Question: Which daughter has Mrs. Obama been allowing to outdress her?

Her shrewdly calibrated allure, which easily rivaled that of any first lady in recent memory, suggests that Mrs. Obama has embraced an enviable position at the intersection of pop culture and politics — just because she can. With her time in the White House about to expire, Mrs. Obama — who has flirted in the past with fashion’s cutting edge, igniting flurries of debate with her bangs and bare, gym-toned arms — has irrevocably pulled out the stops. Of late, Mrs. Obama seemed to have largely ceded much of fashion’s spotlight to her 17-year-old daughter, Malia, a style setter to any number of fashion besotted girls her age. But the first lady has snatched back the focus, permitting herself to dazzle in a dress that clung to her hips like cellophane and showed a nervy hint of cleavage. (It was also in sharp contrast to the two outfits she wore to meet Pope Francis earlier in the week: one a demure cowl-neck, turquoise Carolina Herrera dress, the other a black, lacy, but equally modest Monique Lhuillier.)

Question: How old is Nadal?

Rafael Nadal expressed a similar sentiment. “Being young or not, I think, is not an excuse at all,” Nadal, 29, said of the 20-year-old Kyrgios. “I have been 16 when I arrived to this tour. A lot of top players that are there arrived at younger ages than some of them that are there.” He added: “The real thing is, when we are on court and we are saying things outside of court, we are in front of the cameras, in front of the audience. And the most important thing: We are in front of kids. Our sport is a gentleman’s sport. It’s a sport about respect.”

Question: Who was the Mississippi state epidemiologist?

JACKSON, Miss. —  The Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III, stood in a crowded room at the State Capitol this week and waited for a legislative verdict on the law that fostered what he regards as a public health triumph in a place that has few of them: the country’s highest immunization rate among kindergarten students. But in recent weeks, the nearly unbending nature of Mississippi’s law requiring students to be vaccinated has been in jeopardy, with two dozen lawmakers publicly supporting an exemption for “conscientious beliefs.” The debate, coming as other states grappled with a measles outbreak, turned Mississippi into one more battleground between medical experts who champion vaccinations and parents who fear the government’s role in medical decision-making.

Question: What nationality is Xavier Gabriel?

Because of an editing error, an article on Dec. 20 about Xavier Gabriel, a Spaniard whose lottery business has become a national emblem of luck and a formidable merchandising brand, misstated, in some editions, the timing of the crash of the Virgin Galactic space plane, on which Mr. Gabriel has booked a $200,000 seat. The crash was last year, not in July. The Times welcomes comments and suggestions, or complaints about errors that warrant correction.

Question: What does the author say to the woman he pulls close to him?

“It isn’t him, though,” I said gently. “I was mistaken.” I immediately regretted saying anything. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. She nestled into me, her head still turned in his direction. I longed to give her the world. The man packed up his minivan and drove off, and my alternate reality went right along with him. We climbed into the car and I pulled out. All the talks my daughter and I had had over the years about her father’s absence swirled around us, filling the car like plumes of smoke from a freshly lit fire. I had always chosen my words carefully, conscious that one person’s perception can so easily be woven into another person’s foundation, forever obscuring an impartial truth.

Question: In what year was the begging of Hippie Modernism?

If you think bell bottoms and beads were the beginning and end of 1960s countercultural design, “Hippie Modernism: The Struggle for Utopia” at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis has news.

Question: How many of Iran's cities are considered some of the most polluted in the world?

Iran is in the grip of a seven-year drought that shows no sign of breaking and that, many experts believe, may be the new normal. Even a return to past rainfall levels might not be enough to head off a nationwide water crisis, since the country has already consumed 70 percent of its groundwater supplies over the past 50 years. Always arid, Iran is facing desertification as lakes and rivers dry up and once-fertile plains become barren. According to the United Nations, Iran is home to four of the 10 most polluted cities in the world, with dust and desertification among the leading causes.

Question: Jean Pisani-Ferry serves as a policy adviser to what government?

Mr. Draghi reiterated that the E.C.B. does not try to achieve a certain exchange rate for the euro. The recent decline in the euro, he said, is “a natural outcome of diverging monetary policy path in the U.S. and the euro area. Markets expect a less accommodative monetary policy in the United States. This contributes to a stronger dollar.” Mr. Draghi and other top E.C.B. officials appear to be preparing financial markets for stronger action to combat low inflation. “Low inflation is already a serious obstacle to economic recovery and rebalancing within the eurozone,” Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist who serves as a policy adviser to the French government, wrote in a blog post this week. “Outright deflation would be an even more dangerous threat.”

Question: What is the unfolding of the characters compared to by the reviewer?

Having gotten to know these people and watched their undoing as if it were a slow-motion car accident, we long for a happy ending. There can be second acts in seemingly broken marriages. (Read Jenny Offill’s “Dept. of Speculation” for a recent literary example.) But in a daring interim chapter called “That Year and Those That Followed,” Ms. Pierpont widens her lens, temporarily abandoning her pointillistic moment-by-moment descriptions for a panoramic shot that sweeps years into paragraphs, projecting far out into the Shanleys’ future. It has the leaden sting of inevitability and cannot help dampening what is still to come. The die is cast, she seems to be saying. There is no going back.

Question: What notion is at the center of the story?

With paintings, antiquities, historic garments, weapons, sculpture and porcelain, “Alexander, Napoleon and Josephine” tells a story that spans from 1807 to 1815, beginning with the friendship between Czar Alexander and Napoleon and ending with their estrangement. At the center of the exhibition is the notion that Josephine linked the two military rivals to create a kind of romantic and political triad, thanks to her cultivation, sophistication and diplomatic skills, which enhanced the status of both emperors.

Question: For how long does Mr. Sharif believe the area will continue to thrive?

He blamed the government for keeping energy and water prices low, saying that he paid only $270 a month for his electricity bill, covering his huge pump and 20 employees. “It’s ridiculous,” he said. “And while we have no water, its price is also dirt cheap.” His investment has paid off, Mr. Sharif, 44, acknowledged. “I have bought myself another 15 years,” he said as he walked among freshly picked pistachio trees. That is just enough to last to his retirement. “After that,” he said, “this place, like everything else here, is done for.”

Question: Whose speech was Josh Weeks in the audience for?

“Without these unions in the state, you’re not going to make what you should,” said Josh Weeks, a union carpenter from Meta, Mo., who was in the audience for Mr. Nixon’s speech. “In my opinion, if you want to be in a right-to-work state, you should move to one.” The override effort will hinge on whether supporters of the legislation can persuade enough Republicans who sided with the unions during the regular session to join their cause. Two-thirds majorities are needed in both chambers to overturn Mr. Nixon’s veto. The House vote in May fell 17 votes short of that mark.

Question: What did Mr. Holder sketch for The Wiz?

Before going upstairs, don’t miss Mr. Holder’s two Tony Awards on the opposite wall. Then head to the final leg of the exhibition, which is mostly about the show behind those Tonys: “The Wiz.” You’ll find Mr. Holder’s sketches for the costumes, as well as photos from rehearsals and the costume for the lead character, Dorothy. For anyone planning to catch SummerStage’s free performances of “The Wiz: A Celebration in Dance and Music,” from Aug. 12-14, the collection is a good warm-up that may leave you whistling “Ease on Down the Road.” (Through Aug. 29 at 40 Lincoln Center Plaza; 917-275-6975; nypl.org.)

Question: From whom the man was asking for help?

His company submitted three ads as part of its protection-themed campaign: the couple touching amid moving boxes, a father clad in industrial goggles changing a diaper, and a man pleading for help from the Mafia. He moved forward with the other two. The authority reviewed its standards after the request by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office last year. While it did not result in a formal policy change, officials have worked with advertisers to “come up with a compelling advertising message in a somewhat less explicit way,” Adam Lisberg, a spokesman for the agency, said, adding a comment over the cleavage controversy The News brought about.

Question: How is water carried to the iron mine?

Just over 50 miles north, in the city of Sirjan, decisions long postponed have begun to impose themselves on local officials, forcing them to make difficult choices in allocating scarce water supplies. Wedged between two newly built neighborhoods of five-story apartment buildings, a convoy of water trucks waited in line to fill their 5,000-gallon tanks. Under a deal with the local water management company, up to 400 of these trucks a day draw water from the city’s main well and head to the Golgohar iron mine, the largest such mine in the Middle East. It employs over 7,000 people, many of them from Sirjan, and a water shortage has compounded an already difficult situation brought on by collapsing iron ore prices. “It is internationally unprecedented to carry water with tankers, but we have no other way,” Naser Taghizadeh, chief executive of the Golgohar Iron Ore Company, told the local Negarestan news outlet. “If water is not taken to the complex, projects are stopped, and many people will lose their jobs.”

Question: Does the IRS ever initiate contact via email?

■ How can I reduce my risk of tax-refund fraud? If you filed your federal taxes last year from Florida, Georgia or the District of Columbia, which are considered high-risk areas for tax-related identity theft, you can apply for the federal PIN under an I.R.S. pilot program even if you haven’t been a victim. Otherwise, Haywood Talcove, chief executive of LexisNexis Government, advises filing your tax return as soon as possible to reduce the chance that a thief will file a fake return in your name first; changing the username and password you use for your online tax filing program is a good idea too, he added. Also, be aware that the I.R.S. doesn’t initiate contact by email; so any such message is likely fraudulent, and recipients shouldn’t divulge any information in response, said Doug Shadel, an expert with AARP Fraud Watch Network. ■ How can I protect sensitive information like my Social Security number?

Question: What was the on time rate 3 years prior?

Nearly 1,000 Long Island Rail Road trains have been held up this year because of problems or congestion in the short section of track they share with Amtrak at Penn Station. That is partly because Amtrak trains, which generally have priority, have been later arriving at their destinations in recent years, according to Amtrak’s own statistics. From October 2014 to May 2015, the most recent data available, Amtrak trains along the Northeast Corridor reported a 76 percent on-time rate, down from 89 percent in the comparable period three years ago. In Baltimore, Monica Harris Susel, 48, had planned to take an Amtrak train to her job in Washington on Friday morning only to learn of a 25-minute delay at Baltimore’s Penn Station. She decided to take a 7:40 a.m. commuter train instead.

Question: Who is actively play as a pitcher?

The active leader among pitchers is Yovani Gallardo, with 12. Gallardo, 29, was traded before the season from the Brewers to the Rangers in the American League, so his opportunities to add to that total will be limited.

Question: Is Towns willing to share details of what Garnett is teaching him?

His education has continued with the Timberwolves, who commissioned Kevin Garnett to act as Towns’s mentor. It was viewed as a gamble — Garnett can be abrasive — but he has embraced Towns and the team’s young core. After a recent practice, Garnett remained behind to counsel Andrew Wiggins on post moves for at least a half-hour. Towns has attached himself to Garnett as much as possible. “Talking, watching, learning,” Towns said. “It’s an all-day thing.” He has mimicked Garnett’s preparation, going so far as to shoot additional baskets after he lifts weights in hope of building his muscle memory. Garnett also advised Towns to keep their tutorials private. Pressed to offer a couple of morsels, Towns shook his head.

Question: Who is the creative director at Vogue?

“It’s not like I get impressed once, and I’m over it, and I need something new,” she said. “I love this teacup. It impresses me. When I love something, whether things or people, I love them very deeply.” She is the third Mrs. Chow. (Or maybe even the fourth; some magazine profiles over the years have indicated that Mr. Chow was briefly married in the 1960s. Asked to clarify, he responded: “I’m not a family lawyer, nor an accountant. I don’t think it’s relevant.”) She was preceded by the model Tina Chow, who died in 1992; and, before that, Grace Coddington, who is now the creative director at Vogue.

Question: What is the limit per donor for general election?

The 2016 presidential campaign has barely begun, but it is already clear this will be the super contest of the “super PACs” — the fast evolving political money machines that are irresistible to candidates because they can legally raise unlimited money from donors seeking favor and influence. The idea of a super PAC created to support an individual candidate was little more than an experiment four years ago when strategists for Mitt Romney tested its potential after misguided court decisions shattered federal limits on spending on elections. President Obama, after initially denouncing unlimited contributions, used a super PAC in his re-election. Money poured in, and this year all the major candidates, Republican and Democratic, will be counting on supposedly “independent” super PACs. They will be able to benefit from funds far greater than the amounts allowed under current regulations, which limit contributions to a candidate’s formal campaign organization to $2,700 per donor in the primary contests and $2,700 in the general election.

Question: What stylist designed Michelle Obama's dress?

Friday night may have been a watershed for Michelle Obama. At the White House dinner for the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, the first lady summoned previously untapped, and perhaps unsuspected, reserves of glamour. Her long side-swept hair and black off-the-shoulder gown by the Chinese-American designer Vera Wang revealed an acute political savvy that was more than mere words could convey. Had Flotus gone Hollywood? Not quite. But her red-carpet-worthy turnout, evocative of Beyoncé at the top of her form, seemed especially well timed, inciting, predictably, an outpouring of mostly upbeat social commentary that eclipsed the event and all but engulfed the web.

Question: Who wrote the biography for Ty Cobb?

Cobb once beat up a teammate, the pitcher Ed Siever, continuing to punch him after he was probably already unconscious and then kicking him in the face. He went into the stands and severely assaulted a heckler who was missing seven fingers, having lost them in a workplace accident, even as surrounding spectators yelled, “He has no hands!” And consider: These incidents are recounted in Charles Leerhsen’s new biography, “Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty,” a book largely intended to rehabilitate its subject’s reputation. In writing this combination early-baseball history and legal brief, Leerhsen, a onetime editor at Sports Illustrated, has chosen a formidable reclamation project. Cobb’s image is not a fixer-upper; it’s a Superfund site.

Question: In what year would Alberto Youseff leave prison?

“It’s hard to predict,” he said. “Statistically, when you have cases against the rich and powerful, things tend to end with pizza. We have no illusions. No aspirations to be superheroes. We are only a group of guys determined to do our best.” One person who will be celebrating before too long is Alberto Youssef. Stress and jail have turned his hair gray, slimmed him down by 40 pounds and landed him last year in the hospital with a heart attack. His wife divorced him and he is said to be destitute. His days as a nexus of cash and gifts are over. But Judge Moro determined that his assistance had been so helpful that he was given the minimum sentence allowed in his plea agreement. With the time he has already served, he will be free by the beginning of 2017.

Question: Consumers might find the same information in catalogs where?

Asked if it might consider reviving a catalog, Sears declined to comment. Some consumers feel that retailers should ease off on sending catalogs. “They’re a nuisance,” said Lee Wright, who works in sales for a software company in Arlington, Va. While Mr. Wright nostalgically remembered poring over the Sears catalog in the 1980s and dog-earing pages, he said he now sought to discontinue mailings to his house. “Today, catalogs are a waste of paper,” he said. “It’s the same information that’s online.” He said he didn’t like to shop without reading product reviews, something often embedded in e-commerce platforms.

Some consumers feel that retailers should ease off on sending catalogs. “They’re a nuisance,” said Lee Wright, who works in sales for a software company in Arlington, Va.

Question: Where did the business start?

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

Question: What type of language doesn't have a relationship with what he does?

AS AN INSPIRATION CHEUNG His tonal language doesn’t have much of a relationship with what I do, whereas his approach to time is much more influential for me. You can have stretches of his music that are just dealing with the duration of natural resonances of instruments — attacks and decays — so you have this music that feels like breathing. It’s unpredictable, but very natural.

Question: The deal gives which country a legal path to an enrichment program?

Mr. McConnell said he thought it was telling that Mr. Cardin and Mr. Menendez, the two most senior Democrats on the Foreign Relations Committee, both opposed the deal. In an interview, Mr. Cardin said, “I recognize the numbers, believe me, I do,” sounding anguished about opposing Mr. Obama, whom he normally supports. “It was a close call, and I acknowledge it was a close call,” Mr. Cardin said. On the agreement, he said, “It allows Iran a legal path to have such a sophisticated enrichment program,” as well as “additional financial resources after sanction relief has been granted.”

Question: What was Mr. Drobny's connection to Mr. Rodham?

Even more important, according to Mr. Rodham, was what he said was going to be Mr. Clinton’s help on his Haiti rebuilding project. That project came about when Sheldon Drobny, an old friend, contacted Mr. Rodham about making a connection for a Chicago-area contractor, who wanted to become involved in building houses in Haiti. “We were trying to help. Period,” Mr. Drobny, a co-founder of Air America Radio, the former liberal talk network, said in a phone interview. He called the effort “humanitarian.”

Question: What will union members do after the agreement is presented?

The U.A.W. had been discussing creating a health care collective covering workers at all three companies for the purpose of saving money on the costs of medical care and prescription drugs. “The cooperative arrangement is embedded in the spirit of this agreement, and I really hope it gets implemented,” Mr. Marchionne said. Mr. Williams said he would present the tentative agreement on Wednesday to union officials from Fiat Chrysler facilities across the country. After that takes place, union members will vote on the pact. He said the vote would probably take place next week.

Question: For how long has Douglas Elmendorf been director of the C.B.O?

Let’s start with some background. For the last six years, Douglas Elmendorf has been the director of the C.B.O. By my judgment, he has done a remarkable job of shepherding the institution through times that have been both economically and politically difficult. (Full disclosure: Mr. Elmendorf is a friend and former student of mine, so I am not entirely objective. But many prominent policy wonks endorsed his reappointment.) Nonetheless, the new Republican leadership in Congress decided to appoint someone new to head the C.B.O. That decision is entirely understandable. Mr. Elmendorf has a long affiliation with Democrats, and the Republicans want someone who shares more of their perspective. As President Obama once said, elections have consequences. That includes the Republican sweep of 2014. So, on Friday, congressional leaders appointed Mr. Hall, a veteran of the Bush administration, to be the new head of the budget office.

Question: What anniversary was on Sunday?

CAIRO — At least 18 people were killed in political violence on Sunday, the fourth anniversary of the Arab Spring uprising, a reminder of the ruthless crackdown the military-backed government has used to silence any echoes of that revolt. Security officials said three of those killed were militants trying to plant bombs that accidentally exploded in two Nile Delta towns, and three others were police conscripts. At least 12 others were civilians killed by security forces. As many as 10 civilians were killed in clashes in the Matariya district, a frequent flash point on the northern edge of Cairo, and dozens of civilians were reportedly injured in clashes at scattered protests around the country. After nearly 18 months of recurring police shootings at street protests since the military takeover in 2013, it was the deaths of two others killed over the weekend that most captured Egypt’s attention. Sondos Reda Abu Bakr, a 17-year-old high school student, was killed Friday by police officers firing birdshot at a demonstration in Alexandria in support of ousted President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. And Shaimaa al-Sabbagh, 31, a left-leaning poet and activist, was killed in Cairo. She was a member of a socialist political party that had supported President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the military takeover he led in 2013.

Question: What did analysts conclude about the language in the document?

ROME —  Catholics should not try to convert Jews, but should work together with them to fight anti-Semitism, the Vatican said on Thursday in a far-reaching document meant to solidify its increasingly positive relations with Jews. Despite a long history of mutual suspicion and conflict, Christianity and Judaism are deeply intertwined, and Christians should treat the subject of the Holocaust with sensitivity and repel any anti-Semitic tendencies, the Vatican wrote. Titled “The Gifts and Calling of God Are Irrevocable,” the document was issued by the Vatican’s Commission for Religious Relations with Jews. Addressing an issue that has been a sore point between the two faiths for centuries, the commission wrote that the church was “obliged to view evangelization to Jews, who believe in the one God, in a different manner from that to people of other religions and world views.” It specified that “the Catholic Church neither conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed towards Jews.” Analysts said the language in the document seemed intended to put the issue to rest.

Question: What non-politician is mentioned?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech was a fascinating demonstration of political savvy — Israeli political savvy. Here he was in the center of the democratic universe with the guts to tell the United States that it was making a bad deal. To his political base at home, this must have looked heroic. At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber, since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak.

Question: What was the advertisement on the menu?

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: In what place has capitalism expanded the middle class and made gains in more dignity?

He is relentlessly negative, on the other hand, when describing institutions in which people compete for political power or economic gain. At one point he links self-interest with violence. He comes out against technological advances that will improve productivity by replacing human work. He specifically condemns market-based mechanisms to solve environmental problems, even though these cap-and-trade programs are up and running in places like California. Moral realists, including Catholic ones, should be able to worship and emulate a God of perfect love and still appreciate systems, like democracy and capitalism, that harness self-interest. But Francis doesn’t seem to have practical strategies for a fallen world. He neglects the obvious truth that the qualities that do harm can often, when carefully directed, do enormous good. Within marriage, lust can lead to childbearing. Within a regulated market, greed can lead to entrepreneurship and economic innovation. Within a constitution, the desire for fame can lead to political greatness. You would never know from the encyclical that we are living through the greatest reduction in poverty in human history. A raw and rugged capitalism in Asia has led, ironically, to a great expansion of the middle class and great gains in human dignity.
