Question: Where is the Romana Royale still at?

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.

Answer: into the hotel’s dungeon

Question: What does Mr. Jeffries consider stop-and-frisk?

“What you’ve done, you’ve implemented a federal court order,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrat from Brooklyn, said last month. “That’s all that happened.” Mr. Jeffries is one of several elected officials who have chafed at the mayor’s continued support for the so-called broken windows policing strategy. As with the stop-and-frisk approach, they say, the aggressive enforcement of minor offenses unfairly targets young black and Hispanic men. Mr. de Blasio has said broken windows must evolve with the times.

Question: What is withheld from them?

A legal fight over the struggle for ownership of an artwork is hardly the stuff of high drama. And the screenplay can’t find a way to make that conflict, or the ethical and moral issues involved, compelling beyond the obvious guessing game of who will win. Maria’s ambivalence about continuing to pursue what sometimes seems to be a hopeless quest is the dramatic core of the film. Once she and Randy arrive in Vienna, the paperwork concerning the painting’s history is withheld from them. Only with the help of a local journalist (Daniel Brühl) can they penetrate the wall of secrecy and evasion and learn that the painting, commissioned by Adele’s husband, and later acquired by the Belvedere’s duplicitous curator, belonged not to Adele, but to her husband, who willed it to his heirs.

Question: Which streaming service did the department use?

Police departments around the country have been moving with unusual speed to equip officers with body cameras to film their often edgy encounters with the public. But the adoption of these cameras has created a new conflict over who has the right to view the recordings. In Seattle, where a dozen officers started wearing body cameras in a pilot program in December, the department has set up its own YouTube channel, broadcasting a stream of blurred images to protect the privacy of people filmed. Much of this footage is uncontroversial; one scene shows a woman jogging past a group of people and an officer watching her, then having a muted conversation with people whose faces have been obscured.

Question: What matters in comedy just as much as jokes?

Plot has always mattered in comedy, of course, but not as much as jokes. In his influential screenwriting guide “Story,” Robert McKee argues that comedy, unlike drama, “allows the writer to halt narrative drive” with scenes that serve no purpose other than getting laughs. In television, sitcoms have traditionally relied on thin narratives stretched over seasons (Will Sam and Diane get together on “Cheers”? Will Jim and Pam on “The Office”?) that make it easy to follow the story from week to week.

Question: Who is able to buy Dortmund's best players?

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 game brought both individuals together despite thier skills?

“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: where she earned a doctorate ?

“But there was an acceptance and a respect between us,” Dr. Fahs said. “Every woman there was respected and taught to have strong opinions. I spent my junior year in Paris, and came back to a campus that was up in arms about the invasion of Cambodia. The Princeton boys came down to lead us, but we were Sweet Briar women and we had learned to be leaders. We stayed in charge.” The Sweet Briar finishing-school moniker hit her only once, when she was at graduate school back in Michigan, where she earned a doctorate in health management and policy. “What were you doing at a place like Sweet Briar?” her adviser asked. By the late 1960s, colleges and universities across the country were struggling to remake themselves, roiled by social revolution, the civil rights and antiwar movements and the nascent feminist advances. In the fall of 1967, Dr. Fah’s classmate Michela English arrived in Lynchburg wearing the uniform of young women everywhere: Pappagallo shoes, a Villager dress and a circle pin.

Question: What type of effective response did the government have?

Even if China’s stock markets end their dizzying falls — and analysts say there is still room to tumble even after a respite on Thursday — the sense of supreme control that once cloaked the Communist Party leadership may take longer to recover. Across China, many of the millions of middle-class investors have been asking why the party and the government talked up the market in the months leading up to the recent plunge, and then bumbled in their efforts to prevent the rout.

Question: What did Harris say when people applauded Oyelowo's name?

This year, in addition to Ms. Arquette’s speech, the question of race in Hollywood was addressed with both humor — in his opening monologue, Mr. Harris made a barbed allusion to the lack of diversity among the Academy by saying, “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest, sorry, brightest” — and emotion. The latter came at the hands of actors, musicians and others who wanted to express indignation that the director of “Selma,” Ava DuVernay, wasn’t nominated and neither was David Oyelowo, who played the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When the audience applauded Mr. Oyelowo, who participated in a bit with Mr. Harris, the host said with a smirk, “Oh sure, now you like him.”

Question: What political party is Deborah J Glick?

Assemblywoman Deborah J. Glick, a Democrat whose district includes the area and who was a plaintiff in the case, said the decision “puts the limited open space that we jealously guard and protect totally at risk everywhere in the city.” Andrew Berman, the executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, said his organization was consulting its lawyers about any other legal recourse that might stop or alter the expansion. “We’re already suffering from an extreme over-concentration of N.Y.U.-related uses,” Mr. Berman said. “Thousands of additional people and millions of additional square feet of construction is eventually going to make the Village feel like a company town.”

Question: Who was the front-runner?

The debate probably won’t change much in the polling. Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded us why she’s the front-runner, with her experience, command of the issues and strength in communicating ideas. She seemed both at ease and fearless. It helped that the candidates actually valued time to discuss issues. One of the biggest applause lines was Senator Bernie Sanders’s quip to Mrs. Clinton, “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” Supporters of Mr. Sanders embraced his passionate critiques, but his performance may not convert those skeptical of his ability to broaden his appeal.

Question: Who do the Koch Brothers trade compliments with sometimes?

Once known for grim letters to fellow wealthy Americans warning of socialist apocalypse, Charles G. Koch now promotes research on the link between freedom and everyday happiness.

Instead of trading insults with Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate leader, Mr. Koch and his brother, David H.

Question: What do car key fobs include to help prevent theft?

Tesla is not alone in offering those sorts of options; BMW, General Motors and Volvo, among other manufacturers, offer apps that perform similar functions. They are just the latest step in the evolution of the car key away from the standard metal shaft used for decades, and still often used today, to unlock and start cars. Now, car keys — or key fobs, as they are also known — include chips to prevent theft, cannot be duplicated at the local locksmith and often never have to be removed from pockets. But despite the advances, it will be a while, if ever, before smartphone apps entirely replace keys that drivers carry around. Too many problems exist — like a slow data network or a dead phone battery — to rely on smartphones alone, experts say. “The physical key will be with us for years to come,” said Mark Baker, director of engineering for ZF TRW, a manufacturer of automobile systems.

Question: In California, where did Ms. Harper bring her son?

Ms. Jefferson said Ms. Harper had described bringing her son to the Del Amo Behavioral Health System in Torrance, Calif., near where they had lived before moving to Oregon. “He calls and says, ‘Take me out, take me out,’ ” Ms. Jefferson said, recalling her conversations with Ms. Harper. “She didn’t take him out until the doctor said he was ready to get out.” One piece of advice Ms. Harper dispensed online for a parent with an autistic infant was to start reading to the child as soon as possible and to use expressive gestures. An online posting from six years ago included the unlikely revelation that she used to read to her son a book by Donald J. Trump, the real estate mogul now running for president, who recently suggested that childhood vaccines cause autism — a claim Ms. Harper dismisses in her postings.

Question: How did Mr. Maduro respond to the Obama administration's ban of certain Venezuelan officials?

In an apparent response to the Obama administration’s recent decision to ban certain Venezuelan officials suspected of human rights violations from traveling to the United States, Mr. Maduro unveiled a no-fly list of his own, declaring former President George W. Bush; former Vice President Dick Cheney; and George Tenet, a former director of the C.I.A., personae non gratae. For good measure, Mr. Maduro warned that the American diplomats who remained in Venezuela must clear any meetings, presumably with anyone, with his government.

Question: Who stabbed Mr. Watkins?

But Mr. Hincapie now maintains he gave a false confession after a detective beat him. He testified in February he was walking down an escalator to the platform when the murder occurred. He was looking for a friend and had tarried at the turnstiles to flirt with some girls, he said. His story was buttressed by the testimony of Luis Montero, who testified he recalled Mr. Hincapie’s being with him at the turnstiles just before the commotion erupted on the platform below. The police arrested Mr. Montero on suspicion of taking part in the mugging as well, but later dropped charges against him. He never confessed. Another man convicted in the attack, Anthony Anderson, took the stand and testified he did not remember Mr. Hincapie’s being on the platform when another teenager, Yul Gary Morales, stabbed Mr. Watkins in the chest. Ms. Santana, a 45-year-old hospital worker, also corroborated Mr. Hincapie’s claim. Having read about the hearing, she voluntarily came forward this year and swore on the stand she had seen the murder but had not seen Mr. Hincapie among the men attacking the Watkins family.

Question: How many goals did the Rangers score on Friday night?

Harvey has been described as a good-luck charm. After throwing a gem on May 1 against the Nationals, the next afternoon he was at the Rangers’ game, sitting near center ice at the Garden, about eight rows up. He was one of the first celebrities saluted on the video board. Then he appeared to leave after the second period, presumably so he could get to Citi Field in time for the Mets’ game that night. The Rangers eventually won that game, 3-2, and on Friday, after the Mets had finished, they pulled out a 2-1 overtime victory. On Friday night, the lowly Phillies kept Harvey busy. His start was another test in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, to see how he would perform if his routine kept getting tweaked. In the Mets’ ongoing quest to keep him healthy, they had started manipulating the rotation, taking advantage of quirks in the schedule to give Harvey extra days off.

Question: In what year was Pete Rose barred from baseball?

ROSE ON HIS BEST BEHAVIOR A product of working-class west-side Cincinnati, Pete Rose, baseball’s career hits leader, was barred from the game in 1989 and finally acknowledged in 2004 that he bet on baseball. Now 74, Rose has petitioned for reinstatement, and there had been hopes locally that something might happen in time for the All-Star Game. Those hopes faded last month after ESPN said it obtained a notebook that shows Rose bet on baseball during his last season as an active player in 1986, not just afterward as manager.

Question: What did people worry about if silver was found guilty?

The Monday session had been the subject of great anticipation over the weekend, as Assembly members discussed with one another how the situation might unfold, and considered who could succeed Mr. Silver. Some worried that the charges against him could taint all Assembly Democrats, hurting members when they seek re-election. Some long-serving members, on the other hand, were concerned that Mr. Silver was being unfairly condemned before standing trial, and were wary about seeking his ouster before he had a chance to defend himself in court.

Question: Who is a major regional power in the Middle East?

Iran is a major regional power. Keeping it fully within the structures of the Nonproliferation Treaty is an important element in building the rule of law in a region that is being torn apart by national, religious and local conflict. We very much hope that our legislative colleagues in the United States Congress, in their deliberations on these issues, will bear in mind the multilateral nature of the agreement, the value of sustaining that coalition for its successful implementation, and the views that we have expressed. We trust also that they appreciate that these views are shared by a majority of the United States’ most loyal allies, including the members of the European Union and the European members of NATO.

Question: What country needed instructions from the Americans?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Who did Celeb Teicher share the stage with?

Question: How does Sally think adults have treated her children?

“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 should you not make to the police?

Amid the troubles besetting tourists coming to France, the ministry website had warnings for French tourists going to America: Do not act too “Latin,” with sexual behavior and jokes, and “keep calm in all circumstances,” given America’s scorn for gun control, which the French find incomprehensible. They were also advised not to make any aggressive gestures at the police. Romain Nadal, a charming ministry spokesman, was eager to assure me that the “strong love story” between the countries had not soured. He shook his head at Courtney Love’s angry tweet that the Uber ferocity had made Paris more dangerous than Baghdad. Nadal, now 47, fondly reminisced about a Greyhound bus trip he took around America when he was 18. “I went to Tallahassee,” he said proudly. “We love the contrast. We love Death Valley.

Question: How would he feel about attending a gay wedding?

First, these issues are difficult and personal, and I don’t presume that my approach is always right. Second, details matter. My closest gay friends are fairly secular. But I would be uncomfortable attending same-sex vows in the style of a Catholic mass — or being hired to photograph such a ceremony. I don’t think that discomfort should be grounds for shutting down a business. Well, that discomfort may seem religious, but segregationists felt justified by scripture too. They got over it; their churches got over it; so will yours.

Question: Through Iran, the route is much longer and costlier between Syria and what country?

“They’re not closed — there’s a lot of smuggling, people have to live” in Syria, said Savas M. Ozaydemir, a leading Eskisehir industrialist with holdings in roofing tile manufacturing, wiring manufacture and real estate. “But of course, it might be 30 percent of what it was.” The route around Iraq and Syria through Iran is much longer and costlier — and Iran has imposed a hefty fee on Turkish trucks, ostensibly because they may fill up on subsidized diesel fuel while in Iran. Turkey’s strong support for democracy in Syria and for the removal of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, an Iranian ally, have not helped.

Answer: Iraq

Ozaydemir, a leading Eskisehir industrialist with holdings in roofing tile manufacturing, wiring manufacture and real estate. “But of course, it might be 30 percent of what it was.” <hl> The route around Iraq and Syria through Iran is much longer and costlier — and Iran has imposed a hefty fee on Turkish trucks, ostensibly because they may fill up on subsidized diesel fuel while in Iran. <hl> Turkey’s strong support for democracy in Syria and for the removal of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, an Iranian ally, have not helped.

Question: Who is responsible for counting the water used by Needles?

PAUL MATUSKA is the closest thing the American West has to a water cop, and his beat includes Needles, Calif., a beleaguered desert town midway between Flagstaff, Ariz., and Los Angeles. About 4,800 people live in Needles, on the western bank of the Colorado River where it cuts a swath in the mud between California and Arizona. The old railroad town is the gateway to the farmland of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation across the river. Mr. Matuska, a hydrologist, is one of about a dozen accountants for the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which controls water distribution along the lower half of the Colorado River. His job is to count the water used by cities like Needles and the farms around them — lands close to the essential Colorado — and make sure they don’t take more than their share of the river.

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

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

Question: what complaint has hindered investment banks of their ability to provide liquidity in the market?

The Institute of International Finance, a trade group that represents global banks, also released a letter on Wednesday that warned of the huge buildup of assets in the bond market. The institute’s views on the topic tend to reflect its main constituency, investment banks, which have complained that excessive regulation has hindered their ability to provide liquidity in the market. BlackRock has argued that bond E.T.F.s, and its increasing size, are healthful for the markets in general and that in a low interest rate environment it is to be expected that long-term investors like insurance companies and pension funds invest in higher yielding securities to lock in better returns. Moreover, the industry has said that firms like BlackRock do not invest their own capital in these types of securities — as investment banks did before the crisis — and do not rely on leverage to bolster returns.

Question: Where is Joan Shelley from?

Ms. Shelley is from Louisville, Ky., where she has recorded in duos and groups; “Electric Ursa” is her second solo album. Her songs hold echoes of the area’s Appalachian heritage in their unhurried picking and Celtic-tinged melodies, and she sings with the centered clarity of a mountain balladeer. But her songs aren’t necessarily traditionalist. She also invokes another school of American and British acoustic music: the guitar meditations of musicians like John Fahey, Davy Graham and Vashti Bunyan, who found more hypnotic uses for elements of folk styles. Although Ms. Shelley leads a full band on her albums, at Union Pool, her backup was ample with just two acoustic guitars — her own and Nathan Salsburg’s — and the occasional vocal harmonies of Glen Dentinger. A few cyclical, undulating, fingerpicked chords were enough for each song, with Ms. Shelley pinpointing the rhythm and Mr. Salsburg entwining it with touches of filigree. Mr. Salsburg, also from Louisville, had started the evening with guitar instrumentals (including a folkified version of the Smiths’ “Reel Around the Fountain”); Nathan Bowles, a banjoist and singer who also shared the bill, joined Ms. Shelley’s group for one song.

Question: What did Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel open to view her uncles archives?

Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel, 51, who is based in Paris, was trained in working with diamonds and precious colored stones by her grandfather, the well-known diamond specialist Marcel Rubel. Her 20-year career has been built on collaborations with such top French jewelers as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Boucheron. She also has worked at Fred and Mauboussin. Three years ago, she opened an old trunk in the attic of a family country house to rediscover the forgotten archives of her great uncles, John and Robert Rubel. She said the hundreds of drawings, gouaches, patents and even scale models of their designs revealed the unusual style and originality of their Art Deco creations.

Question: Douglas MacArthur is associated with what war?

Cuts in food aid are leading Syrian refugees to take desperate measures (“Child Labor Rises Sharply in Syria Unrest,” news article, July 2). This is a terrible situation for Syrian children to be forced to beg and work just to get a meal. But we can do something about it. After World War II, Gens. Douglas MacArthur and Lucius Clay set up school feeding for millions of children in Japan and Germany, respectively. These meals saved a whole generation of children. The school feeding gives children nutrition, but it also gets them in school and learning. It gets them away from child labor. The United Nations World Food Program has some limited school feeding for Syrian refugee children, but it needs a big expansion in funding and support.

Question: The choreographer that Ms. Clyne worked with said that Ms. Clyne's music has great what to it?

Ms. Clyne’s attention to craft across different media is all the more noteworthy because she started out as a composer of electronic music — an intangible art form. Ms. Clyne, who was born in London, spoke about her creative process during a recent interview over tea and McVitie’s biscuits in her sunlit apartment in Brooklyn. To avoid becoming bogged down in habit and “tendencies,” she seeks out conversations across disciplines — whether in collaboration with choreographers and visual artists or, as in the case of the “Night Ferry” collages, with her own inner painter. “It was like a timeline,” she said of the seven panels, which each represented three minutes of music. “I knew I wanted it to have a very turbulent beginning. I’d paint that, and then I’d write it. It would keep me on track.” The Miller program includes “Fits and Starts,” for solo cello and electronics, which she wrote for the choreographer Kitty McNamee and in which an increasingly lyrical and impassioned cello line coalesces out of skittish and distorted beginnings. In a phone interview, Ms. McNamee described Ms. Clyne’s musical language as “very visual,” adding: “It has incredible tension and release, which is very helpful to me. It has great shape to it.”

Answer: shape

It has great shape to it.”

Question: How much did President Obama's budget call for Amtrak funding?

Amtrak was created in 1971 to bring together struggling rail lines, and officials have pushed for it to become financially self-sufficient so that it no longer needs federal subsidies. That never happened. The Northeast Corridor routes, including the high-speed Acela line, make money, but not enough to cover its upkeep and make up for losses on less popular, long-haul routes in rural parts of the country that politicians from those areas have fought to keep. While President Obama is calling for $2.45 billion for Amtrak next year — about $1 billion more than the current year’s subsidy — Republicans in the House passed a bill in June to reduce spending on Amtrak by about $250 million. On Friday, Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, a Republican from Miami and chairman of a House subcommittee on transportation, said Amtrak’s operations were vital, especially along the Northeast Corridor. He said the House measure fully funded Amtrak’s safety and operational needs, although it would trim capital grants and other funding. Mr. Diaz-Balart argued that Amtrak had a “slew of internal financial issues that no level of congressional funding can fix.”

Question: What is the name of the chapter where the stry expands into the future?

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.
