt like they needed to break out of a category they had been put in and find their own voice,” he said. “That’s really what this show is about.” The composition of the musical (in which Alex Brightman plays the Dewey Finn character) happened quickly, between June and December of 2014. Auditions for its school-aged characters were held at the start of this year, and over the summer, a series of test shows were held at the Gramercy Theater, a sticky-floored rock club in Midtown Manhattan. Plans for a Broadway transfer were already in place — an unusually aggressive trajectory for a musical that never had an out-of-town tryout.

Question: Which party had the best political momentum?

Answer: Republicans

<hl> Republicans showing the greatest political momentum in the poll were the three outsiders: Mr. Trump, who drew strong support from self-described moderates, people with family incomes of $50,000 or less, and those without a college degree; Mr. Carson, who edged out Mr. Trump among conservatives and wealthier voters and was much stronger among college graduates; and Carly Fiorina, a former business executive who had support from 4 percent of Republicans, an improvement over her trace amount in August. <hl>

Question: How much has the property value increased?

“It was a book this thick, but we were free,” joked Mr. Harschel, waving an imaginary building code volume. Mr. Olthuis noted that the house had been built following code for land houses, which, in keeping with a mandate to build greener houses in the Netherlands, stipulated triple-glazed windows, heavy insulation and even a heat exchanger to retain heat from effluent — something that most houseboats, which tend to be light houses on a heavy foundation, avoid. Mr. Harschel estimates that the couple spent 350,000 euros, or $380,000, to build the house (the lease for the lot is €600 a month), and guesses that the value of the property has probably more than doubled in the years since it was built.

Mr. Harschel estimates that the couple spent 350,000 euros, or $380,000, to build the house (the lease for the lot is €600 a month), and guesses that the value of the property has probably <hl> more than doubled <hl> in the years since it was built.

Question: did trump insult mccain?

And then Trump insulted John McCain, saying he was only a war hero because he got captured, adding, “I like people that weren’t captured, O.K.?” McCain spent five and a half years as a P.O.W. in Vietnam and was repeatedly tortured and had his bones broken. As CNN reported, “Trump, meanwhile, received four student deferments and one medical deferment to avoid serving in the Vietnam War.” What does it mean to impugn a man who has sacrificed so much for his country? It means you can smear anyone. Last week another redline was crossed. At a Trump town hall event, the first questioner began: “We got a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. We know he’s not even an American. But anyway. We have training camps brewing where they want to kill us. That’s my question. When can we get rid of them?”

Question: According to democrats, who would have a harder time voting if these proposals were passed?

The state House is again pushing forward with a Republican priority to require photo identification at the polls, after similar measures were stymied by the Senate or courts in recent years. The House gave initial approval Wednesday to put a constitutional amendment before voters in 2016 and also endorsed a bill that would institute the photo ID requirements if the constitutional amendment is approved. Both measures need a second House vote and also would have to pass the Senate, where Democrats have previously blocked proposed ID requirements. Supporters say the requirement is needed to ensure the integrity of elections. Democrats say it could make it harder for older people, minorities and women to vote, because they might have more difficulty getting the underlying documents such as birth certificates or marriage licenses that are needed to obtain an ID.

Question: When did the townhouse on Sackett Street burn to the ground?

Two of the men had each spent almost 33 years in prison on arson and murder charges, the longest time served by any defendant whose conviction has been vacated under Ken Thompson, the Brooklyn district attorney. The third defendant died in prison. Now 70 and 66, the surviving defendants, William Vasquez and Amaury Villalobos, stood in State Supreme Court in Brooklyn. Next to them stood the widow and daughter of the third defendant, Raymond Mora. His daughter, who was 7 when he died in prison in 1989, held up a photo of her father. “I don’t know how this case managed to proceed,” Assistant District Attorney Mark J. Hale, who oversees the Conviction Review Unit in the office, told Justice Matthew J. D’Emic as he asked him to vacate the men’s convictions. In February 1980, a townhouse at 695 Sackett Street burned to the ground. The third-floor tenants, a mother and her five young children, were killed.

Question: Who is the neurosurgeon that was preparing for the brain surgery?

Each time Ben Carson prepared to cut into a human brain, the neurosurgeon, who was the first to separate twins conjoined at the head, said a prayer. He would scrub his hands, close his eyes and ask for God’s help. “Lord, you be the neurosurgeon,” he has described himself thinking. “I’ll be the hands.” Since packing up his scalpel and becoming a Republican presidential candidate, Mr. Carson has not shied from talking about his Christian faith and sprinkling policy pronouncements with prayer as he travels the country talking to voters in his blunt but soft-spoken style. So far it has worked — he has overtaken Donald J. Trump in a new national poll of Republicans and is beating him in Iowa, the crucial caucus state. But Mr. Carson’s religion has been cast in a harsher light in recent days, as Mr. Trump, whose support among evangelicals is falling, suggested that the doctor is not a mainstream Christian because he is a member of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.

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 does Arcane law support?

Needles sits above one of those shallow bowls, a subterranean valley packed with porous gravel that is easily filled with water. And so a funny thing happens when Needles pumps its water from underground: No matter how much the city uses, the water level in the local groundwater wells never drops. Instead, water is sucked out of the Colorado River bed, underground, toward the wells, filling any subterranean void. Because the earth is especially porous along the Colorado, the water essentially spills out the river’s bottom, unseen, filling a geologic bathtub beneath Needles and its nearby terrain, and refilling the aquifer. There are lots of ways water in the West is being mismanaged: farming subsidies for water-intensive crops; arcane laws encouraging waste; leaky infrastructure. But none may be more significant than refusing to accept the fact that the West’s water resources are interconnected.

Question: how many days news conference before the concert?

The East German reporters, hoping to get a similar reaction, peppered him with questions about race relations upon his arrival. But he wouldn’t go there. Although his Iron Curtain tour was not State Department sponsored, one gets the sense that he didn’t want to bad-mouth America while in a communist country, that to do so in the middle of the Cold War would be disloyal somehow. At a news conference a few days before the concert — a clip of which was shown at the screening the other night — he sat grim-faced, smoking a cigarette, testily deflecting questions about how he was treated in the South.

Question: How old is Andrew Albany?

“Sometimes when you have a wholesale shift in the weather pattern it can persist for quite a while,” he said. “As we get to the end of this week, we’re going to see temperatures as cold or even colder.” Meteorologists and their families are not immune to the consequences. Mr. Morrin’s son-in-law, Andrew Albany, 28, was home with three children on Monday morning in south central New Jersey, putting in a load of laundry, when he realized the pipe to the washer was frozen. Putting the 1-year-old in the playpen, and the 3-year-old and 6-year-old in front of a Disney movie, he deployed a space heater to try to try to thaw the pipe, before heading to his 3 p.m. to midnight shift as a nurse. The children’s movie? Yes, he conceded, laughing, “It was ‘Frozen.’ ”

Question: Which industry, ironically produced economic and environmental improvements?

You would never know that in many parts of the world, like the United States, the rivers and skies are getting cleaner. The race for riches, ironically, produces the wealth that can be used to clean the environment. A few years ago, a team of researchers led by Daniel Esty of Yale looked at the environmental health of 150 countries. The nations with higher income per capita had better environmental ratings. As countries get richer they invest to tackle environmental problems that directly kill human beings (though they don’t necessarily tackle problems that despoil the natural commons). You would never suspect, from this encyclical, that over the last decade, one of the most castigated industries has, ironically, produced some of the most important economic and environmental gains. I’m talking of course about fracking.

Question: What did Daru refuse to do that Balducci required of him?

One day, a gendarme, Balducci (Vincent Martin), rides up on horseback to Daru’s schoolhouse with an Arab prisoner, Mohamed (Reda Kateb), on foot. Balducci explains that the prisoner, who’s never named in the Camus story, has cut the throat of a cousin (“like a sheep”) and now Daru needs to take Mohamed to another town for some French justice and certain death. Daru refuses, but when Balducci rides off, the teacher is left with Mohamed and a quandary. After giving Mohamed dinner and a bed, and after a restive night with a gun by his side, Daru wakes to tell Mohamed that he can leave of his own accord. This seems as if it should be an easy call, but Daru’s assumptions about free will don’t pan out. Mohamed refuses to flee.

Question: The drop in price for China's marble also reflected the drop in what?

Turkey has 40 percent of the world’s commercial marble reserves and has been by far the dominant supplier to China, where domestic marble tends to be heavily cracked and often an unattractive yellow. But the value and tonnage of China’s marble imports have plunged by nearly a third just in the past year, paralleling a steep drop in housing starts there. For Cekicler Marble in Eskisehir, that has meant closing three of the company’s nine marble quarries and laying off a third of the 450 workers. The company had designed for sale to China an automated production line that costs $550,000 and helps turn 25-ton blocks of Turkish marble into slim tiles. But after expecting to sell 10 a year, the company actually sold one last year and none this year, with leads for the sale of two next year.

Question: How many more wins do the Panthers need to tie their total wins from last year?

PICK: COLTS Panthers (3-0) at Buccaneers (1-2) 1 p.m. Line: Panthers by 3 The Panthers are undefeated despite playing most of the time without Luke Kuechly or Kelvin Benjamin. The team has rarely been associated with such perseverance, but Cam Newton has the Panthers just four wins short of the team’s division-leading total from last season. The team has endured another loss, with defensive end Charles Johnson sidelined, but a trade for Jared Allen should pay dividends soon even if he is limited this week.

Question: What disease did the city Health Department link the circumcisions to?

The department’s other decision was to abandon efforts to crack down on metzitzah b’peh, the ancient ritual of ultra-Orthodox Jews in which the circumciser, or mohel, sucks blood from a newly cut penis with his mouth. Public-health authorities, like the American Academy of Pediatrics, have long warned about the dangers of mohels infecting babies with the herpes virus, which can be deadly to infants. The city Health Department has linked metzitzah b’peh to more than a dozen infant herpes cases, and two deaths, since 2000. The Bloomberg administration tried to discourage the practice by requiring mohels to have parents sign a consent form acknowledging the risks. But mohels, citing religious freedom, refused to use the form. When Mr. de Blasio ran for office, he offered the politically powerful Orthodox community another approach. On Wednesday the Board of Health followed through: It voted to abandon consent forms in favor of education and friendly persuasion. It has a new brochure about the risks of metzitzah b’peh, to be given to pregnant women by clinics and hospitals. A small photo of herpes blisters helps parents recognize a symptom of infection.

Answer: herpes

The department’s other decision was to abandon efforts to crack down on metzitzah b’peh, the ancient ritual of ultra-Orthodox Jews in which the circumciser, or mohel, sucks blood from a newly cut penis with his mouth. <hl> Public-health authorities, like the American Academy of Pediatrics, have long warned about the dangers of mohels infecting babies with the herpes virus, which can be deadly to infants. <hl> The city Health Department has linked metzitzah b’peh to more than a dozen infant herpes cases, and two deaths, since 2000. The Bloomberg administration tried to discourage the practice by requiring mohels to have parents sign a consent form acknowledging the risks. But mohels, citing religious freedom, refused to use the form. When Mr. de Blasio ran for office, he offered the politically powerful Orthodox community another approach. On Wednesday the Board of Health followed through: It voted to abandon consent forms in favor of education and friendly persuasion.

Question: How many years did Mr. Ghani live in Washington?

Yet the shift in American plans is as much a result of the dire situation in Afghanistan as it is a broad lobbying effort by a powerful cross-section of the American foreign policy and national security establishment, including many of the dinner guests on Tuesday. In recent months, even as Mr. Obama has sought to draw an end to America’s role in Afghanistan’s war, a number of influential figures in Washington have pressed hard in public and in private to keep the United States involved. To help make their case, they repeatedly cited the election of Mr. Ghani, a Columbia graduate who lived in Washington for 15 years, as a central reason to stay in Afghanistan, despite the relative weakness of his government. Ahead of Tuesday’s meeting at the White House, for instance, a group of 23 former American ambassadors and senior officials released an open letter urging the United States to keep troops in Afghanistan.

Answer: 15

Question: How many migrants does Germany expect this year?

• Jobs for migrants. In Germany, which expects 800,000 migrants this year alone, Chancellor Angela Merkel and big business are mounting a vocal campaign to get the new arrivals into jobs quickly. In Spain, a Syrian who was tripped last week by a Hungarian journalist was offered a job by a soccer school in Madrid. But the migrant crisis, complicated by the clash between national interests and Europewide policies, continues unabated.

Question: Where was Ms MacKinnon speaking from before returning to rehearsal?

She might have been talking about herself. Though conscious of her considerable gifts as an actor — she’s so able to project emotion that her face can seem almost see-through — Ms. Moss still confesses to “major moments” where she thinks: “I can’t believe they asked me to do this, they’re crazy. This is all a mistake.” Pam MacKinnon, the play’s director and a Tony winner for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” disagreed. Speaking backstage as she prepared to return to rehearsal, she said that Ms. Moss had both the vulnerability and the sharpness that the role demands. “She’s incredibly intuitive, incredibly smart, and she is sort of an observer, even though she’s at the center of this rehearsal process,” Ms. MacKinnon said.

Question: Which critic often showed up drunk to performances?

Parody ages fast, as its targets drop from public view. So do reviews of long-forgotten plays and movies. Gibbs was a critic temperamentally, not just when he was at the theater. Dour, melancholic, he was considered impossible to please. He committed offenses against basic fairness by showing up drunk to performances or leaving well before they ended. The reviews he wrote are undeniably droll. Many can be found, along with his short stories, Talk of the Town pieces and other occasional work in a 2011 collection of his New Yorker writings called “Backward Ran Sentences” (the title is pulled from the Time parody), edited by Thomas Vinciguerra. Page after page of lively, witty, lean prose demonstrates why Gibbs was so appealing to readers. He took down pretensions and uncannily mimicked the great voices of his era. His critique of film reviewers’ lazy vocabulary (“luminous,” “taut,” “haunting”) still stands as a rebuke today (and can equally be applied to book reviewers). Gibbs did in fact respond to quality in the theater, writing at least partial appreciations of “A Streetcar Named Desire,” “Death of a Salesman” and “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” although he despised “Waiting for Godot.” While his praise was far rarer than his condemnation, one can’t help feeling affection for a critic who sent the following form reply to readers who wrote in to quarrel with his views: “Dear Sir [or Madam]: You may be right. Sincerely, Wolcott Gibbs.”

Question: What did the manager off to send them?

Our server pushed the $56 Lobster Maxime, calling it a signature entree and promising meat out of the shell from a one-and-a-half-pound lobster. What arrived, however — four morsels on a mound of sautéed spinach — was minuscule at best. To Orama’s credit, when I inquired about the skimpy portion, the manager offered to send us another dish with her compliments. The sea bass turned out to be the only worthwhile entree that evening. A 16-ounce bone-in filet mignon, one of Orama’s specialties, had too much visible fat to justify the $64 cost, and the rack of lamb special, while tender, lacked flavor.

Question: What has the Obama administration never publicly blamed on China?

During Mr. Xi’s visit to Washington, he and Mr. Obama are expected to announce, at a minimum, that they are working on a set of rules for cyberspace that would amount to a first effort at a digital arms control agreement. But that would not cover traditional espionage, which both sides conduct against each other. So the theft of personnel files, which the administration has never publicly blamed on China, would not be covered. In fact, the director of national intelligence, James R. Clapper Jr., said over the summer that if the United States had the opportunity to steal that much data about an adversary, it would probably try to do it. And testifying to Congress alongside Admiral Rogers recently, he pushed back at members of Congress who called the breach at O.P.M. an “attack.” Instead, he suggested, it was ordinary espionage. But despite those public statements, several officials have said in background briefings that the scale of the breach was so vast that it might require some kind of government response. Hackers did not just get the data on federal employees, but also on job applicants, contractors and many others who have been subjected to government background checks.

Question: The foundation choose who to be in charge of the exhibit?

Ms. Chalabi, a daughter of Ahmad Chalabi, the onetime United States-backed Iraqi opposition leader, said her foundation asked to represent Iraq again after organizing the last pavilion, in 2013. The government gave approval and curatorial “carte blanche,” she said, but no money. The foundation chose Philippe Van Cauteren, artistic director of the S.M.A.K. contemporary art museum in Ghent, Belgium, to put together the exhibition, and funded it with 600,000 euros (about $675,000) from private Iraqi companies and individuals.

Question: Who is Russell Brand?

LONDON — In one of the more bizarre moments of a tight British election campaign, the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, went in the dead of night Monday to the apartment of Russell Brand, a bawdy comedian, to give him an interview, which was posted Wednesday on YouTube. Mr. Brand, who is also known for his expletive-filled rants against politics and politicians, has publicly urged Britons not to vote at all. But he is popular with young people, and Mr. Miliband in a tight race needs every vote he can get to become prime minister after the May 7 election.

Question: What was Tiziano Terzani's occupation?

CAMBRIDGE, England — THE light was fading on the hills above the Arno, and my closest friend in the careworn ranks of foreign correspondents was sitting cross-legged on a canopied Chinese daybed, in a lovely old tree-shaded house in his native village, a brisk walk from the heart of Florence. His name was Tiziano Terzani, one of Italy’s most celebrated writers, and on that weekend, a decade ago, he was host with his wife, Angela, for the marriage of their daughter in a soaring renaissance basilica in Florence.

Question: What idea does Leive say is not true?

I think everybody does better if they really like some aspect of what they’re doing, but work is work. We can’t all work in jobs where we feel like our heart is singing every day. There’s that old expression, “If work was that great, the rich would keep it for themselves.” The idea that your job is going to make your heart sing on a daily basis is just not true. If that’s the expectation of a 25-year-old today, they’re going to be sorely disappointed. But you can aim for a pretty good heart-singing-to-bummed-out ratio.
