Question: Who did George H.W. Bush depend on to handle the negative work in his administration?

Ron Kaufman, who served in the first President Bush’s administration and is a longtime friend of the family, said Jeb Bush in particular was more of a serious-minded policy aficionado than a political fighter. “He’d much rather talk policy, and he’s just not a guy who’s ever been one who likes to be on the attack,” Mr. Kaufman said. In addition to his ill-fated assault on Mr. Rubio, Mr. Bush failed to fully deliver a debate salvo against Donald J. Trump that his campaign had similarly ordered up. Standing onstage in Simi Valley, Calif., Mr. Bush called on Mr. Trump to apologize for inserting Mr. Bush’s wife, Columba, who was born in Mexico, in the immigration debate. Mr. Trump called her “a lovely woman,” but refused to apologize. Nonetheless, the Bushes — a clan as competitive as it is genteel — have also proved willing to go negative when necessary, if not directly then at least by letting those in their orbit play rough. Mr. Bush’s father relied on Lee Atwater, who in a memoir nicknamed himself the “bad boy” of American politics, and his brother often delegated his unsavory tasks to Karl Rove.

Question: What accent did the author's mother had?

My mother loved shrimp. She had no qualms about where her shrimp came from, if they were fresh or frozen, large or small. She would eat them in a grimy airport cafe or a five-star restaurant. And when she was done with her crustaceans, she always beamed a big smile and, in her posh British accent, said, “Oh, that was just lovely.” My mother was the one who taught me how to cook shrimp — and everything else. (When I was really young, I was allowed to lick the leftover chocolate cake icing out of the bowl when I helped in the kitchen.) So I jumped at the chance to become her personal chef for the last two weeks of her life.

Question: Spice is sometimes legally marketed as potpourri or what else?

Although the use of spice has decreased in recent years, according to some surveys, the drug continues to be sold by street dealers, as well as openly on the Internet and at smoke shops and other retailers, as potpourri or incense with brand names like Scooby Snax and Black Diamond. Spice’s health effects have been underscored in recent months by a surge in emergency room visits and calls to poison centers, for symptoms that can include extreme anxiety, violent behavior and delusions. Intermittent reports from several states suggest that at least 1,000 Americans have died since 2009 after smoking spice. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not track national data for spice or other synthetic drugs, including those popularly known as bath salts or flakka.

Question: What day of the week did Federica Mogherini hold a news conference?

“I see no reason to delay,” said Linas Linkevicius, the foreign minister of Lithuania. He noted that a cease-fire, known as the Minsk agreement, between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatist rebels had not yet been fully carried out. “If we don’t see real progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreement, then we need to go further,” said Didier Reynders, the Belgian foreign minister. “Without that, we need to prolong the sanctions.” Federica Mogherini, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, told reporters at a news conference on Monday that the union could reach a political decision as soon as Thursday at the summit meeting here. “The general assessment today was clearly going in the direction of the rollover of sanctions,” she said.

Question: what did Flanagan think about the upcoming event?

Deba’s 2:19:59 last year was 62 seconds behind Jeptoo’s course record and also beat the old mark. In all, nine women in the 2015 field have personal bests of 2:22:38 or better. “This is a field with a lot of women who have the same capabilities,” Flanagan said. “It will be exciting.”

Question: What should the coach consider doing to Tom Brady in light of his injured offensive line?

Equally problematic for the Patriots, their banged-up offensive line cannot seem to block anyone and now must keep J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney off quarterback Tom Brady. Perhaps Coach Bill Belichick should consider sitting Brady for his own protection and concede this one. This game will also see the longtime Patriots defensive anchor Vince Wilfork lining up against his former team for the first time. To hear Wilfork talk about it, Sunday’s game is likely to be a bit bittersweet for him, to say the least. “I never thought that, in my whole career, I’d be playing in something other than a Patriots helmet, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, and it did,” Wilfork said during the week. “I will always love Bill Belichick, that organization, the teammates, the fans. I will always have my love for those guys because of the 11 great years we had up there.” PICK: Texans

Question: Who announced they were buying EMC?

In addition, from all the cloud companies 80 percent of every new major purchase is for a more powerful chip. The newer and more powerful chips tend to have even higher profit margins, and also spur Intel to develop new things faster. Last week Amazon announced it would soon have Intel’s most powerful chip available in its cloud. The changes come while Intel’s traditional customers undergo their own radical changes. On Monday Dell, a big maker of servers and PCs, announced it was buying the data storage giant EMC. On Nov. 2, the server and storage businesses of Hewlett-Packard will split off from its PC business, in what top executives hope is a move for a faster-moving business.

Question: What does McConnell say he stands on?

Democrats also say that Mr. McConnell benefited from the pent-up demand he helped create by bottling up so much legislation as the leader of the minority. Undaunted, he points to the list of bills and the much more frequent votes on amendments — more than 200 this year, compared with 15 in 2014 — as irrefutable evidence of his success. “I stand on the facts,” said Mr. McConnell, who said his main strategic decision was to find issues that both sides could compromise on, rather than digging in for partisan disputes where common ground could never be found.

Question: What could the deal cause to become more reliable?

If the deal is a political earthquake for Greece, it also puts the country on course for a major economic shake-up. It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make.

Question: How old was Mr. Sverstiuk when he died?

“He acted more like a prosecutor than a defense lawyer,” Yevhen Sverstiuk, an essayist and author who knew Mr. Stus, said in an interview last year. Mr. Sverstiuk, who himself spent seven years as a political prisoner in Soviet labor camps and five years in exile in Siberia, died in December at 86. He had recently served as president of the Ukrainian PEN Center, a chapter of the international writers’ association. “A man with such a past cannot be a public figure,” Mr. Sverstiuk said of Mr. Medvedchuk in the interview, adding: “In short, he is a sinister character. This is an evil name.”

Question: Where did Mr. Obama give his speech?

“Let’s not mince words: The choice we face is ultimately between diplomacy and some form of war — maybe not tomorrow, maybe not three months from now, but soon,” Mr. Obama told about 200 people in a speech at American University. “How can we in good conscience justify war before we’ve tested a diplomatic agreement that achieves our objectives?” Mr. Obama, opening a new, more overtly political phase of his public campaign for the accord, portrayed the coming vote in Congress to approve or reject the deal as the most consequential foreign policy decision for lawmakers since Congress voted in 2003 to authorize the invasion of Iraq. He implored them to “shut out the noise” and back the deal.

Question: What are the first few digits of pi?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: what was the taliban tradition when they raided a village?

“The militias also beat and kill people; they ask for a share,” Mr. Qul said. “They have taken up weapons to bring security, but they are doing the looting themselves.” A senior security official acknowledged that the militias were harassing the locals, but said they had been warned “not to touch people’s property.” “It was a tradition here: when the Taliban raided a village, they would loot and burn houses,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the trouble. “And when the government took back the area, the militias would do the same, they would be so happy to come with us on the operation.”

Question: Who was making serious implications on Dostum's territory?

ALMAR, Afghanistan —  At first, Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum tried to get help from his own government, lobbying the National Security Council to intervene as a Taliban offensive began making serious inroads on his home territory, a once relatively quiet northern region of Afghanistan. But after months of mostly fruitless pleading, Mr. Dostum — a feared former warlord who had brutally fought the Taliban and also provoked some of the worst excesses of the long Afghan civil war — turned back to his roots. Activating a collection of private militias in addition to some Afghan police and army units, he went charging up north in July.

Question: what is Philippe Dauman's title?

In the suit, filed last week, Manuela Herzer, who once had a romantic relationship with Mr. Redstone, said that he had been unable to “communicate reliably or competently manage his own health care” for weeks. The petition specifically asked that the court decide whether Ms. Herzer was improperly removed on Oct. 16 from control of an advanced health care directive that put her in charge of his health decisions. Philippe Dauman, the chief executive of Viacom, has since been put in control of Mr. Redstone’s medical care. The petition included personal details, including claims that Mr. Redstone is incontinent, requires suctioning to remove phlegm up to 20 times day, is “obsessed with eating steak” even while on a feeding tube, and “demands, to the extent he can be understood, to engage in sexual activity every day.”

Answer: chief executive of Viacom

In the suit, filed last week, Manuela Herzer, who once had a romantic relationship with Mr. Redstone, said that he had been unable to “communicate reliably or competently manage his own health care” for weeks. The petition specifically asked that the court decide whether Ms. Herzer was improperly removed on Oct. 16 from control of an advanced health care directive that put her in charge of his health decisions. <hl> Philippe Dauman, the chief executive of Viacom , has since been put in control of Mr. Redstone’s medical care. <hl> The petition included personal details, including claims that Mr. Redstone is incontinent, requires suctioning to remove phlegm up to 20 times day, is “obsessed with eating steak” even while on a feeding tube, and “demands, to the extent he can be understood, to engage in sexual activity every day.”

Question: What is the name of the president of Planned Parenthood?

Monday’s development, which set no precedent, did not affect the validity of any law aside from North Carolina’s. The health care providers who challenged the North Carolina law urged the justices to turn down the state’s appeal. “The state requires physicians to recite the state’s message even when the patient physically avoids seeing or hearing it,” their brief said. “That is farce, not informed consent, and it demonstrates beyond any doubt that the requirement is an impermissible attempt to use physicians to spread the state’s ideological message.” Abortion rights groups welcomed the Supreme Court’s action. “This misguided law would have inserted politics and bad medicine into every exam room in North Carolina,” Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement.

Question: How would he feel about attending a gay wedding?

First, these issues are difficult and personal, and I don’t presume that my approach is always right. Second, details matter. My closest gay friends are fairly secular. But I would be uncomfortable attending same-sex vows in the style of a Catholic mass — or being hired to photograph such a ceremony. I don’t think that discomfort should be grounds for shutting down a business. Well, that discomfort may seem religious, but segregationists felt justified by scripture too. They got over it; their churches got over it; so will yours.

Question: who was comforting Mr. Saleh?

Instead, the film’s emotional climax comes as Mr. Homsi himself reaches Istanbul, released from captivity and torture by the Islamic State. He and Mr. Saleh, ask themselves if their revolution is to blame for the Islamists’ rise, and their country’s destruction. Mr. Homsi tries to reassure Mr. Saleh that he was right to flee, saying an older man would break if arrested by jihadists or the secret police, especially a man so “pure inside.” Mr. Saleh covers his eyes; a muscle in his jaw twitches. “That’s what you think,” he says.

Question: Who will Mr. Cameron be under increased pressure from, to "revist the question of independence from Scotland?"

Those start with his pledge to hold a referendum by the end of 2017 on Britain’s continued membership in the European Union. He will also be under increased pressure from the other big winner of the election, the Scottish National Party, to revisit the question of independence for Scotland. “A small majority can quickly turn into a bed of nails,” said Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator magazine. Backbenchers in Mr. Cameron’s own party, many of them farther to the right than he is on questions of immigration and Britain’s membership in the European Union, “will be his real opposition,” Mr. Nelson said.

Question: By home much did Bank of America overstate it's capital by?

Bank of America’s slip-up will most likely raise new questions about its ability to comply with new regulations that are intended to make the financial system safer. Bank of America passed the stress test last year and gained approval for its plan to make payouts to shareholders. But a few weeks after passing, the bank discovered errors that had led it to overstate its capital by $4 billion. The mistakes prompted the Fed to tell the bank to suspend its share buybacks and an increase in its dividend.

Question: Where has the diva returned to?

‘Fancy Nancy the Musical’  (Saturday and Sunday) One of the arts’ youngest divas has returned to the McGinn/Cazale Theater. This musical from Vital Theater Company focuses on a little girl who wants everything to be fancy — especially herself. Based on the book series written by Jane O’Connor and illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser, the production explores the predicament that ensues when Nancy finds out that she hasn’t been cast as the glamorous mermaid she’d hoped to be in the coming dance show. With a book by Susan DiLallo, a score by Danny Abosch, and lyrics by both, the musical humorously follows Nancy’s attempts to cope with a most unfancy role: that of a tree. (Through April 5.) At 1:30 p.m., 2162 Broadway, at 76th Street, fourth floor, 212-579-0528, vitaltheatre.org.

Question: How does the author describe his level of consciousness during the experience?

As he tells it in his book “Roads of Excess, Palaces of Wisdom,” something happened one evening: “Although my body was asleep, resting almost anesthetized on its back, not unlike a corpse, consciousness was lucid and clear, fully awake. Suddenly, without warning, a powerful electric-like energy flooded the body with wave after wave.” Mr. Kripal does not take the imagination to be an electrical byproduct of some naturalist process. He takes it to be capable of more, to be real in a more complicated way.

Question: When did the interview with Mr. Yu take place?

In an interview last month, he described weeks of abuse, including sleep deprivation and being tied to a metal chair for hours during questioning. At the time, he said, his interrogators wanted him to confess to having encouraged the pro-democracy demonstrations that shook Hong Kong last year. Mr. Yu said he refused to concede to their demands, and he was later released without charge. He said the police warned him, however, against speaking about his time in custody.

Question: Which is not only analysis the tone and the rhythm of music but also engages procedural memory ?

While I often mishear words, I seldom mishear music: notes, melodies, harmonies, phrasings remain as clear and rich as they have been all my life (though I often mishear lyrics). There is clearly something about the way the brain processes music that makes it robust, even in the face of imperfect hearing; and, conversely, something about the nature of spoken language that makes it much more vulnerable to deficiencies or distortions. Playing or even hearing music (at least traditional scored music) involves not just the analysis of tone and rhythm — it also engages one’s procedural memory and emotional centers in the brain; musical pieces are held in memory and allow anticipation.

Question: What did the sign-up sheets say?

GS: No. I tried to get a much less prestigious job, at Time magazine. And they made it very clear that women researched, and men wrote. No exceptions, in spite of Clare Boothe Luce. PG: You remind me of my grandmother’s line: Rejection is the best thing that can happen. It pushes us. There might not be a Ms. magazine or Notorious R.B.G. without it.

Question: If not issues of identity, what type of issues are they?

I think they should be able to decline service for various reasons, religious scruples included. A liberal printer shouldn’t be forced to print tracts for a right-wing cause. A Jewish deli shouldn’t be required to cater events for the Nation of Islam. But those are issues of belief, not identity. Denying service to gays is like denying service to blacks under Jim Crow.

Question: How many democrats would support Clinton?

“I like Ben Carson because he’s not government, and I’m tired of government,” said Doug May, 70, a retired chief information officer in Bluffton, S.C. Mr. May added, referring to the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin: “What worries me the most about Donald Trump is what he would do if put into a situation where he is sitting down with Putin. With his mouth, I have no idea what he would say to people.” Democratic voters seem more enthusiastic about Mrs. Clinton as the party’s possible nominee than Republicans do about Mr. Trump. Forty-eight percent of Democrats said they would support her enthusiastically, and 35 percent of Republicans said the same of Mr. Trump.

Question: Aside from Unilever brands, what other recognizable tea brands began certifying their tea leaves?

Unilever’s sustainability measures can have ripple effects. The Rainforest Alliance, which has been certifying farmers in the developing world for decades, now certifies the chocolate for Magnum ice cream bars, the vanilla in Breyers ice cream, and the leaves in Lipton tea bags.

Question: What does Leive think everybody does better if?

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.

Businesses of all sorts have an incentive to charge different prices to different consumers based on their willingness and ability to pay. Movie theaters, for example, charge children less than adults for a ticket. Colleges have increasingly followed this practice by raising published prices and offering more financial aid based on a family’s resources. I often joke that Harvard should complete the process by setting tuition at $1 billion a year. But that sticker price applies only to the children of Bill Gates. Everyone else gets a special price, just for you.

Question: What team did he throw the pitches against to get to his record?

LOS ANGELES —  Clayton Kershaw went to the mound on Sunday needing to strike out six batters to reach 300 for the season, something no major league pitcher had done in 13 years. With the first round of the postseason against the Mets looming, he wasn’t going to stick around very long. Maybe a couple of innings or so, just enough to stay sharp, even if he didn’t remain long enough to get to 300. And yet he did get there, striking out seven San Diego Padres in just three and two-thirds innings, and getting two standing ovations from Dodgers fans along the way. In the end, he finished the 2015 regular season with a 16-7 record, a 2.13 E.R.A., a WHIP of 0.88 and a strikeout total of 301, a nice exclamation point for a pitcher who has already won three Cy Young Awards and a Most Valuable Player trophy.

Question: Who is the president of the European Central Bank?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.

Question: What is Alberto Melloni director of?

“It clearly states that salvation doesn’t come from the Jews’ conversion, but it’s very respectful of their own mission,” said Alberto Melloni, the director of a liberal Catholic research institution, the John XXIII Foundation for Religious Studies in Bologna. He called the message “a courageous and important written document of the Catholic Church.” Coming 50 years after the Vatican formally repudiated the idea of collective Jewish guilt for Jesus’ death, the document emphasized the tight and inescapable link between Christianity and Judaism. “A Christian can never be an anti-Semite, especially because of the Jewish roots of Christianity,” it stated. Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Vatican Commission, said on Thursday that the church’s dialogue with Jews was not just interreligious, but “intrareligious, or intrafamiliar.” Jewish leaders praised the document and the way that Catholic-Jewish relations had progressed.

Question: What as Leonard Lauder the former CEO of?

I always ask people why they want the job. There’s not one right answer, but I want to see that there is a reason. Years ago, Leonard Lauder [the former C.E.O. of the Estée Lauder Companies] told me that somebody needs to ask for the job, to say something along the lines of: “I really want this position. I think I could do something great with it, and I’d be so excited to join your team. What else can I do to convince you?” If they haven’t said that, then they haven’t gone far enough. I’m always pleased when somebody does that.

Question: When did Tiziano issue a challenge

We were both imprisoned in China, on charges officials there later acknowledged to have been false, and we both shared, at the same time in the 1990s, the same cancer — non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma — and the same oncologist in New York. Now the wheel has turned, and the time has come to begin meeting the challenge Tiziano issued on that Florentine afternoon, after some familiar chatter among his guests: how far each of us had traveled, the wonders and miseries we’d chronicled, and the most fascinating, or cruel, dictators and rulers through whose realms we’d passed. It was a fine thing, Tiziano said, to have accumulated all those visas and passport stamps, all those exotic datelines, all those Saddam Hussein puppets and Little Red Books of Mao’s wisdom, all those richly seasoned tales of derring-do.

Question: Did women have a warning for Viagra?

That is in sharp contrast to the introduction of Pfizer’s Viagra, the so-called little blue pill aimed at treating erectile dysfunction in men. Viagra was a blockbuster from the start in 1998 and last year Pfizer sold nearly $1.7 billion of it. With financial help from Sprout, women’s groups and other supporters started a campaign to win F.D.A. approval for Addyi, noting that the agency had approved comparable treatments for men. Sprout’s effort succeeded but the F.D.A.’s approval came with a boxed warning, alerting patients not to take the drug with alcohol. Women with impaired liver function were also advised not to take it. Ms. Whitehead will continue to consult with Valeant and Sprout executives after her departure, according to the statement from Valeant.

Question: What was the name of the second educator?

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Two educators at a prestigious international school in Indonesia were freed from prison on Friday after an appeals court overturned their convictions and 10-year prison sentences on charges of sexually assaulting kindergartners, in a case that the school said was fabricated and that led to international concern about the competence of the country’s judicial system. “We are relieved and grateful that justice can finally prevail,” one of the pair, Ferdinand Tjiong, told reporters as he and the other, Neil Bantleman, were mobbed by a throng of journalists and supporters after walking through the gates of Cipinang Penitentiary in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital. “This should be a lesson to all of us that we should keep fighting for justice and the innocent,” Mr. Tjiong said.

Question: How good of a bonus does the person get?

The message is that you recognize a problem and how to fix it — and that it’s in everyone’s interest to do so. I’m actively looking for a new job. I’m well connected within my field, good at what I do and have excellent references. I have already turned down one offer that was good but not the right next step for me. I’m confident that something better will pop up soon. However, we’re approaching the end of the year, and my organization hands out modest, but not insignificant, performance bonuses. What’s the optimal timing to leave but still collect my bonus? If I line up a position that starts in early January, can I still request a bonus for the (very good) work I’ve done this year? WASHINGTON
