Question: What is the location called in SoHo?

We were eating dinner at Houseman, a restaurant opened by the chef Ned Baldwin on the once-quiet far-western side of SoHo, now called Hudson Square. It is a spare, welcoming room, with walls of white brick, warm lighting, smooth wooden tables the color of Bridgehampton sand — a neighborhood restaurant for those who live amid art and commerce, who travel widely, who want to eat simply and well. There was succulent roast chicken in front of us, and a confitted turkey leg accompanied by bacon and prunes and a slab of grilled bread, a shatteringly crisp fist of fried haddock, a few fingers of juicy sausage. There was a plate of roasted carrots with cottage cheese and pumpkin seeds. There were soft, perfect leeks with fried cauliflower, anchovies and bread crumbs that caught the light from the flickering votive candles on the table. This all made for superb eating.

Question: What did Sandy do around Ithaca with friends?

On a quiet Friday morning in November 2010, Sandy sat down with a mug of honey-ginger tea to read two books that Daryl had brought her. By this point, a year and a half after her amnestic M.C.I. diagnosis, she had progressed to what Duffy said was Alzheimer’s disease. She had retired from Cornell, but she was doing well. She could still travel alone to familiar destinations, including Austin, Tex., where Emily was living. Jeremy had temporarily moved back home to be with her. She could read novels, even difficult ones like Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road.” She played tennis, gardened and went for walks around Ithaca with a handful of friends, most of them former colleagues from Cornell. She saw a few psychotherapy patients. One would later say that even though Sandy was having some trouble remembering words, “it didn’t really matter. In a therapy relationship you’re talking more about emotions — and in that regard, she didn’t miss a beat.”

Question: On what team does Joe Thomas play?

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: What does state television use to promote progress and water management?

More than 15 percent of the approximately 150,000 acres of pistachio trees in the main producing area in Kerman Province have died in the last decade or so. A nationwide network of dams, often heralded by state television as a sign of progress and water management, is adding to water shortages in many places while helping deplete groundwater. In Isfahan, the once-iconic Zayanderud River is now a dusty scar the size of the Seine snaking through the city, because officials were forced to divert its water to the desert city of Yazd.

Question: For what crime was Raj Rajaratnam convicted?

Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund magnate whose insider trading conviction in 2011 represented the government’s first major victory, also challenged wiretapped evidence the government collected against him. He argued that the government’s wiretap application failed to disclose that the S.E.C. was already pursuing a conventional investigation. While the judge overseeing Mr. Rajaratnam’s trial ultimately admitted the recordings as evidence, he admonished the government, saying “the omissions here are troubling to say the least.” After Mr. Rajaratnam’s arrest, prosecutors and the F.B.I. turned the spotlight onto Level Global and others, setting up the Nov. 22, 2010, raid. During the raid, one of the items the F.B.I. collected was a “list of artwork” belonging to Mr. Ganek in addition to a DVD that contained “extractions” from his iPhone and BlackBerry. In the course of the raid, the F.B.I. also seized a folder labeled “S/A/C/ Correspondence,” with a name that was redacted, according to the warrant materials.

Question: What is the name of the director that conveys this rough landscape in the movie?

Before long, the men are tramping through the desert, where step by step, over one and then another crest, they walk and periodically speak, sharing meals and assorted dangers. With the director of photography Guillaume Deffontaines, Mr. Oelhoffen conveys the striking, multicolored glories of this rough landscape, with all its sun-shot gradations of red and brown, without descending into picture-postcard banality. (The movie was shot in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.) Many of the movie’s most effective scenes involve the men just walking through this extraordinary landscape, the warring splendor and harshness of their surroundings — equally inviting and foreboding — as seemingly at odds as the attraction-repulsion that initially defines Daru and Mohamed’s relationship.

Question: Who was Mr. Connell's longtime editor?

Back when it was the Glad Hand, a guy named John Hamilton tended the bar. “We used to sit in there and drink beer after he closed the place,” Mr. Seymour recalled, “and plot what the No Name would be like. It was going to be Sausalito’s living room, and it would be crowded from the day it opened.” I didn’t see any reason to go inside Scoma’s; it didn’t seem that the Glad Hand spirit would have survived. After all, the guys who drank there were plotting their escape back in the 1950s. So I continued up the Bridgeway to Poggio, the Italian restaurant where I had planned to meet Jack Shoemaker, Mr. Connell’s longtime editor. Mr. Shoemaker is Bay Area literary history: He has also edited or published Robert Hass, Guy Davenport, Wendell Berry, M.F.K. Fisher and Anne Lamott. But Mr. Connell was one of his first writers, and the No Name years came at the beginning of a 50-year friendship.

Question: What government does Emmanuel Nahshon represent?

The Israeli government, which has become increasingly concerned by the Boycott, Divest and Sanction movement, reacted swiftly, describing the church’s positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as distorted and historically biased against Israel. “The U.C.C. resolutions on the Middle East conflict have reflected the most radical politics for more than a decade, and in no way reflect a moral stance or reality-based position,” said Emmanuel Nahshon, spokesman for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “People of faith ought to be acting to help Israel and the Palestinians to renew efforts to achieve peace, rather than endlessly demonizing one party in the conflict — in our view, the aggrieved party.” StandWithUs, a pro-Israeli advocacy group based in Los Angeles, condemned what it called “anti-Israel extremists within the U.C.C.” for promoting both resolutions debated on Tuesday. “In doing so, they severely damaged the U.C.C.’s relationship with the vast majority of the Jewish community, promoted hatred and discrimination against Israelis, and undermined efforts to achieve a just peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” the group said in a statement on its website.

Question: What is Boire's plan to change Barnes and Noble's image?

“We didn’t have any money, and my mother was a voracious reader,” he said. “I remember telling a friend, when I grow up, I want to be able to afford hardcover books.” Mr. Boire, who took the helm as chief executive of Barnes & Noble in September, still seems to have a soft spot for physical books. Walking through the first floor of a Barnes & Noble store in Union Square in Manhattan recently, Mr. Boire couldn’t help himself from reflexively straightening the jagged piles of books on the display tables so that the spines lined up neatly. Now Mr. Boire, 54, the former chief executive of Sears Canada and a retail veteran who has worked at Brookstone, Best Buy and Toys “R” Us, is under pressure to reverse the fortunes of the beleaguered bookstore chain, which has been stung in recent years by the rise of Amazon, steep losses from its Nook e-reader division and a string of store closings. To that end, Mr. Boire is leading a push to rebrand Barnes & Noble as more than just a bookstore by expanding its offerings of toys, games, gadgets and other gifts and reshaping the nation’s largest bookstore chain into a “lifestyle brand.” “Everything we do around learning, personal growth and development fits our brand,” Mr. Boire said. “There’s a lot of opportunity.”

Question: Which country did the writer go for the first foreign assignment

WHAT a reporter carries out grows, inevitably, from the beliefs and standards carried in. For me, those were set out by the Times editor who first assigned me abroad in 1976, A. M. Rosenthal, and by his successors over the years. Abe called for “keeping the paper straight.” He issued the dictum before my first foreign assignment: apartheid South Africa, a country justly seen as an open-and-shut case of oppression. But even there the need to keep the paper straight demanded, Abe said, that we tell not only the story of the oppressed, but that of all the other major players in South Africa’s tragedy, including the Afrikaner people who built the fortress of racial prejudice that the country had become. Those stories might surprise us, he said, and give us a more textured sense of the truth.

Question: Who is the top editor?

Encouragingly, some smaller papers have redoubled their investigative efforts, proving that a large staff is not necessary to do important work. At The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., the top editor, Mitch Pugh, has created a four-person investigative team in a newsroom of only 72 staffers. Their series on deadly domestic violence brought reform — and won this year’s Pulitzer for Public Service. “If we’re going to ask readers to spend their money on us, we have to make investigative and public service work a cornerstone,” Mr. Pugh told me. Meanwhile, new players have arrived. In addition to national nonprofits — including ProPublica, the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Center for Public Integrity — many cities now have local ones. (The Texas Tribune probably is foremost.) Local public radio stations are also making a push: At KPCC, for example, the public radio station in Southern California, Melanie Sill’s staff built a database on police shootings. There is “a growing commitment to do more investigative and accountability reporting at stations around the country,” said Jim Schachter of WNYC, which won a national award this year for investigating abuse of power by the city’s Police Department. NPR’s news chief, Michael Oreskes, told me that supporting local investigative work is a major emphasis for him. This activity helps explain the all-time high membership in Investigative Reporters and Editors, which brought a record 1,800 journalists to Philadelphia last June, including many from alternative papers and television stations. I found the sense of mission there invigorating, as young journalists jammed into sessions to hone their craft. But what about the future? Investigative reporting’s transition won’t be a smooth one, said Richard Tofel, president of ProPublica. With newspapers still dominant in many cities, there’s not enough of a gap to create great need for new players, funded in new ways, including through philanthropy.

There is “a growing commitment to do more investigative and accountability reporting at stations around the country,” said Jim Schachter of WNYC, which won a national award this year for investigating abuse of power by the city’s Police Department. NPR’s news chief, Michael Oreskes, told me that supporting local investigative work is a major emphasis for him. This activity helps explain the all-time high membership in Investigative Reporters and Editors, which brought a record 1,800 journalists to Philadelphia last June, including many from alternative papers and television stations. I found the sense of mission there invigorating, as young journalists jammed into sessions to hone their craft. But what about the future? Investigative reporting’s transition won’t be a smooth one, said Richard Tofel, president of ProPublica. With newspapers still dominant in many cities, there’s not enough of a gap to create great need for new players, funded in new ways, including through philanthropy.

Encouragingly, some smaller papers have redoubled their investigative efforts, proving that a large staff is not necessary to do important work. At The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., the top editor, <hl> Mitch Pugh <hl>, has created a four-person investigative team in a newsroom of only 72 staffers. Their series on deadly domestic violence brought reform — and won this year’s Pulitzer for Public Service. “If we’re going to ask readers to spend their money on us, we have to make investigative and public service work a cornerstone,” Mr. Pugh told me. Meanwhile, new players have arrived. In addition to national nonprofits — including ProPublica, the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Center for Public Integrity — many cities now have local ones.

Question: What are the performer's wearing over their faces?

The routines are all out of shape, truncated where they should be developed further, extended way past where they should end. The performers’ impressive specialty steps — the flips, the windmills, the head spins and backspins — are sprinkled indiscriminately, losing the force they might have had. Even the dancers’ smiles are clumsy. At first I thought their bizarrely clownish grins were some comment on falsity or cultural assimilation; then I decided they were actually a misguided effort to play to the children. The show is a string of unrealized ideas. Spiritual striving is expressed not through dance but through slow-motion walking toward a video backdrop of heavenly clouds. A snatch of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” teases with a hint of nostalgic pleasure; what follows instead are performers in fright masks doing power moves in front of images of war and of the twin towers burning. Hip-hop dance can successfully address such heavy subject matter, but not like this.

Question: What does  the future of skin care start with?

LONDON — What’s being billed as the future of skin care starts suspiciously like a visit to the dentist: with a mouthwash gargle. That’s to eliminate debris that may interfere with a good saliva sample, from which DNA will be extracted and serums tailored to one’s genetic blueprint. The test is from a company called GeneU (pronounced “gene you”) and performed at its nine-month-old shop on New Bond Street, which looks like a cross between a science fiction movie set and a silver-gray-and-red-dipped Apple store — perhaps fittingly, because the DNA test is done by a flash-drive-size microchip. It’s administered by one of a handful of improbably dewy-skinned beauties who also happen to have Ph.D.s. Unlike other DNA tests, which are sent to labs and take at least two weeks to complete, GeneU’s in-store test is done in 30 minutes. Currently, it looks only at variations in two genes: one that contains instructions for how fast your body degrades collagen and the other for antioxidant protection.

Question: Who promised to support Jeremy Corbyn?

His success underlines the extent to which European political structures have been destabilized by the aftershocks of the financial crisis in 2008, with voters increasingly attracted away from the political center ground, either to the socialist left or the nationalist right. However, Mr. Corbyn’s program, which includes nationalizing energy and rail companies, has shallow support among fellow Labour lawmakers, a fact that suggests he may struggle to unite his party. Several senior party figures, including Emma Reynolds and Tristram Hunt, have already announced that they will not be serving on Mr. Corbyn’s team, though another, Hilary Benn, promised to support him. On Saturday there were jubilant scenes after the release of results showing that Mr. Corbyn had won almost 60 percent of the vote, crushing his three opponents, Yvette Cooper, Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall. “We don’t have to be unequal, it doesn’t have to be unfair, poverty isn’t inevitable,” Mr. Corbyn told a cheering audience in a short acceptance speech.

Question: What kind of company is Greentech Automotive?

When Mr. Rodham was short on cash in 2010, Mr. Clinton helped get him a job for $72,000 a year raising investments in GreenTech Automotive, an electric car company then owned by Terry McAuliffe, an old friend of Mr. Clinton’s and now the governor of Virginia. “I was complaining to my brother-in-law I didn’t have any money. And he asked McAuliffe to give me a job,” Mr. Rodham said during the court proceedings, which were the result of a lawsuit over unpaid legal bills filed by his lawyer in a child support case. A brother down on his luck seeking help from more successful siblings is a familiar story, and presidents and their families have hardly been immune from that sometimes uncomfortable situation. For the Clintons, Tony Rodham has not been the only source of embarrassment.

Question: Who did Dostum lobby?

ALMAR, Afghanistan —  At first, Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum tried to get help from his own government, lobbying the National Security Council to intervene as a Taliban offensive began making serious inroads on his home territory, a once relatively quiet northern region of Afghanistan. But after months of mostly fruitless pleading, Mr. Dostum — a feared former warlord who had brutally fought the Taliban and also provoked some of the worst excesses of the long Afghan civil war — turned back to his roots. Activating a collection of private militias in addition to some Afghan police and army units, he went charging up north in July.

Question: Where is the company etf.com headquartered?

To Mr. Faust’s point, after the fund’s approval was disclosed, shares of Eaton Vance soared 20 percent in a day as investors bet that the innovation would transform the company. Still, the asset-management industry can be slow to change, and there is no guarantee that it will rush to adopt an untried model being trumpeted by a competitor. Moreover, analysts say, exchanges like Nasdaq as well as broker dealers will have to make significant investments to accommodate the new funds. “There are a lot of operational hurdles for them to clear,” said Dave Nadig, a specialist at ETF.com, an industry research firm based in San Francisco. “That is a lot of work to do for just one product from one company.” True enough, Mr. Faust concedes.

Question: What is the Christian idea?

They’re prisoners of a cruel delusion. I don’t see how a loving God could put them in such an impossible position. Then you can add this to the popular arguments against Christianity. But again, the Christian idea is that God asks the seemingly impossible of all of us — and, fortunately forgives us when we fail. Nobody has to accept this idea, but if you do it’s compatible with a lot of pain, struggle and mystery where humanity encounters God. Especially in a faith whose “Happy Easter” can’t be separated from the cross.

Question: For how long did G.M. not disclose the defect?

The cap was criticized by many lawmakers last year when regulators imposed a penalty of $35 million on G.M. after it failed to report for more than a decade a deadly ignition defect. At the time, the defect was linked to 13 deaths. It is now linked to at least 124. The penalty was reported by Reuters and The Wall Street Journal. It could come just days after the highway safety agency’s announcement that it will overhaul a rating system for cars that has for years awarded high marks to almost all vehicles. The action is another move against the auto industry for the agency, which came under withering criticism last year from lawmakers in congressional hearings for not being aggressive enough on the industry it is charged with overseeing. Last September, an investigation by The New York Times found that, during the last decade, the agency had often been slow to identify and act on safety defects, and reluctant to use its full legal powers against automakers.

Question: What are the national colors of Brazil?

If any good has come from the Petrobras debacle it is the flickering sense that this time could be different. Part of the reason is the work of Judge Sérgio Moro, who is overseeing the investigation, officially known as Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Carwash. In Brazil, judges have wide latitude to define both the direction and scope of criminal inquiries, and Judge Moro’s willingness to pursue even the eminent and influential has made him a folk hero. During a recent visit to the courthouse where he presides in Curitiba, ribbons of yellow and green, the national colors, were tied around trees, quiet expressions of solidarity and support. Another source of public optimism can be found on the eighth floor of an office building a few miles away, in rooms that could pass for a low-budget telemarketing operation. This is home to the team of nine prosecutors working on Lava Jato, as everyone here calls it.

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.

“No matter how they explained their position, the state is falling apart,” he said in 2012. “Interethnic, interclan and intertribal conflicts continue.” He added, “And you want us to constantly repeat these mistakes in other countries?” He argued against intervention by outside powers in Syria as well, adding that Russia was “not concerned with the fate” of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Question: Where was Johannsson raised?

The United States national team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, has frequently said that he hopes his players push themselves to play in the best leagues — comments that have, at times, drawn the ire of M.L.S. officials. Despite those wishes, many prominent Americans have left European clubs to sign multimillion-dollar deals with M.L.S. Dempsey returned in 2013, and he was soon followed by Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Altidore, Mix Diskerud and Sacha Kljestan. Johannsson’s move, especially if he earns regular playing time and continues to score goals, could be good news for his national team career. In 2013, Johannsson, who was born in Alabama but raised in Iceland, changed his international allegiance to the United States after years of representing Iceland at the youth level. Since then, he has consistently been part of the national team, including the World Cup squad in 2014, when injuries limited him to one appearance. The move to the Bundesliga could signify a shift, and help Johannsson press Dempsey, 32, and Altidore, 25, on Klinsmann’s depth chart heading into qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Werder Bremen should be able to use Johannsson right away; it transferred the Argentine forward Franco Di Santo, its top scorer last season, with 13 goals, to Schalke on July 25.

Question: What would the deal improve?

If the deal is a political earthquake for Greece, it also puts the country on course for a major economic shake-up. It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make.

Question: What will happen to Mr. Abbott's policies on same-sex marriage and climate change?

That will include managing the Liberals’ governing coalition with the smaller, more conservative National Party, which is unlikely to embrace attempts by Mr. Turnbull to move to the center.

Question: What Democratic assemblyman and former speaker faces corruption charges in New York?

“We’re going to support it, including the mansion tax,” said Steven Spinola, president of the real estate board. “We’re not happy about everything, but we think it will lead to building more affordable housing.” Mr. de Blasio has also been outspoken on another contentious affordable-housing issue — the need to strengthen rent regulations to preserve the city’s existing affordable-housing stock. His proposals still face a battle in Albany, which has been thrown into turmoil in recent months by the arrest on corruption-related charges of Sheldon Silver, a Democratic assemblyman and former speaker, and Dean G.

Question: What does Leive say the rich would keep to themselves if it was that great?

I think everybody does better if they really like some aspect of what they’re doing, but work is work. We can’t all work in jobs where we feel like our heart is singing every day. There’s that old expression, “If work was that great, the rich would keep it for themselves.” The idea that your job is going to make your heart sing on a daily basis is just not true. If that’s the expectation of a 25-year-old today, they’re going to be sorely disappointed. But you can aim for a pretty good heart-singing-to-bummed-out ratio.
