Question: Who would try to explain to Sandy who Robyn was?

In October, Sandy wrote to an address in Mexico listed on the website of “The Peaceful Pill Handbook.” Weeks passed, and she fretted that her order had been confiscated at the border. But at last it arrived: a cardboard box, no bigger than a softball, wrapped in brown paper. Sandy eagerly took scissors to the packaging and retrieved two 100-milliliter bottles of pentobarbital — she had bought an extra one just in case, even though she believed that one bottle would be enough for a person her size. The drug needed to be kept in a cool place, so she took the bottles down to the basement. For the time being, she could leave the pentobarbital on a shelf, comforted by the knowledge that it was there. Now that the matter of “How?” was taken care of, the Bems turned back to the elusive question of “When?” They still generally agreed that Sandy would probably be alive until the end of 2014. But even with the treatments in Manhattan, her cognitive deficits were becoming more pronounced. When Bev came from Oregon to visit, Sandy couldn’t understand how Bev and she could possibly have had the same parents. She didn’t recognize Robyn’s name in conversation, and when Emily tried to explain that Robyn was “Dad’s sister,” Sandy asked who, exactly, was Dad?

Answer: Emily

Question: Who nominated Mr. Fox to be a commissioner last year?

The United States attorney’s office in Newark is investigating whether United reinstated flights to a South Carolina airport close to the weekend home of David Samson, the former Port Authority chairman, in exchange for concessions the airline sought from the agency. Mr. Samson is said to have raised the issue with United officials at a dinner that Mr. Fox attended in Manhattan in September 2011. Mr. Christie, a Republican, nominated Mr. Fox to be commissioner a year ago. He was hired in hopes that he could broker a deal with New Jersey’s Legislature, led by Democrats, to replenish the state’s fund for roads and transportation, which, if current trends continue, would be out of money next year.

Question: What series is about summer camp and 5 girls?

The trend to portray true-to-life gay characters in works intended for a wider audience extends to comic books aimed at younger readers, too. Published by an imprint of Boom! Studios, Lumberjanes is a series about the summer camp experiences of five girls, two of whom have a crush on each other. “We wanted to have queer characters but not oversexualize them,” says Shannon Watters, an editor at Boom! Studios and a creator of Lumberjanes, adding that she wants to represent regular children at an age when they are figuring out who they are. “The normalization of queer young people was important,” she said. Ms. Watters said she appreciated the efforts of more mainstream publications to do the same. “It is very encouraging to see the decisions that DC and Marvel have made in giving marginalized creators more of platform to tell their stories,” she said, “but we still have a long way to go.”

Question: Which barber do people line up and wait for at the salon?

To get the new Havana look, young men visit special barbershops around the city. The undisputed mecca of these salons is Donde Dorian. Camouflaged on a residential street opposite a wall with obedient graffiti extolling the local Committee for the Defense of the Revolution, the salon’s drab facade gives way to a bright front room selling Hollywood cigarettes, Cristal beer and espresso from a vintage machine. Above the polished bar is an LG flat-screen TV playing the ubiquitous reggaeton videos of poolside bacchanals. Around 11 p.m. on a recent evening, a line of young men waited in the back room for their turn in the seat of Dorian Carbonell Fernandéz, 31, who was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt and sculpting the eyebrows of Robert Richard Esteves with a straight edge razor. Mr. Fernandéz looked in a mirror, lined with boxes of Bulgari and Fendi colognes, and reached over the fence of Mr. Esteves’s hair to pluck up wilted locks within. He then blew out the hair up with a blow-dryer. Mr. Fernandéz’s hair blower always points up.

Question: What does meditation help reduce?

Change “is” to “could be,” and you become more mindful. The same is true when you look for an answer rather than the answer. Meditation isn’t snake oil. For some people, meditation might be the most efficient way to reduce stress and cultivate mindfulness. But it isn’t a panacea. If you don’t meditate, there’s no need to stress out about it. In fact, in some situations, meditation may be harmful: Willoughby Britton, a Brown University Medical School professor, has discovered numerous cases of traumatic meditation experiences that intensify anxiety, reduce focus and drive, and leave people feeling incapacitated. Evangelists, it’s time to stop judging. The next time you meet people who choose not to meditate, take a deep breath and let us relax in peace.

Question: When willthe department make a public comment?

Some details still need to be worked out. In the coming months, the Labor Department will solicit public comment on how to adjust the new salary threshold so it does not erode all over again. The best option is to raise it in line with wages or prices, whichever is greater in a given year. There will also be inevitable blowback from business interests, but their Republican allies in Congress should think twice about backing them up: No party and no politician that opposes the new overtime rules can credibly claim to care about the middle class.

Question: What kind of area is the area that runs from East 59th to East 96th?

The skinny strip of the Upper East Side that runs between Central Park and Park Avenue has long been dominated by co-ops and is arguably one of the most staid parts of the city. Now, in a burst of activity not seen since the 1980s, condominiums are shouldering their way into this upscale district, which runs from about East 59th to East 96th Streets. More than a half-dozen projects, ranging from newly built apartment houses to makeovers of prewar properties, have opened there in the last few years or are underway.

Question: What leader knew he needed new allies in the early 1990s?

“Sooner or later you fall on one side or the other,” he added. “Ortega has shown us that he has a tendency to do that.” There have certainly been times when the church has challenged the government. In the early 1990s, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Fidel Castro, knowing that he needed new allies and new sources of money, began to soften his stance on the church. The move seemed to energize the church, which issued a statement in 1993 that sent waves through the Catholic community — and the government — in its calls for more openness to ideas outside of the state.

Question: Which countries have severe water pumping issues?

Over the long term, Dr. Hanak believes, the state should not only encourage farmers to store water in the ground, but also consider creating a market to allow them to buy and sell their allotments. Megan Konar, an engineer at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is among the experts eager to see California lead the world toward more sustainable methods. Recent research she did with a graduate student, Landon Marston, found that 18.5 percent of the American grain supply, an essential link in the food chain, is coming from parts of the country where the aquifers are being depleted. Other research suggests that overpumping of water is even more severe in parts of India and Africa, a long-term risk to the global food supply. As climate change forces farmers to grow crops in hotter conditions, water demand is only going to rise.

Question: Who missed two free throws?

“I’ve always felt like that was part of my job as the point guard,” he said. “And truthfully, in my head, I am trying to stay calm and be sure I’m thinking straight.” Trice’s measured approach to the game was evident at least three times in the regional final. Near the end of regulation, after his teammate Marvin Clark Jr. missed two free throws, shots that might have clinched the victory for Michigan State, Trice went to Clark at the next whistle — with the game still very much in doubt. “I told him that those misses weren’t going to lose us the game,” Trice said. “I told him he was going to get another big rebound or another chance to help us win. We needed him now so we could win.”

Question: What is the second thought on "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"?

On paper, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” should be dreadful. That’s not quite fair. On paper, Mr. Andrews’s book is lovely: sensitive and rueful and attuned to both the solipsism and the ethical seriousness of adolescence. But it’s also full of the sort of themes, emotions and situations that can turn maudlin and embarrassing on the way from page to screen. The self-conscious narrator, the kooky parents and above all the dying girl — these elements are likely to raise alarms among grown-up admirers of the auteurs whom Earl and Greg mock and revere.

Question: While addressing a crown in Boise, Idaho, President Obama was compared to which infamous world leader?

Consider Idaho, arguably the reddest state in the union, where Republicans control everything but a handful of latte stands. After much bluster and protest, Idaho politicians caved and set up a state health care exchange under Obamacare. To the surprise of the experts, Idahoans have embraced the private coverage available under the Affordable Care Act — “one of the most successful enrollments of any state,” as Kaiser Health News reported. Obama was in Boise on Wednesday, speaking to a crowd of more than 6,000 people at an event where all tickets were gone within an hour. “Now there are 10 black people in Idaho,” was one of the tweets from Boise. The president was fully energized, jocular, primed for a strong finish. A handful of protesters held up the usual hate posters, one comparing him to Hitler. But it did not escape notice that his motorcade passed a Shell station selling regular gasoline for $1.77 a gallon.

Question: What is needed in order to pursue clinical trials?

Mr. Roin, the M.I.T. professor, describes another approach: to provide a period of market exclusivity — long enough to motivate investment in clinical trials — to any organization addressing an unmet medical need with a drug that isn’t patentable. If it invested in securing F.D.A. approval for a drug based on active ingredients not found in existing drugs, an organization would be granted such a period of market exclusivity and the stream of profits that usually accompanies it, even if the drug was considered obvious and not novel. That idea has been included in congressional legislation, but has not made it into law.

Question: Why are defectors like Mr. Shin tempted to obscure the truth?

Mr. Shin has been examined by doctors who believe he was subjected to torture and child labor, given the evidence of his scars and unnaturally bowed arms. We shouldn’t lose sight of that when discussing his lies. It’s easy to see how Mr. Shin was tempted to obscure the truth. For defectors, sometimes doing so is the only way to survive. My own story starts with my escape in 1997, when I was 17. I did not crawl through a tunnel or over an electrified-wire fence, nor was I spirited in disguise across the demilitarized zone. I lived near the border with China, and one night I simply left home and walked across the iced-over river that separated the two countries. I was fortunate that my family had close relationships with some of the border guards, so I was able to cross without incident. At the time, I thought I would return home after a brief visit. I stayed in hiding for a while, learning Chinese. Eventually my Chinese became so fluent that I could pass for a local. Still, I was terrified of being captured or betrayed, so I created a false identity. Staying in China provided me with the opportunity to adjust to life outside of North Korea, and to gain a sense of perspective, most importantly, by learning that so much of what I had been taught about my country was a lie. In the early days, I considered going to South Korea, but I had internalized everything I had been told my whole life: South Korea was the enemy. I believed going there would be a betrayal of my country — and that my family might be punished as a result. Ultimately, I learned that I could go to South Korea by giving up my real identity, which would ensure my family back home would be safe. Once I got there, I faced the same challenges as the 27,000 other defectors who have now made it to the South. They struggle from a lack of education and job skills, discrimination, loneliness and emotional turmoil. Many drop out of school. Suicide rates are unusually high. Many defectors who fail to acclimatize even return to the North. We have no way of knowing how many have returned — and it’s unclear what eventually happens to them — but Pyongyang has started using these “double defectors” for its propaganda.

I lived near the border with China, and one night I simply left home and walked across the iced-over river that separated the two countries. I was fortunate that my family had close relationships with some of the border guards, so I was able to cross without incident. At the time, I thought I would return home after a brief visit. I stayed in hiding for a while, learning Chinese. Eventually my Chinese became so fluent that I could pass for a local. Still, I was terrified of being captured or betrayed, so I created a false identity. Staying in China provided me with the opportunity to adjust to life outside of North Korea, and to gain a sense of perspective, most importantly, by learning that so much of what I had been taught about my country was a lie. In the early days, I considered going to South Korea, but I had internalized everything I had been told my whole life: South Korea was the enemy. I believed going there would be a betrayal of my country — and that my family might be punished as a result. Ultimately, I learned that I could go to South Korea by giving up my real identity, which would ensure my family back home would be safe. Once I got there, I faced the same challenges as the 27,000 other defectors who have now made it to the South. They struggle from a lack of education and job skills, discrimination, loneliness and emotional turmoil. Many drop out of school. Suicide rates are unusually high. Many defectors who fail to acclimatize even return to the North. We have no way of knowing how many have returned — and it’s unclear what eventually happens to them — but Pyongyang has started using these “double defectors” for its propaganda.

Question: Which actor gets naked in Digging for Fire?

“Digging for Fire,” Joe Swanberg’s new feature is, like many of his previous movies, a case study in heterosexual ethics. Its scope is narrow and, the title notwithstanding, it plumbs no great depths. But like Mr. Swanberg’s “Drinking Buddies” and “Happy Christmas,” the film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style. The opening titles promise a big ensemble, and a good deal of suspense comes from wondering just when some of those intriguing names will show up. It would almost be a spoiler to tell you when and in what capacity they do, but it’s fun to anticipate the arrival of Melanie Lynskey, Sam Elliott, Brie Larson, Chris Messina (who gets naked) and Anna Kendrick (who almost does). Orlando Bloom appears at almost the precise moment you’ve forgotten he was supposed to, wearing a man-bun and an air of rugged weariness.

Question: What is Lundqvist record in the last 16 elimnation games?

He went to the corner, along with Cam Talbot, his backup, and the two of them started shuffling, sliding in place, reacting to invisible pucks. Then he and Talbot took turns in net as a staff member fired shots from close range and different angles. Practice had not officially started, but Lundqvist was working up a sweat. This is the way he starts most every practice, though. The Rangers were preparing to play Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Washington Capitals, set for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, and Lundqvist was acting as if it were any other game. “My preparation has stayed the same for years,” Lundqvist said afterward. “I don’t change anything when the games get more important. I like consistency. I try to stick with the same approach.” It is hard to argue with him. Lundqvist has won 13 of his last 16 games in which the Rangers have faced elimination, posting a 1.42 goals-against average, a .955 save percentage and two shutouts. He is undefeated in his last nine elimination games at the Garden and owns a 5-1 career record in Game 7s.

Question: Who is a major holder of Puerto Rico bonds?

Q. Who stands to lose the most from defaults? A. Puerto Rico bonds had been held widely by mutual funds on the mainland United States. But that concentration has shifted, as hedge funds have bought up as much as a quarter of the debt. While many of these funds bought the debt at distressed prices, an additional hit to bond values could ruin their investments. Another vulnerable group consists of Puerto Rico residents who have sunk much of their wealth into local bonds and decimated their retirement savings.

Question: Which base runner scored off of Saladinos base hit?

Asked if he had thought the ball was out, Gregorius said, “Until I got robbed, yeah.” Then in the fifth, Mitchell just missed getting his glove on Adam Eaton’s single up the middle. After a wild pitch, Tyler Saladino followed with another grounder up the middle, which gave the White Sox a 3-1 lead and spelled the end for Mitchell, who gave up seven hits and struck out five. Moreno came in for his first appearance since throwing five and a third innings of no-hit relief Tuesday against Texas, a stint that kept him from being returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a fresher arm. But it quickly became apparent that Moreno would not repeat that performance. He nicked Jose Abreu on the elbow and then surrendered Cabrera’s home run.

Question: What did the court sentence a nurse to life in prison for on Thursday?

A court sentenced a nurse to life in prison on Thursday for killing patients at a clinic with overdoses of heart medication that he confessed to administering because he enjoyed trying to revive them. The Oldenburg regional court found the 38-year-old nurse guilty of two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and another of serious bodily harm, said a court spokesman. Prosecutors had accused the man, identified only as Niels H., in line with German privacy rules, of three murders and two attempted murders at a clinic in the town of Delmenhorst. But he may have killed more. He said that he intentionally brought about cardiac crises in some 90 patients and that 30 had died.

Question: What colors were Louise Nevelson's forward-looking wood reliefs painted?

The sculptor Louise Nevelson took up a fair amount of space in New York in the 1960s and early ’70s. She was one of the most prominent artists of her generation, known for her imperious personality and a penchant for false eyelashes, heavy jewelry and chinchilla capes. More important were her forward-looking wood reliefs, painted entirely black or white, which linked the found-object aesthetic of assemblage to the clean lines and orderly sequences of Minimalism (and also presaged the all-black assemblage sculptures of Rashid Johnson). But by the time she died at age 88 in 1988, the art world had moved on.

Question: What group complained that they have been bypassed in previous talks with the Taliban?

The Afghan government side included a diverse array of representatives, among them former members of the Taliban who have reconciled with the government; Tajik, Pashtun and Uzbek leaders; and President Ashraf Ghani’s uncle, Abdul Qayoum Kochai, according to Nazar Mohammad Mutmaeen. Mr. Mutmaeen is an Afghan writer and journalist who previously served as an official in the Taliban government but now lives in Kabul openly. He is known to have good contacts among Taliban officials in Qatar and elsewhere. Mr. Mutmaeen said that the Taliban had agreed on the list of those attending the Pugwash Conference, but overruled some, such as the High Peace Council’s secretary general, Masoom Stanikzai, if they seemed too obviously representative of the government. It also insisted that members of the government delegation come as individuals in personal capacities. Mr. Mutmaeen said that at least two and possibly three women were among the government delegation. Afghan women’s groups have long complained that they had been bypassed in previous attempts to open talks with the Taliban, and noted that they would have the most to lose if repressive Taliban-era restrictions on women’s public roles were to return.

Question: What does Mr. Venable recommend to prevent this?

Co-buyers should be aware that the mortgage underwriter will base their eligibility on the lower of their credit scores, just as with married couples jointly applying for a loan. They should carefully consider the stability of each other’s income, and how long one buyer could cover the mortgage if the other fell short. Mr. Venable noted that if one buyer loses a job and cannot pay, resulting in a delinquency or default, both buyers’ credit would suffer. (The same principles apply if more than two friends are buying together.) Mr. Venable also recommends planning upfront for how home repairs, insurance and other expenses would be managed in a detailed co-ownership agreement.

Question: Who will be Mr. Cameron's "real opposition", in the words of Mr. Nelson?

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.

One person in Louisiana died Wednesday and two others were in intensive care, said Mark Ryan, the director of the Louisiana Poison Center. “We had one hospital in the Baton Rouge area that saw over 110 cases in February. That’s a huge spike,” Dr. Ryan said. “There’s a large amount of use going on. When one of these new ingredients — something that’s more potent and gives a bigger high — is released and gets into distribution, it can cause these more extreme effects.”

Question: What happens to Pinocchio's nose before the audience's eyes?

‘Pinocchio’ (Friday through Sunday) In this stage version of Carlo Collodi’s classic tale, the title character doesn’t just want to be a boy; he also wants to be a star. Presented at the New Victory Theater by the acclaimed Windmill Theater of Australia, this two-hour rock musical, with a score by Jethro Woodward, portrays Pinocchio as a youth — his nose grows before the audience’s eyes — who’s easily seduced by contemporary glamour. Written by Rosemary Myers and Julianne O’Brien, the show includes puppetry and animated projections. (Through March 22.) Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m.; Sunday at 3 p.m.; 209 West 42nd Street, Manhattan; 646-223-3010, newvictory.org.

Question: Where is the city of Bosso located?

Boko Haram fighters crossed the Komadougou River separating Nigeria from Niger and attacked Bosso, a remote town that is a local seat of government with an open-air market that has been sheltering thousands of refugees from the conflict. An army officer in Niger said the fighters were pushed back after at least three hours of combat. Speaking from Niamey, the capital, the officer said all the Boko Haram fighters who entered Bosso were killed. Other Niger government officials could not be reached on Friday afternoon, and phone lines to Bosso, on Niger’s eastern edge, were not working.

Question: What types of seasonings did the chicken breast sit in?

The first dish I tried from the main course spread, chicken chettinadu, was lackluster. Overcooked and bland cubes of breast sat in a black pepper and coconut curry that wasn’t spicy, as it was supposed to be, and didn’t taste of coconut. No matter this miss. Rogan josh, lamb shank cubes marinated in yogurt and spices and cooked in a curry redolent of garam masala, was deep with flavor and satisfying along with a scoop of the accompanying basmati rice. And the Goan fish curry, tilapia simmered with fenugreek, mustard paste, fennel seeds and coconut milk, a specialty from the coastal state in Western India, had the right balance of sourness and heat. The aloo gobi, cauliflower florets and diced potatoes in a gingery tomato curry, was simple like it should be, but the tandoori prawns wooed us the most. For the dish, seven jumbo tiger prawns are marinated overnight in yogurt, red chili powder and ginger garlic paste, and are then baked in a tandoor, a clay oven. The prawns arrived sizzling on a cast-iron dish. It takes a mindful eye not to overcook shrimp, and these were soft, almost buttery and perfectly seasoned.

Question: When does Yukiya Amano have to provide the final assessment?

In a statement, the atomic agency, the nuclear-monitoring arm of the United Nations, said that as of Thursday, its requests for materials clarifying “past and present outstanding issues regarding Iran’s nuclear program were completed.” Under the timeline for all preparatory steps required to put the nuclear agreement into effect, the atomic agency’s director general, Yukiya Amano, now has until Dec. 15 to provide “the final assessment on the resolution of all past and present outstanding issues,” the statement said. Iran always has asserted that its nuclear work is peaceful. But questions about past Iranian activities, and what atomic agency inspectors had described as Iran’s resistance in resolving them, became an acute obstacle in the negotiations.

Question: Who selected Darryl for their team team?

Darryl Dawkins, who arrived in professional basketball as a gigantic teenager and became one of the game’s fiercest dunkers and most notoriously lovable characters, a backboard-smashing, referee-dissing, fun-loving manchild known to fans as Chocolate Thunder from Planet Lovetron, died on Thursday in Allentown, Pa. He was 58. Tracey Sechler, a spokeswoman for Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, confirmed the death. Robert Tyler, a family friend, said the apparent cause was heart failure. One of basketball’s larger-than-life figures — though at 6-foot-11 and more than 250 pounds he was pretty large to begin with — Dawkins made his mark on the sport’s history in a number of ways. Selected as an 18-year-old from Orlando, Fla., by the Philadelphia 76ers as the fifth overall choice in the 1975 National Basketball Association draft, he became the first player to make the leap directly from high school to the N.B.A. (He was not the first high schooler to turn pro. A year earlier, Moses Malone had jumped from high school in Virginia to the Utah Stars, a franchise in the American Basketball Association, which merged with the N.B.A. in 1976.)

Question: What is the name of the final chef mentioned?

This exchange suggested some of the challenges facing Noreetuh’s chef, Chung Chow, along with his partners, Jin Ahn and Gerald San Jose. Island seafood and produce fill the walk-ins at contemporary Honolulu restaurants like MW or the Pig and the Lady, but they rarely reach the island of Manhattan. A knowledgeable audience can’t be imported, either. While islanders can be counted on to know exactly which local dish Alan Wong is playing around with, the average New Yorker has almost no idea what the residents of the 50th state eat. Don’t they like … Spam?

Question: Who took charge of ordering off the menu for the couple?

“He knew the menu, so he took charge with the ordering, but not in an arrogant, controlling way,” she said. “He was very polite, and I thought to myself that unless I find out that this guy is totally crazy, he’s the perfect guy for me.” Mr. Kaba found Ms. Dawson to be very engaging and always smiling. “She made me feel very comfortable,” he said. So they planned a second date a few days later, at the driving range at Chelsea Piers, where they shared their first kiss. “I’m an average golfer, but she didn’t know how to play the game at all, so I looked even better in her eyes,” Mr. Kaba said.

Question: On what date was the article in question published?

To the Sports Editor: Re “Balancing Body Image With Ambition,” July 11: As a female athlete training on the United States rowing team, I was deeply disappointed and frustrated by this article. The opinions and comments from arguably the world’s most prominent female athletes incited second-hand embarrassment for those women. The word “feminine” was used by some of these athletes to describe the way they want to be perceived by the public. That word has a fluid definition, but it was clear that for these women, their definition of feminine is based on body image, and it can be inferred that the body type they desire is lacking in strength or substance.

Question: Who stated that they may or may not sign off on the bill?

The Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would make California the first state to extend health coverage to children who are in the country illegally and seek federal authorization to sell private insurance to immigrants without documentation.

It would seek a federal waiver for California to sell unsubsidized private insurance through the state’s health exchange. The bill goes to the Assembly. Gov. Jerry Brown has not said whether he would sign it.
