Question: Who spent the last five years  slaughtering people to appease a ghost?

Speaking of children, Alex and John are reunited when Alex confesses that both she and Holden are in danger from the Countess unless the pack of rabid vampire children Alex inadvertently created are dealt with. After luring the children into the hotel’s dungeon (where Ramona Royale is still lurking) the Lowes tumble into bed, much to Sally’s murderous fury. “What we have is an addict’s high,” John explains to Sarah Paulson’s junkie ghost. “In the moment, it seems like it’s never ends. But it always ends.” Alex, John and Holden leave the Cortez, hopefully to retrieve daughter Scarlett, as forgotten by them as by the show’s writers. But what will happen when Alex discovers John has spent the past five years slaughtering people to appease a ghost? Or when John realizes there’s something different about his wife? But sure, cancel the divorce papers, romance is for optimists! The Countess, meanwhile, threatens the ghost of Will Drake, her former fiancé and current owner of the Cortez: “I don’t kill children,” she explains after reminding Drake that his young son, her legal ward, is his sole heir, “but I could make him a blood relative.” Keeping his son uninfected might just be Will Drake’s unfinished business.

Question: According to the prime minister what is the survival of Israel?

As the negotiations continued furiously in Lausanne, Switzerland, over the past week, Mr. Netanyahu made daily statements railing against them. He emphasized Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts, most recently Yemen, and denounced an Iranian general’s declaration in recent days that “the destruction of Israel is nonnegotiable.” “Well, I want to make clear to all: the survival of Israel is nonnegotiable,” the prime minister declared on Friday. “Israel will not accept an agreement which allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons, period.” Israel is not a party to the talks, which aim to reach a final accord by June 30, and at times he has complained of being left out of the loop. But President Obama, in a telephone call to Mr. Netanyahu shortly after the framework was announced, promised to renew security consultations and deepen coordination. One question going forward is how fiercely Mr. Netanyahu will fight the deal in Congress, where he spoke against it last month at the invitation of the House speaker, John A. Boehner, a Republican, infuriating the White House and some Democratic members. He gave no hint of his next steps in the Friday statement, beyond the demand for recognition. While Mr. Netanyahu had not previously mentioned recognition in regard to Iran, he has made a similar call in recent negotiations with the Palestinians.

Question: What film helped Kenji Mizoguchi find his footing?

The Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi (1898-1956) was not only a great artist, but he was also an unusually prolific one. By 1939, the year he completed “The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum,” a breathtaking melodrama opening in a new restoration Friday, he had over 50 films to his credit. Yet, it was only with his 1936 feature “Osaka Elegy” that, by some accounts, Mr. Mizoguchi felt he had finally found his artistic footing. “Chrysanthemum,” set in late 19th-century Japan, tells the story of Kikunosuke (Shotaro Hanayagi), an egotistic Kabuki actor, and Otoku (Kakuko Mori), who sacrifices her own happiness to help him achieve greatness.

Question: What is the name of the company mentioned int he passage?

That proliferation of start-ups has led to a new complaint from computer security chiefs: overlapping information — sometimes as much as 40 percent — in the reports they receive, none of which is cheap.

Question: What equipment was working at the time of the crash?

At the briefing, Mr. Sumwalt said that investigators reviewing the workings of the rail crossing found that the warning lights, the alarm and the gate arms were all functioning at the time of the crash. In an interview with investigators on Thursday, the engineer operating the train said he saw the S.U.V. moving onto the tracks as the northbound train approached the crossing at Commerce Street. The engineer’s account of the car’s moving into the path of the train was consistent with the account of a man who said he was in the car behind Ms. Brody’s, and who was interviewed by reporters after the crash and by investigators for the federal safety board on Thursday.

Question: what school did the dean offer to get Georgie into?

“So my grades were not great,” she said. One day she was summoned to the dean’s office. “Georgie,” she remembered the dean saying, “you have not made a hit socially or academically. How would you like to transfer to Princeton?” (The Ivy League school started accepting women in 1969.) “I said, ‘How would I get in?’ She told me not to worry, that it had been arranged, to just go. Being stubborn, I refused.” In the next three years, she worked hard, was elected president of the student government as well as the Glamour magazine representative for the school. She accepted that honor, she said, “wearing my usual uniform, the bluejeans, army jacket and boots.”

Question: Is Dr. Leal interested in theories about homing lizards?

His next step is to attach a GPS tracking device to the lizards to see what kind of path they follow on their way home. But he is so eager to hear theories about the homing lizard that he is sharing his email address. Anyone with a suggestion about how the lizards navigate or how their ability might be tested can email him at lealmizzou@gmail.com. He will be in the field, with anoles, until mid-July. After that, he says, he’ll answer any emails with promising ideas. Think of it as a tip line for science.

Question: Which league can Bayern win without putting in their full effort?

So it falls to Rummenigge and to Sammer to plot the future. They say they trust in Guardiola, even if his mission to change the style of play employed under Heynckes is, at best, an unfinished project. In part, the problem is that Bayern does not have to be the best in Europe to win the German league. With Borussia Dortmund having stumbled — brought down by Munich’s ability to lure or, if necessary, buy Dortmund’s finest players — the next-closest team has routinely been 15 points off the pace in challenging Bayern in the Bundesliga this season.

Question: What year were low-cost high-rises developed in the area?

History Clinton Hill’s glory days began in the mid-19th century when a working-class enclave gave way to Gilded Age villas. In the 1920s it slipped from fashion, then plunged after World War II as low-cost high-rises were developed in the area. In 1967, Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe rented an apartment at 160 Hall Street, near Pratt Institute. She wrote in her 2010 memoir “Just Kids” that “its aggressively seedy condition was out of my range of experience. The walls were smeared with blood and psychotic scribbling, the oven crammed with discarded syringes, and the refrigerator overrun with mold.” The monthly rent was $80.

Question: What is the next best thing to a person communicating their wishes for care?

To the Editor: Dr. Jessica Nutik Zitter’s Feb. 8 Sunday Review essay, “Patient Autonomy Gone Wrong” (“The End” series) presents a real-life case showing just some of the problems with paper-based advance directives, especially during the critical decision-making moments in the emergency room. Today’s consumers deserve better care, and to provide it, directives need to be created, updated, accessible and incorporated into treatment. Consumers should do the first two parts so doctors can do the second two parts. “Vincent” wrote a directive, but as Dr. Zitter acknowledges, since it hadn’t been updated in 10 years, there was concern about its relevancy. A simple “yes, these are still my thoughts” comment could have been helpful. If Vincent had included video messages or identified agents who could speak on his behalf, doctors might have been able to better understand and incorporate his goals. Far too often, directives are filed away in a drawer. They don’t get updated, and they are hard to find in a crisis. To truly deliver care in accordance with a person’s wishes, one’s voice should be heard. If the person can’t communicate clearly during the health crisis, an updated, digitally accessible advance medical directive is the next best thing.

Question: What would be a good summary of what happened with car-pooling from 1980 to 2013?

The new services come after a long decline of car-pooling. According to a report released by the Census Bureau in August, car-pooling fell to a low of just over 9 percent in 2013, the last year for which figures are available, from nearly 20 percent in 1980. About 76 percent of people who traveled to work drove alone in 2013, according to the report. Christopher Koopman, a research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, gained firsthand experience in the sharing economy. After landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, he considered the traditional options: taking a taxi or riding on mass transit. In the end, he used UberPool, a recent venture by Uber that offers shared rides on demand. Although the trip to his office took a detour to a hotel to drop off his traveling companion, the price of the ride fell to $8, from $12 if he had ridden solo.

Answer: a long decline of car-pooling

<hl> The new services come after a long decline of car-pooling . <hl> According to a report released by the Census Bureau in August, car-pooling fell to a low of just over 9 percent in 2013, the last year for which figures are available, from nearly 20 percent in 1980. About 76 percent of people who traveled to work drove alone in 2013, according to the report.

Question: What does DeWitt apply to their novel that is also seen in science fiction literature?

Joe’s is a descriptivist moralism made evident by empty jargon, meaningless tautologies and cheerful resignation. “Let’s face it,” he likes to say, before making an assumptive declaration. “If you’re in sales” is one of his favorite introductory phrases. A refrain is the literary term for what in life we would call an “annoying verbal tic.” Repeat a line over and over in a book, and it’s an aesthetic choice that your readers will react to with an approving nod. Repeat a line over and over again in speech and whoever you’re talking to will fidget and try to get away from you. In DeWitt’s novel, the redundancy does both. Like the authors of the best science fiction, DeWitt applies logistical rigor to a riotously imaginative premise. Were the world of the book the same as the world we live in, we’d never tolerate the mundanity she provides: the bureaucratic hurdles, the financial negotiations, the material impediments to tricking out toilets with glory holes. But it’s just this kind of gratuitous information that lends the novel its necessary plausibility; it’s just this kind of boring nuance that makes up a good part of a worker’s day (or so I hear). DeWitt’s satirical prose, which is rich in italics and ridden with corporate platitudes, succeeds in the unlikely task of getting the reader both to laugh with derision and to agree, however reluctantly, with the optimism and sick logic of our protagonist. Almost nothing is more satisfying than observing improvement. Like time-lapse footage of a construction site, “Lightning Rods” is an account of progress, a record of how someone became skillful at something. That the “something” here is anonymous sex on demand as a means of increasing corporate profit is both funny and horrifying.

Question: Where does Hicklin buy "Little Dickens" tea?

Hicklin plans to man the store himself on weekends, offering up mince pies and cups of tea (including a rooibos blend called “Little Dickens” from the Brooklyn-based purveyor Bellocq, as well as Yorkshire Gold from his native England). He admitted that the project has required him to play “literary investigator,” doggedly tracking down a few quirky or elusive volumes. “Raymond Pettibon, for example, his list is crazy,” Hicklin noted with admiration. “Like, seventeenth-century treatises on urn burial. Where else would you find this?” The artist Ryan McGinley, for his part, included a beautiful 1960 illustrated children’s book called “About Caves,” and the director John Waters named out-of-print treasures such as Philip Hoare’s “Serious Pleasures: The Life of Stephen Tennant.”

Question: Where does Tiant live now?

“I told him Boston is a good place to play,” Tiant said. “I lived there for 43 years. I live in Maine now, but I lived in Boston for years, and for me, it is my second country. People were great to me, and they are still great to me. They show me respect, admiration and love. They don’t have that anywhere else I’ve been, just in Boston.” Tiant was a larger-than-life figure in Boston: a portly, cigar-smoking character whose starts were big events. He was also known as an exceptional clutch performer. In the memorable 1975 World Series, Tiant won two games against the Cincinnati Reds, including a shutout in Game 1. He also won the final regularly scheduled game of the 1978 season with a two-hit shutout against the Blue Jays that forced the famous one-game playoff with the Yankees. But Tiant’s status as Boston sports royalty was solidified as far back as 1972, when he went 15-6 with a 1.91 E.R.A., the best in baseball that season. Tiant was unable to return to Cuba for 46 years. After leaving Cuba, he did not see his father for 14 years until Luis Tiant Sr. was allowed to come to Boston to watch the 1975 World Series. “It’s sad,” Tiant said. “It was 46 years before I go back to my country, and a lot of my friends and people I played with and went to school with, they died. It’s not a comfortable situation. I didn’t see my father for 14 years. I thought I would never see him again.” Moncada grew teary-eyed when he spoke of his own family. He said that until he left Cuba nine months ago, he had not gone more than a week without seeing his family. But the future might not be as difficult for him as the past was for Tiant. The governments of Cuba and the United States have initiated a process that could lead to a normalization of relations. If that is achieved, it may not be as difficult for the current group of Cuban players to travel home and then return to the United States to play.

Question: Which Chinese government agency is mentioned?

Mr. Tian’s case is particularly significant not only because the D.E.A. considers him a major spice exporter, but also because Chinese manufacturers of synthetic drugs so rarely come to the United States. But Mr. Tian traveled to Los Angeles after a major customer of his became a confidential informant for the D.E.A. The informant, who has not been identified, told investigators that about 70 percent of the spice sold in the United States was made from chemicals originating in Mr. Tian’s Chinese laboratory. The location of that lab has not been disclosed. D.E.A. officials said in a statement on Thursday that China’s Ministry of Public Security had initiated its own investigation into Mr. Tian, his associates and relevant companies. “The D.E.A. and M.P.S. continue to exchange information in this joint investigation into the manufacturing and trafficking of synthetic cannabinoid compounds and other dangerous drugs,” the statement said. Lawyers for Mr. Tian declined to comment on the case before his trial, scheduled to begin in federal court in Milwaukee in July.

Question: What was the single highest bid received?

“Legislators owe it to the people of the county to listen to his plan, to test the assumptions and to compare it to the plan they are in such a hurry to implement,” the editorial argued. The lawmakers should have second thoughts. Bids for demolition came in last week at nearly twice the price estimated by the design firm, Clark Patterson Lee, that Mr. Neuhaus and his allies have enlisted. Instead of $3.9 million, as Clark Patterson predicted, the two bids topped $7.4 million and $7.7 million, The Times Herald-Record reported on Saturday. Officials backing demolition say that debates over the Rudolph center have gone on too long. Entertaining an alternative now would mean more delays. It’s a curious argument, since county legislators themselves are the ones who have the power to expedite, or drag out, consideration of Mr. Kaufman’s plan. As the newspaper’s editorial also noted, “This urge to move on has surfaced repeatedly.” Each time, local officials have “resisted, and each time they avoided doing something irrevocable and more costly than necessary,” it said. “This time is no different.”

Question: Whose reputation is it alleged that Dan Rather set out to tarnish?

The title of “Truth,” a gripping, beautifully executed journalistic thriller about the events that ended Dan Rather’s career as a CBS anchorman, should probably be appended with a question mark. More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well written and acted that it conveys a convincing illusion of veracity. Just as there are conspiracy theorists who will never be satisfied with the Warren Commission report on the Kennedy assassination, there are some who passionately believe that Mr. Rather and his producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) conspired to tarnish George W. Bush’s reputation.

Question: When did Kiev ask the US for help?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States. Its request for a sophisticated antitank missile went nowhere, as Washington feared it would just encourage Russia to send more weapons and men to Ukraine. What eventually arrived was basic training.

Question: Who did Russian's invaded last year in unmarked unmarked unifrom?

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What is the name of the boy that ran out of peach labels?

I am especially partial to these kinds of “work” books, these generally antiquated, patient things, that instead of telling a story directly, indirectly relate the inevitably moving story of a person getting up every day, sufficiently hopeful that something will be yielded via an extravagant, chaotic gathering of data. I confess I use these “work” books the way other people use alcohol or exercise or SSRIs or sleeping pills — I turn to them for an altered state. Opening “Wild Talents” to a random page, I find Fort narrating how as a kid he had run out of everything but peach labels for the tinned food at his parents’ store, and so labeled all the tins — from tins of plums to tins of string beans — as peaches. Then, obliquely, he connects this to a string of unsolved murders across time and space.

Question: What is the name of the perfume store?

That said, his more forward-looking items — I tried on an excellent bomber with an embroidered bee on the chest ($1,890) — show a possible pathway through the tension. But several of the other shops here feel deeply superfluous: say, the Hermès perfumery, which is right next to a Davidoff of Geneva cigar shop. A newsstand sells magazines like Sleek and The Great Discontent along with matcha-flavored mini Oreos. And truly functional stores seem like outliers. What will become of humble, excellent Kamakura Shirts, relegated to a side corridor on the second floor, if the local business crowd doesn’t find it? No one is coming to ground zero to buy an expertly cut oxford shirt.

Question: Why didn't technology reporter Farhad Manjoo have a joke prepared for Saturday?

Each Saturday, Farhad Manjoo and Mike Isaac, technology reporters at The New York Times, review the week’s news, offering analysis and maybe a joke or two about the most important developments in the tech industry. Farhad: Howdy, Mike! What’s going on with you? Sorry, I don’t have some kind of funny intro this week. I’m just pretty tired. I need a nap. Mike: I had a root canal on Friday and my dog won’t stop eating our drywall. Other than that, life is grand. Farhad: Sounds fantastic. OK, let’s go through some tech news. Apple announced it sold 13 million new iPhones in its opening weekend — which, like everything with Apple, some people thought was really awesome and others thought was meh. Google unveiled some new Nexus phones, tablets and a Chromecast streaming device. Those were fine and also unexciting — smartphones changed everything and yet, man, are they boring. Mike: I have a seriously difficult time caring about phones now. Every announcement is just “look at this cool new processor we put inside.” Yawn.

Answer: I’m just pretty tired.

Question: Which player on the team is currently 32 years old?

That is not even half the question of what Bayern needs to know. The team against Barcelona was gutted by injuries, most importantly to its flying wingers, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry. But it was also without the key defenders David Alaba and Holger Badstuber, and aches and fatigue also affected some who did play, like Xabi Alonso, Philipp Lahm and Bastian Schweinsteiger. The Germans among those players deny themselves the excuse that the Champions League semifinals they lost last year and this year sandwiched an event that was just as important to them, and arguably more so: the 2014 World Cup. Age is becoming a factor to the German club, too. Six from the Bavarian team — which peaked two years ago when it won the treble of the Champions League, the Bundesliga and the German Cup in the same season — are now over 30. That need not be a terminal age for a player today, thanks to improved medical and dietary care and rosters that are large enough to rotate star players. However, Ribéry and Robben may never again reach the peak they did in 2013 under Jupp Heynckes’s final season as coach. Ribéry is 32 now and Robben is 31. Alonso is 33, Lahm 31, and dear old Schweinsteiger, though only just 30, looks what he is — a ferocious competitor who has pushed himself through countless knocks and strains while playing for both club and country.

Question: What time period is John referring back to?

“But, but ...” “When I started out,” he explained, “I was invited by the founder of our company for drinks and steak. And I tried to pay for our dinner, which ended up about $200 — and this was in the ’70s, when $200 meant something. He yanked my wallet from me and said, ‘John, I invited you to dinner; that means you’re my guest. And if you’re my guest, that means I’m supposed to take care of you. And if I’m going to take care of you, that means I’ve got your bill.’ ” He continued. “And my boss said, ‘What kind of boss would I be — what kind of man would I be — if I made my worker or guest, who I know makes far less money than me, pay for the meal? That’s just a pathetic move that shows I have no empathy. That’s not a good philosophy to live by. So I pay. The good person always offers to pay; and the wealthier of the two always does.’ ” “Can we at least go Dutch?” I responded to the executive.

Question: How much of the grain in coming from aquifer depleted areas?

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: What position did Michael S. Dukakis hold during his campaign against George Bush in 1988?

Mr. Atwater managed George Bush’s 1988 campaign against Michael S. Dukakis, the Massachusetts governor, a race that featured one of the most devastating political ads in American history. It discussed Willie Horton, a black murderer who escaped from the Massachusetts prison system while on a weekend furlough and raped a white woman and stabbed her husband. Mr. Atwater denied having a role in the ad, which was sponsored by a political action committee. But he said part of his plan to defeat Mr. Dukakis was to “make Willie Horton his running mate.” “It is certainly true the Bushes like to win, and have never kept their Lee Atwaters and their Karl Roves on a short leash, when anything and everything was required,” Mr. Draper said. Jeb Bush’s team, led by his pugnacious campaign manager, Danny Diaz, can also be feisty.

Question: In what is  Ms. Schoenhals working at the moment?

Next Thing Ms. Schoenhals is plotting to wave her viral wand on bigger screens. A film adaptation of “White Girl Problems” is in the pipeline from Lionsgate. She would like to turn Cosmo Sex Tips into a half-hour TV show in which “various comedians and actors act out the sexy tips,” she said. And she is also writing a TV pilot centered on a young woman in Los Angeles who works at a vintage store that doubles as a drug front. “What could be funnier than a bunch of white girls juggling selling drugs and vintage clothing?” she said.

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: Does Navy's device have Bluetooth or wireless capabilities?

“I love you,” the man responds, and then, before signing off, “I’m making a video right now.” That video — the one posted on YouTube — was a promotion commissioned by Navdy, one of a handful of start-up companies bringing a futuristic spin to the debate over distracted driving, and how to curb it. The devices project driving information and data streamed from a smartphone into a driver’s field of view. There are several versions of this nascent technology, but they generally work by using a projection device that wirelessly picks up information from the phone and uses sophisticated optics to allow the information — maps, speed, incoming texts, caller identification and even social media notifications — to hover above the dashboard. Hand gestures or voice commands allow drivers to answer a call or hang up.

Question: What body of water do Jessie and Virginia play in?

“It may be a maternal refusal to face facts,” says Mann plaintively when challeged about her fine distinctions. “I only wish that people looked at the pictures the way I do.” As Mann and I sit on the steps of the cabin at the 400-acre farm she owns with her brothers, Jessie and Virginia are splashing in the Maury River below, having stripped as soon we arrived. Most of the photographs in the family series were taken here, deep in the woods, miles from electricity. A flood has recently wrecked the place. With the wind billowing the curtains from the paneless windows behind us, Mann watches her children and talks about her fears for them and for the pictures. “Their lives have been so fulfilling,” she says sadly. “Adults have treated them with respect. They have no idea what’s out there in the world. I know what to be afraid of. They don’t. “When I went to that Federal prosecutor, she said: ‘Do you know what you really have to watch for? Someone who sees these pictures and moves to Lexington and ingratiates himself into your family life. They’ll come after Jessie and Virginia because they seem so pliable, so broken in.’

Question: What reason is given for TMZ publishing a story that is seemingly lacking in credibility?

4:05 p.m. Line: Chargers by 9 The supposed quarterback controversy in Cleveland may be about page views more than reality. TMZ reported that some Browns starters were pushing for Johnny Manziel to regain the starting position. But players have flatly denied it. “My first take was that it sounded like a story that came from The Onion and not TMZ, not that TMZ’s really a reputable news source with hard-hitting journalism,” Joe Thomas, the team’s left tackle, said at a charity event. “But to me, it was just something that was crafted from thin air.”

Question: Who is the lead prosecutor?

The government and defense have been locked in increasingly intense battles, some voiced through objections in court, others occurring out of earshot of the jury and the news media; the contents of some of those have been made available later through transcripts. The only testimony Thursday concerned the conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face in the supermax penitentiary in Colorado, sometimes called the ADX, where he is likely to go if the jury sentenced him to life in prison. William Weinreb, the lead prosecutor, told the judge in a sidebar that the prison conditions that Mr. Tsarnaev would face might be the most crucial factor weighed by the jury. “The jury cares a lot about this,” Mr. Weinreb said, according to a transcript. “We’re talking about maybe the most important thing for them.”
