Question: What was grilled as a slab?

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: Who director the film about Cobb's life?

In 1994, Stump published a biography, the subtitle of which called Cobb “the meanest man who ever played baseball.” Leerhsen describes that book as “largely fictitious yet generally unquestioned,” and also slams the movie it helped to spawn, “Cobb,” starring Tommy Lee Jones. Leerhsen cites an interview he conducted with Ron Shelton, the film’s director. Asked about the veracity of a scene in which Cobb fails in an attempt to rape a young woman at a Nevada casino, Shelton said: “That is something that Al and I came up with during the shoot. It felt like the sort of thing that Cobb might do.”

Question: Which action by the British Military does the Labour Party disapprove of?

The run-up to the vote also amounted to a low point for Jeremy Corbyn, the new leader of the opposition Labour Party. While Mr. Corbyn opposes British military action over Syria, some of Labour’s senior figures, including the party’s spokesman on foreign affairs, Hilary Benn, supported it, and Mr. Corbyn was forced to allow his lawmakers to vote freely on the issue in an effort to avoid a intraparty clash amid threatened resignations. In an impassioned speech that won a rousing reception Wednesday night, Mr. Benn argued that “every state has the right to defend itself” and asked “why would we not uphold the settled will of the United Nations?”

Question: Who did the decision apply to?

Indeed, the board wrote that its decision applied only to the Northwestern case — there was no precedent established for graduate teaching assistants or student janitors — and left open the possibility that it could re-examine the issue if college athletes brought a similar case in the future. “There may have been some sympathy for the players’ argument,” said Wilma Liebman, a former chairwoman of the N.L.R.B. “But siding with the players may have seemed like too great a leap, so this is a compromise.”

Question: Who did the American instructors recommend to help with training the Ukrainian units?

Capt. Andrii Syurkalo, a Ukrainian officer, said it was commendable that the trainers were willing to use the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal as an element in a class on the Geneva Conventions. American officers described the course work as equivalent to the latter months of basic training in the United States. The courses will train 705 Ukrainian soldiers at a cost of $19 million over six months. The Ukrainian National Guard is rotating from the front what units it can spare for the training. American instructors intend to recommend top performers to serve as trainers within other Ukrainian units, and in this way spread the instruction more broadly.

Question: What team did he help to the state championship?

He also played for the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets), the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons. For his career, he averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. More notably, he led the league three times in personal fouls, testimony to his ferocious inside play (and possibly because the refs were never crazy about him), and because he dunked so often and shot well from midrange, his career shooting percentage, .572, is the seventh highest in league history. Darryl Dawkins was born in Orlando on Jan. 11, 1957. He was raised mostly by his mother, the former Harriet James, though Mr. Tyler, his friend, said he remained close to his father, Frank Dawkins. He led Maynard Evans High School in Orlando to the Florida state championship in 1975.

Question: Who hosted the KPFA radio show where Mr. Shoemaker first heard Mr. Connell?

Over lunch, Mr. Shoemaker said that he first heard of Mr. Connell while listening to the KPFA radio show hosted by the poet Kenneth Rexroth. “He had his growly, gravelly voice,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “and he said, ‘I’ve just finished reading the best book by an American perhaps ever. “Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel” — whatever you do, get a copy, read it, get it, this is one of the great books ever.’ Rexroth had that kind of power.” So Mr. Shoemaker read that book, in 1962. Around the same time, he met Mr. Connell at the No Name, where Mr. Shoemaker had first gone with the Beat poet Lew Welch, whose work he had published. Mr. Welch was dating a local woman named Magda Cregg. “She had a son,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “who became known as Huey Lewis — he chose Lewis because he loved Lew Welch. Lewie always told me that he taught Huey Lewis how to sing.” “Sausalito had the Tides,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “which was a very famous bookstore at the time. It was owned by a couple of people who were friends of Evan’s, a couple of doors beyond No Name. And those guys, the owners, bought the Washington Square Bar and Grill, otherwise known as the Washbag, which was one of the famous North Beach literary bars, famous for their softball team — Herb Caen played, and Claes Oldenburg made them a bat.”

Question: Applicants for Malta citizenship must show what?

Malta’s citizenship program, which offers a passport to those willing to pay 1.2 million euros, about $1.3 million, has been controversial since it was introduced more than a year ago. But the residency requirements, meant to make the program more palatable, are only increasing the consternation among critics, who say the program has resulted in the sale of citizenship to the global 0.1 percent. Applicants must show they have rented a property in Malta for 12 months. But they do not necessarily have to spend any time in this Mediterranean island nation, raising the question of what genuine links they are establishing. “It is questionable how the residency requirement is being applied,” said Tonio Fenech, a member of Malta’s Parliament Lawyers, accountants and real estate agents say the citizenship program has catapulted Malta onto the radar of the global elite. Applications are pouring in, and the program aims to raise €2 billion, more than a quarter of Malta’s gross domestic product. “We want to attract individuals who can add value to our country because of their ideas, and their networks and their businesses and their talent,” said Jonathan Cardona, chief executive of Identity Malta, which administers the Individual Investor Program. Housed in a sprawling, fortresslike 16th-century building once used as a hospital, the Malta citizenship program nods to the country’s multicultural past, punctuated over the years by invasion. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Fatimids, Normans, Sicilians, Spanish, French, a European lay religious order and the British all tried to conquer or rule Malta, and many succeeded. Maltese, the official language with English, looks and sounds Arabic, but its speakers are primarily Roman Catholics who pray to Allah, or God.

Question: What two styles made the Rap Battle between Freda and Hakeem so different?

Jamal and Cookie continue meeting furtively in studios at night, the two building a saccharine sound that is less progressive or scene-changing than their wildly satisfied grins let on. But the clandestine collaboration is endearing, if mostly because mother and son are bonding again despite the constant surveillance of Lucious and Thirsty. (If Cookie’s bedridden romp last week with The Man with the Longhorn Tattoo inspired fear that Delgado might destroy her too, her defense of her son against Delgado’s aggression provided a needed assurance). Loyalty lines across Cookie’s scrappy startup and Lucious’s rickety Wall Street behemoth have been eroding for quite some time, and Jamal’s nomination to be the next face of Pepsi surfaces as the fault-line. Jamal baits Cookie and Lucious into coming to a studio session, hoping that the two might meld their angelic flutes and brutish percussion into one electronic monster. Their petulance prevails, however, but it’s more a bruise to Jamal the son than a setback to the Jamal the Musician. Jamal ends up cutting and pasting the two songs together himself and winning the Pepsi competition. The rap battle between Freda and Hakeem was unambiguously presented as the episode’s cathartic zenith, and according to the performance logic undergirding the differences in street and studio rap, it was laughably obvious Freda would bring the carnage. Prep scenes showed Hakeem satisfactorily riffing on word associations, Freda annihilating her opponent with daggered lyrical quips. To me, and likely every viewer marginally familiar with commonly agreed-upon rules of battle rap engagement, Freda was obviously the winner. She zeroed in on Hakeem as her target, deftly weaving sophisticated lyrical attacks athletically and flamboyantly. And although it was meant to cut her opponent down, Freda’s expression of admiration for Cookie’s hustle makes me wonder what a Gatz/Dynasty track would sound like.

Question: In what area was the person suprised most by its leaders?

To be an effective leader, you can’t be conflict-averse. So many people are conflict-averse. That’s been my biggest surprise in business. I wasn’t expecting how many people in leadership positions and in very senior managerial positions are averse to conflict. I don’t think you can push something forward if you don’t have that skill. And is that something that’s always been natural for you? It has, and maybe it’s because I grew up with so many different opinions and perspectives. I had to be able to address differences very early on as I moved through my life. It’s a skill set I had naturally, but I’ve also developed it over time. It’s about being direct and honest but constructive, and calling out the elephants in the room. Let’s talk about it and find a way forward.

Question: How have Americans been watching their cholesterol intake for decades?

Did recommendations change when these studies were published? No, but they got closer to changing on Thursday, when a government committee urged repeal of the guideline that Americans limit their cholesterol intake to 300 milligrams a day, saying, “Cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern for overconsumption.” I’m sure this will come as a surprise to a vast majority of Americans, who for decades have been watching their cholesterol intake religiously. (The change won’t be official until it is approved by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture, but they usually closely follow the committee’s recommendations.)

Question: Who is the chairwoman of that foundation?

VENICE — When Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, fell to the Islamic State in June, members of the Ruya Foundation, an Iraqi nonprofit that set up the country’s pavilion at the last Venice Biennale, considered scrapping all plans for this year’s exhibition. “With all this carnage and death and rape, how could you even think of culture?” said Tamara Chalabi, chairwoman of the foundation. In the end, the plans went forward because it was “a statement,” she said. “When there’s so much else being destroyed, this is also one way of trying to preserve culture.”

The papers arrived last week from Croatia, where they had been kept by Ms. Kodar, Mr. Hallman said. University officials declined to disclose the purchase price of the papers. The discovery comes amid renewed interest in Welles coinciding with the 100th anniversary of his birth earlier this month. Most prominently, a group of producers are working to complete “The Other Side of the Wind,” a film shot by Welles in the 1970s. The producers unveiled an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign on May 7 to raise funds for editing, music and other postproduction costs.

Question: What is wrong with the political opposition in Caracas?

CARACAS, Venezuela —  Now comes the hard part. The political opposition here rode discontent over a failing economy to an overwhelming majority in legislative elections on Sunday, but after years of sniping from the sidelines, members have to get down to the difficult task of delivering on promises to fix the country’s many ills. The opposition, under the banner of the Democratic Unity coalition, won 112 of the 167 seats in the National Assembly, which will be sworn in Jan. 5, according to electoral authorities. The government’s United Socialist Party will now have 55 seats.

Question: Who tried to get the director to fire the agents?

Democratic members were no less critical. Representative Nita M. Lowey of New York, the ranking Democrat on the committee, urged the agency’s director, Joseph P. Clancy, who took over last month, to demand discipline. She repeatedly pressed him to fire the agents in question, saying their actions proved they were “not the kind of person” that should be employed to protect the president. Under aggressive questioning, Mr. Clancy cautioned that some of the facts about the March 4 accident had not been verified. Contrary to initial reports of a dramatic crash into a White House barricade, Mr. Clancy said, a surveillance video showed the agents’ car slowly nudging an orange construction barrel out of the way so it could move forward.

Question: When was Rolling Stone's "heyday"?

The plan in the magazine’s 1970s heyday, said Joe Armstrong, its publisher and president during that period, “was to build Time-Life, do what Henry Luce did, but for a younger generation.” Rolling Stone was breaking new ground, and printing things others would not print, he said. “We were covering rock ’n’ roll music when your parents liked orchestra music,” he said. “We were against the war in Vietnam, and everybody over 30 was for it. We were covering the drug culture. Nobody else was doing it.” Tom Wolfe published his novel “The Bonfire of the Vanities” in installments in the magazine. The photographer Annie Leibovitz became a star there. Richard Avedon traveled the country to shoot dozens of portraits of the people he felt ran America, a collection now with the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Mr. Thompson made his own style of gonzo journalism. Rolling Stone has gone through tumultuous periods before, said Robert Draper, the author of “Rolling Stone Magazine: The Uncensored History.” It has survived internal strife, often surrounding the mercurial Mr. Wenner, questions about its finances and the threat of MTV, which many thought would end it.

Question: How can you control WeChat functions in your car?

Ford said it was in talks with Tencent, maker of the popular WeChat messaging app, to develop messaging functions for the manufacturer’s cars in China. David Huang, a senior engineer who heads Ford’s Asia Pacific connected-services unit, said, “People want to stay connected, stay informed and stay entertained all the time, even when they’re driving.” Drivers would sync their phone to their car’s software system and control WeChat functions, chosen by Tencent and certified by Ford as safe, through voice commands or limited use of buttons. Yale Zhang, managing director of the Shanghai-based consultancy Automotive Foresight, said connectivity was a deciding factor for Chinese customers buying a car. “Those kind of things are the fundamental things people will consider,” he added. Many Chinese use WeChat’s free voice messaging feature instead of phone calls, holding up their smartphones like walkie-talkies as they speak, tap and listen to replies. Rivals including Daimler and Nissan are also looking at ways to give drivers safe, hands-free access to mobile apps in China, home to the world’s largest number of smartphone users. WeChat is China’s most prevalent chatting app, with about half a billion active monthly users.

Question: Is the phenomenon "anchor babies" a real thing?

Though the phenomenon is real, Mr. Bush was blasted by Asian-American groups for repeating the slur. And, astoundingly, he handed Mr. Trump the opportunity to send out tweets like this:  “In a clumsy move to get out of his ‘anchor babies’ dilemma, where he signed that he would not use the term and now uses it, he blamed ASIANS.”

Question: Where did the student go for education?

The attack occurred around 8:20 a.m., when the victim, a student at the private Whitestone Academy, was “accosted from behind,” Chief Boyce said. She was carrying a bag and walking east on 13th Avenue near 147th Street in the Whitestone neighborhood, he said. The assailant was wearing a hood over his head, and was “wearing a surgical mask and he has surgical gloves on,” Chief Boyce said. Detectives retrieved video images of the attacker that showed him running away. Carolyn Rutigliano, who lives about a block from where the attack happened, said she heard the girl scream. It lasted “about 15 seconds,” she said, and an ambulance came shortly afterward. The police have not been able to identify him from the video, Chief Boyce said. The department released the video in the hopes that someone might be able to identify him.

Question: what century saw the beginning of Clinton Hill's glory days?

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 caused tension between Lucious and his son?

At a neon-drenched Leviticus, Lucious, still reeling from his estranged son’s pointed emasculation of his music production, coolly sends Hakeem a rap call-to-arms via his Gutter Life Records protégé, Freda Gatz. The missive’s brutally coy hook — “Daddy’s little girl / You’re just daddy’s little girl” — inflames Hakeem as much as it ennobles Gatz, who has been groomed into something between surrogate child and unknowing executor of the barely-hidden id of the man who killed her father in prison. It’s disconcerting, watching the one viable female artist in the Lyon universe take on Lucious’s paternal insecurity rather than the profound contours of her own life story. But despite the petty subject, Gatz’s expert interplay between high masculine and low feminine delivery invigorates the show’s sometimes dull man-child music landscape.

Question: In which year did the Brazilian federal police conduct the money laundering investigation, as mentioned in the article?

“You needed a lot of improbable factors aligned for this case to begin,” Mr. Dallagnol said, sitting at a conference table one afternoon. “It was like the gods giving us a window of opportunity.” In 2012, the federal police were conducting a money-laundering investigation, which included surveillance of the owner of the Tower Gas Station. (This undistinguished institution once housed a carwash, since closed, which gave the investigation its name.) An officer on a wiretapped conversation realized that he was listening to Alberto Youssef. “Youssef had been a pilot for many years, and the cop was once an air traffic controller,” said Mr. Reinaldet, Mr. Youssef’s lawyer. “And the cop, he said to himself, ‘I know this guy.’ Pretty soon, they were tapping Youssef’s cellphone.”

Question: Who did Castro joke might convince him to return to the church?

He added, “I think that our church in Cuba is still looking too much into itself.” But Francis has unique advantages in Cuba, given that he is a native Spanish speaker bearing a popular message of social justice and the pitfalls of capitalism. Cuban officials have already signaled their approval. During his last trip to the Vatican, Raúl Castro joked that Francis might even convince him to return to church. Few expect that a Cuban government still so firmly in power is going to roll over, no matter how popular the pope may be. And those government critics, especially in Miami, who want Francis to publicly rebuke Mr. Castro are likely to be disappointed. The toughest negotiations will likely happen in private. “Cuba is his hardest task,” Mr. Hare said. “He will know that he has to engineer a new path in Cuba and he has the best opportunity yet with his rhetoric, background of social activism and lack of stuffiness to open the key to the Cuban door.”

Question: Who did the European Union regulators file an antitrust against?

The antitrust case against Google filed by European Union regulators on Wednesday will inevitably draw comparisons to the long-running prosecution of Microsoft, in which regulators on both sides of the Atlantic pursued the software giant for anticompetitive behavior. But Margrethe Vestager, the European Union’s competition commissioner, may not find the comparison entirely flattering. With more than a decade of hindsight, the theories supporting the case against Microsoft have all but fallen apart, and the pursuit of the company that makes Windows may suggest a reason for skepticism about this fight against Google: The tech marketplace is fluid and unpredictable. The giants that look most unbeatable today could falter in ways that may once have seemed unthinkable — and without a lot of help from the government.

Question: What state was Barney Frank a representative of?

THE IMPROBABLE JOURNEY OF BARNEY FRANK (2015) Retirement, according to the cranky Mr. Frank, has some benefits. “I don’t even have to pretend to try to be nice to people I don’t like,” that Massachusetts representative and Democrat said before stepping down in 2013, tapping into what Rachel Maddow called “a sense of humor that he wields like a wrecking ball.” This documentary chronicles Mr. Frank’s 32 turbulent years in Congress, where he was chairman of the Financial Services Committee as Wall Street was imploding. He also became the first sitting member to marry a same-sex partner when, in 2012, he and Jim Ready promised to love each other “for better or for worse, on MSNBC or on Fox.” (Image: Mr. Frank, center, and Mr. Ready, right)

Question: What is the name of the painting that is strikingly American version of Modernism?

Question: How many people were killed by the sunken ferry?

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea formally announced on Wednesday that it would try to raise the 6,825-ton ferry that sank more than a year ago, killing more than 300 people, most of them high school students. The overloaded ferry Sewol capsized off the southwestern tip of South Korea last April, and it now lies on its side about 145 feet underwater. Rapid currents and poor visibility complicated the monthslong underwater search of the ship, which ended in November after 295 bodies were recovered. Bereaved families have demanded salvaging the ship in hopes that the bodies of nine people still missing, including four teenage students, will be found inside. Earlier this month, thousands of protesters, including family members of the victims, marched in downtown Seoul, the South Korean capital, to mark the anniversary of the sinking, some of them clashing with riot police officers spraying tear gas. A key demand from the protesters was the raising of the ferry, which they said would provide more clues on why the ship sank.

Question: How does the Times consider these crossings?

The metric is not a perfect measurement of danger. (The agency cautions that it does not take into account other factors, like local topography and traffic congestion.) But the 10 crossings, four in New Jersey and six on Long Island, examined by The Times are easily among the most hazardous in the country. Out of almost 130,000 public crossings in the nation, only 112 others have accident-prediction values as high as these 10. The Midland Avenue crossing currently has the eighth highest likelihood of a crash in the country.

Question: What character trait is debatable?

The sections on art and writing are, for the most part, banal — predictable musings about whether characters ought to be “likable” or not, and the pleasures of rereading favorite short books. It’s the chapters about Mr. Hamid’s own life and his meditations on Pakistan’s tumultuous recent history that command attention — and call out for a volume of their own. Like so many characters in his fiction, Mr. Hamid seems to be of two minds about many things — especially the country of his birth. One moment he is lamenting the hazards of life in Pakistan, where death can come in the form of militant terror attacks and American drone strikes, and where one can be killed for “being liberal, for being mystical, for being in politics, the army or the police, or for simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Question: how many  company directors some of their pay in cash?

Pay is also on the rise as courts crack down on compensation plans for non-executive directors. A Delaware court ruled this year that plans should be evaluated under stricter standards, particularly where directors were deciding on equity compensation. The Equilar study found that 97.8 percent of S.&P. 500 company directors had some of their pay in cash, 36 percent had some stock and 59.4 percent had restricted stock units. In health care, 70 percent of the companies offered stock units as part of director pay. In financial services, only 48 percent offered units. Director roles matter, too. Non-executive board chairmen had a median retainer of $387,500, up 12.7 percent from 2010.

Question: What is the most popular sport's league in the United States?

But Robert Stern, one of the scientists at the Boston University center, told me that he expected a test to be developed within a decade that will be able to diagnose C.T.E. in living people. As for symptoms, the real problem is that plenty of people suffer from lost impulse control and depression without having C.T.E. Even so, the primary symptoms the settlement will reward financially are those that suggest cognitive impairment, rather than the behavioral and mood symptoms of C.T.E. “At a minimum,” said Stern, “former players whose behavior changes in ways that suggest C.T.E. should have full evaluations paid for by the settlement. And treatment would be nice, too.” It’s hard not to view the settlement as the cynical effort by the N.F.L. to contain its potential C.T.E. liability; indeed, once the settlement is final, it will be nearly impossible for players — past, present and future — to be compensated if they are found to have the disease. Even the plaintiffs’ expert has said that only 17 percent of the roughly 21,000 former players who have become part of the class will ever see any money. Oh, and did I mention that the N.F.L. has agreed to pay the plaintiffs’ lawyers over $112 million? It’s not the nation’s dominant sports league for nothing.

Question: What percentage of a gain did manufacturing inventories increase in May?

The upward revisions to core capital goods shipments, combined with a report on Monday showing stronger construction spending in May and April than previously reported, suggest second-quarter G.D.P. could be revised higher when the government publishes its second estimate later this year. The Commerce Department reported last week that the economy expanded at a 2.3 percent annual pace in the second quarter. A 0.6 percent increase in manufacturing inventories in June also pointed to an upward revision to second-quarter G.D.P. The rise in inventories followed a 0.1 percent gain in May. Unfilled orders at factories were unchanged in June after two straight months of decreases, potentially signaling stability in factory activity.

Question: What is the size of the audience the Premier League has?

That split is the same as the broadcasters now hold for the British rights to televise the Premier League, whose teams, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, play in games that can attract a global audience of about three billion each week. The league is expected to receive at least an additional $3 billion when it sells the rights to international broadcasters, including those in the United States, later this year. The battle to broadcast the English soccer games had set Sky, which is partly owned by Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox, against BT, the former British telecommunications monopoly that has aggressively expanded into live sports programming as a way to promote its array of cable television and Internet services.

Question: Who is Steve Jobs' daughter?

It felt like a contest among high school classmates vying to be the football captain’s best friend. Here’s the thing: They didn’t know Steve Jobs. None of us did. I don’t care if you had a sleepover party at his house once a week while you watched rom-coms and did each other’s nails. Or if he granted you a 15-second interview after one of his product introductions. The reality is, Steve Jobs was trying to sell things, and he was an absolute master at using the media to do that. Sure, these folks knew a version of Mr. Jobs that he wanted to show, and they knew his products, perhaps better than anyone. But the only people who may have known the true Steve Jobs were his family and a few close friends. And even they had different reactions to the film. His wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, reportedly tried to have the movie killed numerous times and was unusually public about how she disliked the film. And yet his daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, chose to speak to Mr. Sorkin for the film, sharing, as Mr. Sorkin said in an interview, “stories about her father that weren’t necessarily flattering.”

Question: Who was the governor of Maryland in 2007?

“We are committed to providing the best service to our clients and will remain committed to ensuring accepted standards are met,” Mr. Moyer said. Baltimore has been the scene of riots that exploded over the death of Freddie Gray, a young black man who was injured in police custody and later died, though the motion is unrelated to that death, which led to charges against six police officers. The motion came days after Martin O’Malley, who as governor of Maryland oversaw the jail system from 2007 through 2015, announced that he was running for president. Earlier, as mayor of Baltimore, Mr. O’Malley introduced a “zero tolerance” brand of policing, the lingering effects of which are still being felt in the relationship between law enforcement and city’s poor, black neighborhoods.
