Question: What network aired a show about the subject in the passage?

“Black Rage” thrust Dr. Grier into the spotlight. Immediately after the book was published, KRON, the local NBC television station, followed him and Dr. Cobbs on a walk on Fillmore Street as they explained the issues discussed in the book. ABC broadcast a special on the book called “To Be Black.” The prominent black scholar Kenneth B. Clark, a professor of social psychology at City College, criticized “Black Rage” in The New York Times Book Review as simplistic, unscholarly and overly impressed with the originality of its findings. But most critics found the book readable, persuasive and sobering. The authors followed up with “The Jesus Bag” (1971), a critical analysis of the role of religion in black life. It was not nearly as successful as “Black Rage.” After serving as chairman of the department of psychiatry at Meharry Medical College in Nashville in the early 1970s, Dr. Grier started a psychiatric practice in San Diego, from which he retired in the 1990s.

Question: Who became the colony's governor?

The program details the awful first winter, the crucial alliance with the Indian leader Massasoit, and the colony’s eventual arrival at stability. In classic documentary style, writings from the time are read to accompany the narrative, most of them from the journal of William Bradford, who became the colony’s governor. The actor Roger Rees renders Bradford beautifully; it was among his last performances before his death in July. Mr. Burns’s most inspired touch is to end not in the 1600s, but two centuries later, by following what happened to Bradford’s journal. It disappeared during the Revolutionary War, then was rediscovered in the mid-1800s, just when a divided United States was in need of some feel-good, unifying core stories. The Mayflower passengers suffered terrible hardships, and from the Indians’ point of view their arrival was ultimately a dark day. But not on Thanksgiving.

Question: What kind of technology do Europe and Asia mainly rely on for transport?

The development of United States infrastructure, meanwhile, was centered on road transport. “In a way, it is a kind of historical accident,” Mr. Perkins said. “If you have the lines there already from an earlier period, you can just carry on supporting and improving them. “But putting that kind of rail access in retroactively is very expensive.” Their more consistent upkeep of rail systems has allowed European and Asian countries to devote a growing share of spending to state-of-the-art high-speed trains that run on dedicated rail lines fitted with sophisticated sensors and signal technology.

Question: Who has been accused of exclusionary politics?

The current expansion is happening without the mentorship of American forces, and under difficult circumstances. Thousands of men who had once been disarmed by government campaigns costing hundreds of millions of dollars are now being rearmed. The design is also being rolled out at a time when factional strongmen and elements of the former government in Kabul have mounted pressure on Mr. Ghani’s government, accusing him of exclusionary politics. In the wake of the Kunduz disaster, the strongmen, many of whom have pasts as northern warlords, have been pressing the government to use militias loyal to them in the fight against the Taliban. Some officials fear the militia expansion amounts to a political payoff to these strongmen, who have often used A.L.P. units for their personal business.

Question: In the game which Utah player did not compete?

Ricky Rubio tied a career high with 17 assists for the Timberwolves, who held off a late charge from the Jazz that cut a 15-point deficit to 6 even as Utah was playing without Derrick Favors. Trey Burke scored all 23 of his points in the second half for Utah. The Jazz have been gutted by injuries to much of their foundation, including Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum and Alec Burks. Relying on replacements for them and for Favors has left the team playing sloppy basketball of late. SPURS 112, SUNS 79 LaMarcus Aldridge had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and San Antonio easily won its 19th straight home game to start the season. The Spurs also extended their franchise-record home winning streak to 28 straight games dating to last season.

Question: What does the government feel is the only other alternative, and worse conclusion, to their current plan of action?

“The Taliban have all of a sudden felt a rush after Kunduz — they are abandoning plans for districts and making runs on cities,” said a senior Afghan official, who like others interviewed about security spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid political risk. The militia expansion plan is a reversal for President Ashraf Ghani, who had long talked about the importance of solidifying “the state monopoly over the use of force” in a country still deeply scarred by its civil war. Militia forces wielded by American-backed warlords were responsible for some of the worst atrocities in that decade-long conflict. Afghan officials who described the new plan, however, bluntly called it a matter of survival: Given a choice between ceding territory to the Taliban and reinforcing areas with semiformal militias deemed abusive and predatory, the government is opting for the latter. Officials said the plan called for the immediate recruitment of an additional 15,000 armed militiamen under the Afghan Local Police program, and according to some accounts that may rise to as many as 30,000. The measure is supposed to focus on beefing up defenses at the district level, potentially freeing up the badly overstretched army and the national police to concentrate their forces for more strategic strikes. While the Americans had long told the Afghan government to respect the 30,000 cap for the force, at least two Afghan officials said that discussions were underway and that the American military had shown interest in finding a way to fund the program’s expansion, which is believed to cost more than the force’s current $120 million annual budget. Mr. Ghani has told his officials he will seek other sources if the American funding does not materialize.

Question: How many times was Mr. Sweat shot?

Two days later, a state police sergeant happened upon Mr. Sweat on a rural road a mile and a half from the Canadian border. He chased him into an open field, and when the prisoner refused his order to stop running, the sergeant, a firearms instructor, dropped to one knee and fired, striking him twice from a distance of more than 50 yards with a .45-caliber pistol, two people briefed on the shooting said. Mr. Sweat provided the account to investigators from the State Police, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, and the State Inspector General’s Office during several sessions in recent weeks, according to the people briefed on his statements. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the investigation. The escape, the manhunt and the resulting spectacle proved to be an embarrassment for the Corrections Department and the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.

Question: Who wrote 'Dept of Speculation?

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 is the name of the campus of Westchester County?

“It seemed that going over poetry with her and singing songs with her was a tremendous way to interact with her,” he recalled. “When we did that, she acted decades younger than she was otherwise.” Convinced that poetry could be therapeutic, he asked the Sarah Neuman Center, the Westchester County campus of a sprawling nonprofit, Jewish Home Lifecare, based near his home in New Rochelle, to let him give readings, and the administration agreed. This year, he felt confident enough about his experience to write about it in The Journal of Poetry Therapy, in an article titled “A Poetry Program for the Very Elderly — Narrative Perspective on One Therapeutic Model.” In it, he argues that without intending to do so, he has developed a curriculum for others to follow.

Question: What made the government give ground?

Along with mounting economic pressures, it seemed that the government was willing to give ground for the sake of stability. Similarly, the rebels, who form an alliance known as the Sudanese Revolutionary Front, came to the talks under a new political reality. The regional dynamics that once bolstered them have shifted. With the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi in Libya and a civil war consuming South Sudan, the rebels no longer seemed as able to garner support from neighbors. Yet some analysts question whether the divided Sudanese government can, or even really wants to, reach a deal right now. “The question is whether the government of Sudan, comprised of the ruling National Congress Party, the military and National Security under President Bashir, is cohesive to make the bold steps, which involve politically difficult sacrifices,” said Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation. With the end of the rainy season, fighting is expected to resume. Commanders in the Sudanese Army still believe that a military victory over the rebels is possible, and they seem to want to delay negotiations until further gains can be made. Another problem is the dizzying number of competing interests in a country awash in rebel movements. In the provinces of Blue Nile and South Kordofan, the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Movement-North, once part of the party that now governs the nation of South Sudan, has been fighting an insurgency since 2011.

Question: Contact with the Westerners bought widespread death to who?

The Pilgrims and their fellow travelers weren’t terrorists, of course (despite an instance of putting the severed head of a perceived enemy on a pole), but they and those who followed certainly did effect a cultural conquest. Some versions of their story play that down, partly because a plague resulting from earlier contact with Westerners brought widespread death to coastal Indians in the Northeast just before the Mayflower arrived. God, it seemed to some, killed off the Indians to make way for the whites, a view this program corrects.

Question: What kind of surveillance does the N.S.A. use?

These volunteers should be able to do their work without having to worry that the United States government is monitoring what they read and write. Unfortunately, their anonymity is far from certain because, using upstream surveillance, the N.S.A. intercepts and searches virtually all of the international text-based traffic that flows across the Internet “backbone” inside the United States. This is the network of fiber-optic cables and junctions that connect Wikipedia with its global community of readers and editors.

Question: What was the reporter asked to ignore when talking to Marcelo?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Answer: Please ignore the siren

“ Please ignore the siren ,” he said.

Question: What do the doctors who examined Mr. Shin believe?

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.

Question: What did SAC plead guilty to?

Mr. Ganek and Mr. Chiasson were once star traders at SAC Capital, the former hedge fund founded by the billionaire investor Steven A. Cohen, and long a focal point of the government’s investigation. Although SAC ultimately pleaded guilty to insider trading, the government never raided its offices, highlighting the rarity of such an aggressive move. Mr. Ganek is not the first to question the government’s tactics.

Question: Who ruled that the long-claimed copyright on “Happy Birthday to You”?

Jake Arrieta threw a three-hitter to become the first pitcher to reach 20 wins this season, as the Chicago Cubs closed in on a playoff berth by shutting out Milwaukee, 4-0. The Yankees won and the Mets lost, and both gained ground in their pursuit of division titles. Roundup. Scoreboard. Schedule. • Popular tunes. A judge ruled that the long-claimed copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” is invalid. If the ruling stands, the song would become part of the public domain.

Question: What mean of transformation crashed last night?

The Midland crossing has been the site of 29 accidents since 1975, according to the railroad agency’s data. Two people have been killed and six more injured. The Metro-North Railroad crash last week, in which six people were killed when a train plowed into a sport-utility vehicle at a grade crossing in Westchester County, N.Y., cast renewed attention on the constantly lurking danger posed by the mixing of cars, trains and human nature at the tens of thousands of rail crossings across the country. Over the last week, reporters for The New York Times visited the 10 crossings that the railroad administration’s accident-prediction algorithm deems the most likely sites for crashes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — to examine their configurations and talk to people about the safety concerns.

Question: Why are students coming in with more anxiety into college?

Other survey results indicated that students were spending more time on academics and socializing less — trends that would normally be lauded. But the lead author of the study, Kevin Eagan, cautioned that the shift could result in higher levels of stress. “Students may be getting the message that they have to take the last year of high school more seriously to get into college, so they’re coming in with greater levels of anxiety,” Mr. Eagan said. “There may need to be a balance that students need to have at some point, and helping students achieve that balance will be more of a concern on colleges and universities.”

Question: Which senator is mentioned to be against a ban on assault weapons?

It’s always the same story. The San Bernardino murderers were wielding assault rifles, with which they were able to fire an estimated 65-75 bullets in rapid succession. Assault weapons, which seem to be the armament of choice for mass shootings, used to be illegal under a law that expired in 2004. If the law had stayed on the books, how many victims would have survived in San Bernardino, or at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.? Given the fact that semiautomatic weapons are totally inappropriate for either hunting or home defense, some of us would love to trade them for the possibility of reduced casualties next time somebody decides to go on a rampage. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is an excellent example of the politicians who totally disagree. Last time an assault weapons ban came up, he argued that Americans should not be forced to rely on regular slowpoke rifles “in an environment where the law and order has broken down, whether it’s a hurricane, national disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, cyberattack where the power goes down and the dam’s broken and chemicals have been released into the air and law enforcement is really not able to respond and people take advantage of that lawless environment.”

Question: Which species does Pliny says knows nothing yet can learn without being taught?

I open up Pliny to a random page and find him comparing the babies of different species. Of bears, he says: “When first born, they are shapeless masses of white flesh, a little larger than mice; their claws alone being prominent. The mother then licks them gradually into proper shape.” He then goes on to describe the babies of the human species: “Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught; he can neither speak nor walk nor eat, and, in short, he can do nothing, at the prompting of nature only, but weep.” Rivka Galchen is a recipient of a William J. Saroyan International Prize for Fiction, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award and a Berlin Prize, among other distinctions. Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in numerous publications, including Harper’s and The New Yorker, which selected her for their list of “20 Under 40” American fiction writers in 2010. Her debut novel, the critically acclaimed “Atmospheric Disturbances,” was published in 2008. Her second book, a story collection titled “American Innovations,” was published in May.

Question: What organization is helping to deal with the flu of refugees?

SPIELFELD, Austria —  The small, alpine state of Slovenia became the latest focus of Europe’s continuing migration crisis, when hundreds of migrants were diverted there on Saturday, after Hungary blocked a main transit route by closing its frontier with Croatia. The Slovenian prime minister, Miro Cerar, said that the army would be used to help deal with the flow of refugees from Croatia, who began arriving at the Slovenian border town of Petisovci and were being transferred to, and then across, the Austrian border.

Question: What is avoided by voice search if the answer is right?

Mr. Singhal and his group are trying to get ahead of all this with a combination of offense and defense. He and his team have moved to reinforce the golden goose that is Google’s web-based search engine by updating its ranking algorithms so that websites it deems mobile-unfriendly fall in search rankings. And they have spent five years building products like the Knowledge Graph, which responds to queries with answers. That adds power to tools like voice search and produces instant results that smartphone users appreciate because if the answer is right, they can just glance at their phone and move on, without having to click anything.

Question: What publisher was Stuart Scott working with?

When the longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott quietly agreed to write a memoir last year, appendiceal cancer and chemotherapy were weakening him. His appearances on the network were dwindling. His life was slipping away. There was no assurance that he would survive until late May, when Blue Rider Press expected to publish his book, “Every Day I Fight.” So last fall, when Scott was in the midst of a hospitalization that lasted 75 days, a decision was made to advance the publication to early March. Perhaps Scott would live until then.

Question: High-quality protein refers to what?

Those hard oval shells contain what some call nature’s perfect food: high-quality protein; a balance of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats; and important nutrients like vitamins A and D and calcium.

Question: How old was the boy?

A 15-year-old boy lured an 8-year-old girl into his apartment in Santa Cruz, Calif., and killed her before hiding her body in a recycling bin, the police said Tuesday. Chief Kevin Vogel of the Santa Cruz police said the girl, Madyson Middleton, went willingly into the apartment at the Tannery Arts Center, a housing complex for artists where they lived, and was probably dead before she was reported missing Sunday night, sparking a search by hundreds of volunteers. The suspect, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, knew the victim, Chief Vogel said. The boy was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Question: What was reported wrong about the airbags?

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

Question: What happened to Malik Zaire to end his season?

“At times it can be a little much, a little bit of a hassle,” Prosise said. “But it’s kind of cool to say you have your own TV show and you’re part of a TV show.” Showtime has shown Notre Dame in a positive light, though Kelly was not happy that it carried a teaser of him telling the team that tackle Ronnie Stanley was unable to accept being a captain. The scene was not included in the program, and Stanley later revealed that he could not accept because of parking violations. Stephen Espinoza, the executive vice president and general manager of Showtime sports and event programming, said the network had apologized. He also said that Showtime had worked with the university on story lines and on putting the show together and that it retained control over the program’s content. The university is aware of what scenes Showtime plans to use but does not see the full program until it runs. Espinoza said the network also understood it was about student-athletes and did not want to embarrass anyone. Players had the option of signing releases and could ask not to be filmed. “This show can only be produced in collaboration,” Espinoza said. Viewers have seen some lows, including the raw emotion of quarterback Malik Zaire after he broke his ankle, ending his season.

Question: What year was the experiment "Moving" done by the government?

One of her children is thriving in a special education program where he gets one-to-one attention, and she is thrilled that the school provides regular updates on his progress. In Dallas, she did not learn that he had been attending the wrong class until she received a notice requiring her to appear at truancy court. Her eldest daughter, 14, has started to talk about going to college. “It’s so quiet out here,” Ms. White said as she sat in the living room of the first house she has lived in, the family’s new dog on her lap. “I love it.” The government has tried before to fix the rent subsidy program. In the early 1990s, an experiment called Moving to Opportunity required some families to use their vouchers in more expensive neighborhoods. In 2000, a broader initiative raised the value of all vouchers in 49 metropolitan areas. Officials hoped the change would make it possible for families to find rental apartments in a broader range of neighborhoods. Instead, a recent study by the economists Peter Ganong of Harvard and Robert Collinson of New York University found that most families ended up paying higher rents in the same neighborhoods — and often for the same units.

Question: What did Mr. Mondella installed after suffering a break-in?

In hindsight, the security cameras, wire and lights Mr. Mondella installed after a break-in about eight years ago seemed strange, Mr. Murano said, especially after investigators told neighbors that a large sum of money had been taken. “I didn’t think he was protecting the Dye No. 7 or his equipment,” he said. Yet the factory seemed nothing if not successful. Mr. Mondella had expanded the plant multiple times, neighbors said, and he had bought warehouses and satellite facilities on other streets nearby. Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the rest of the waterfront neighborhood, but left the Dell’s factory intact.

Question: When did the Great West Conference disband?

N.J.I.T. will not quibble about its future home. After making the move to Division I from Division II in 2006, it found a temporary spot in the Great West Conference — a mishmash of colleges mostly from the Midwest and the West. But the conference was never granted an automatic bid to the men’s N.C.A.A. tournament, and in 2013 it disbanded after five of its six remaining members left for other conferences. From that point, the clock has been ticking for N.J.I.T. to upgrade its facilities to make itself more marketable. “This has been in the works for a while now,” Engles said. “When I would meet with recruits, I would tell them, ‘We plan on building a new $100 million facility,’ but it was just pictures. It was never guaranteed until now.”

Question: Which areas use more than their fair share of water?

In Tehran, officials barely managed to keep the water running this summer as reservoirs shrank to dangerously low levels. Subsidies for water and electricity encourage overconsumption in urban areas. Isa Kalantari, a former minister of agriculture, warns that more than half of Iran’s provinces could become uninhabitable within 15 years, displacing millions of people. As in drought-stricken California, agriculture accounts for about 90 percent of water consumption in Iran. And here, matters are not helped by the prevalence of crude, centuries-old irrigation methods and other wasteful practices.

Question: What ruling did Judge Mueller make about adjustments to the law?

Defense lawyers had argued in court filings that the charges should be dismissed in part because marijuana’s Schedule I classification was arbitrary and unconstitutional. They asserted that the 10th Amendment barred the federal government from superseding state laws legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Judge Mueller ruled that any adjustments to the law were better left to Congress. “This is not the court and this is not the time,” she said Wednesday, according to a report by The Associated Press. A written ruling will be issued by the end of the week. The decision dismayed advocates of marijuana legalization.
