Answer: chief executive

<hl> Cindy Whitehead, who oversaw a long, but ultimately successful, effort to bring to market the first prescription drug to enhance women’s sexual drive, is leaving her post as chief executive of Sprout Pharmaceuticals. <hl> In August, the Food and Drug Administration approved Sprout’s Addyi, often referred to as the “little pink pill,” after rejecting it in 2010 and in 2013 on concerns about side effects and limited effectiveness.

Question: What does the blue pill do?

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: How long did the partnership between United States and Saudi Arabia take to shape?

WASHINGTON — After more than two years of perceived slights and supposed snubs, the new contours of a revitalized but evolving partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia are beginning to take shape. This month’s visit to Washington by King Salman solidified the defense and security aspects of this new version of an old relationship. The Saudis are also strongly pushing an economic agenda as the centerpiece of what King Salman identified as a “new strategic alliance for the 21st century.” Last May, when President Obama hosted leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council for a summit meeting at Camp David, the Saudi monarch was conspicuously absent. The talk then of a “snub” missed two crucial points. First, the Saudis were trying to ensure that the Camp David meeting was the beginning, not the end, of a new conversation. Second, King Salman did not want to share center stage in his first major trip abroad as king with figures like the deputy prime minister of Oman.

Question: Who was the lead producer of Rotten

Oh cruel fate. You make a musical about two struggling playwrights who are always outshined by Shakespeare; the musical is nominated for 10 Tony Awards, and the only one it wins is for the guy who plays Shakespeare. The cheeky creators of “Something Rotten!” had been hoping for a different outcome. But licking their wounds was not going to help them bounce back, so, instead, they have embraced an unorthodox post-Tonys marketing strategy: calling attention to their plight. On Facebook, Twitter and in a full-page ad in The New York Times on Sunday, the show is trumpeting its status as “Loser!” in the best-musical race. The campaign notes that the show is not alone: a string of successful shows, from “West Side Story” to “Wicked,” had in previous years been passed over for best musical. “You’re always hoping that you’re going to win, but if you don’t, you have to think about how to position your show,” said Kevin McCollum, the lead producer of “Rotten!” “Very few shows have the confidence to go with the headline ‘Loser!,’ but it illustrates that we’re confident enough to acknowledge our loss and celebrate those that came before us.”

Question: When did the Tony awards  take place

Gallows humor about being passed over by the Tony Awards has become a bit of a theme this year.

Question: Where did it happen?

The funeral, which lasted just under an hour, was the brisk culmination of a day and a half of heartbreak. Residents of Midwood cloistered in their homes and synagogues during the Sabbath, from nightfall on Friday to nightfall on Saturday, recalling a band of conscientious children they had seen rushing to synagogue and building snowmen in the yard. On Sunday the mourners emerged, following the voice of a father who was away at a religious retreat when the fire broke out. Given the Sabbath prohibition on electronic communication, he did not learn what had happened until several hours later, when Police Department detectives found him at a synagogue in Manhattan.

Outside, shaking women wept into tissues. Stern men, rocking back and forth, blinked out tears.
