Question: How much attention do other cases something like Michael Brown get surprisingly?

David J. Leonard, an associate professor and chairman of the department of critical culture, gender and race studies at Washington State University, said that despite highly publicized cases like the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Freddie Gray in Baltimore, many questionable deaths of minorities still received little attention. “There are countless other cases involving African-Americans in the past year that have not received coverage anywhere near the level of Zachary Hammond,” Professor Leonard said. Yet he said much of the attention the Hammond case received on Twitter was spurred by Black Lives Matter activists.

Question: For which production company did Roger Corman direct and/or produce 40 films?

American International Pictures, Part 2 (through Sunday) Anthology Film Archives continues its tribute to the influential, no-budget production house American International Pictures, where the movies’ titles and posters often got hashed out before the scripts were written. The subtitle for this 13-film retrospective is “Bikers, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and an impressive number of the titles manage to check all three of those boxes. Two films with a more narrow focus are the chintzy hostage melodrama “Rock All Night,” with its marvelous tagline “Some Have to Dance … Some Have to Kill!,” and “Machine-Gun Kelly,” starring Charles Bronson. No fewer than seven of Anthology’s offerings come from Roger Corman, who directed and/or produced some 40 films for the company in 15 years — and even worked as an (uncredited) stunt driver on one of them. 32-34 Second Avenue, at Second Street, East Village, 212-505-5181, anthologyfilmarchives.org.

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: What beers seemed to be imitations of American beers?

My two days in Leeds included a number of modern taverns and extremely up-to-date craft brews, but I wanted to find out more about Yorkshire’s most traditional breweries, and what it was that made the half-pints of old-style bitter and mild so delicious. Magic Rock’s IPAs were good, but I could hardly tell one from the other, and all of them seemed to be imitations of American beers, while the bitters and milds felt as much a part of the region as the moors and the old textile mills. When I had emailed Timothy Taylor to request a tour, the response came back that they do not offer tours, instead suggesting that I visit the Black Sheep brewery in the remote North Yorkshire village of Masham. And so, after 42 minutes on a high-speed train to the town of Thirsk and a 15-minute taxi ride across beautiful North Yorkshire farmland, I arrived at the Black Sheep brewery just as a tour was beginning. The brewery, I learned, had opened in 1992, when one of the Theakstons had split from the local Theakston brewery, starting a second major beer producer in a town of just over a thousand inhabitants.

Question: Where did operators in Nevada fire missiles?

A front-page news analysis by Scott Shane, for example, included this memorable paragraph, not in a quote but in the author’s own voice: “Every independent investigation of the strikes has found far more civilian casualties than administration officials admit. Gradually, it has become clear that when operators in Nevada fire missiles into remote tribal territories on the other side of the world, they often do not know who they are killing, but are making an imperfect best guess.” (Mr. Shane’s knowledge comes in part from his book, due for September publication, on the 2011 drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born imam.)

Question: Why did Mr. Montero and Mr. Anderson not testify previously?

The judge also rejected the prosecution’s argument that Mr. Hincapie could have called the witnesses at his first trial and chose not to. The judge noted Ms. Santana had come forward only this year after reading news accounts of the hearing, while Mr. Montero and Mr. Anderson had legal reasons in 1990 for not making themselves available to testify. He said the case law regarding setting aside a verdict did not require all of the witnesses to be newly discovered, only that their statements be discovered after the trial.

Question: What does SGS do?

Color Play Asia said on its Facebook page that its products were in line with standards set by SGS, which is a Geneva-based testing, inspection and verification company. No one from SGS was immediately available to comment on whether Color Play Asia’s products had received certification and whether that process also included tests for flammability. On Sunday, Color Play Asia’s Facebook page was filled with comments expressing outrage that the event could have so quickly turned into an inferno. “The organizers just know about money, they don’t know about the dangers,” wrote someone going by the name of Kalin Chang. “I hope you give a reasonable explanation to all the families who have been hurt by this,” another person said.

Question: What type of works are in the exhibition A New World to Come?

★ ‘For a New World to Come: Experiments in Japanese Art and Photography, 1968-1979’ (through Jan. 10) This exceptionally informative exhibition presents photographs, photography books, paintings, sculptures and videos produced by 29 Japanese artists during a decade of ideological disillusionment following the utopian excitement of the 1960s. Most of the works are black and white and driven by abstract concepts, with many focused on the nature of photography itself. It’s a dry show, but it’s fascinating for its revelation of memes and trends that continue to resonate in photographic art around the world.

Question: Which state has the country's best immunization rate for kindergartners?

JACKSON, Miss. —  The Mississippi state epidemiologist, Dr. Thomas E. Dobbs III, stood in a crowded room at the State Capitol this week and waited for a legislative verdict on the law that fostered what he regards as a public health triumph in a place that has few of them: the country’s highest immunization rate among kindergarten students. But in recent weeks, the nearly unbending nature of Mississippi’s law requiring students to be vaccinated has been in jeopardy, with two dozen lawmakers publicly supporting an exemption for “conscientious beliefs.” The debate, coming as other states grappled with a measles outbreak, turned Mississippi into one more battleground between medical experts who champion vaccinations and parents who fear the government’s role in medical decision-making.

Question: What was the increase in available jobs in terms of percent?

The stock market then drifted gradually lower after a classic good-news-is-bad-news moment. A government report released at midmorning showed that the number of available jobs jumped 8 percent in July to the highest level in 15 years. That added to evidence that hiring remained strong and might prompt Federal Reserve policy makers to raise interest rates at their next meeting later this month. By the close, the Dow Jones industrial average had swung more than 400 points from its peak of the day. The index surged a day earlier, logging its second-best day of the year.

Question: What does Madonna call it when she works on tracks in person?

But Madonna insisted on collaborating in what she called her “old-fashioned” way — not handing off tracks to be polished for later approval, but shaping them in person. “I never leave the room,” she said. “Sometimes I think that makes them mad. Like, ‘Don’t you have to go to the bathroom? Don’t you have somewhere to go? Don’t you want to go make some calls?’ ” Toby Gad, a producer who has also written with Beyoncé, worked on 14 songs with Madonna; seven, including “Joan of Arc” and “Living for Love,” reached the album. “The first week she was quite intimidating,” he said. “It was like a test phase. You have to criticize, but you can’t really offend. But she also likes honest, harsh critics to say things as they are. It worked out really well and she got sweeter and sweeter.”

Question: What is another subject of legislation in Congress?

Where Congress has faltered, the states have moved to tighten safety aspects of gun ownership. For instance, 10 states have made it harder for people with domestic violence convictions to obtain weapons. Court records show that the gunman in Louisiana had a history of mental illness and had once been the subject of a protective order in Carroll County, Ga., which may have been detected with a stronger mental health reporting systems. That too is the subject of legislation languishing in Congress.

Question: Automatic IRAs would guarantee all employees save for retirement, but the employees would be left without the option to do what?

A wide range of research, for example, has found that people are far more likely to save through a 401(k) savings plan if their employer automatically enrolls them. But only in 2009 were I.R.S. rules put into effect to make clear that is an acceptable practice and what employers must do to make auto-enrollment legal. And the president has proposed more extensive legislation, which hasn’t gone anywhere in Congress, allowing “Automatic I.R.A.s.” This idea, floated years ago by the conservative Heritage Foundation, would create retirement plans run through employers in which people cannot opt out. That would ensure that everyone who works will accumulate retirement savings. The system of retirement savings as it exists today actually requires any American hoping for a comfortable standard of living to have a fair amount of foresight and financial savvy to save enough and put investments in appropriate vehicles. We’re not going back to the paternalistic days when your employer took care of everything and all you needed to do upon turning 65 was cash a pension check every month. But take these proposals together, and you can see a possible vision of what retirement savings in the 21st century might look like if President Obama gets his way. It will still revolve around tax-advantaged individual accounts invested in private accounts, with all the risk that implies. But the system may have a few more built-in safeguards to protect people from themselves.

Question: The Clinton Foundation issued a statement suggestions what?

The Clinton Foundation said in its statement that aside from supporting a housing exposition in Haiti, it had not been directly involved with any housing projects. The foundation also said Mr. Rodham’s project had not been among the more than 300 submitted for consideration at the expo. Mr. Rodham projected that he could make $1 million on the Haiti deal if it came to pass — enough money, he said in his court testimony, to take his family to Disney World and cover his debts, including his legal bills and his long overdue federal taxes. Mr. Rodham eventually settled his bill with his former lawyer, Gwendolyn Jo M. Carlberg. Ms. Carlberg said in a phone interview that, despite her lawsuit, she did not have a negative view of Mr. Rodham. “I found a lot of good in Tony,” she said.

Question: What type of art pieces did the museum have?

Religious images live switched-on, switched-off lives. I remember walking through the National Museum in Kyoto, Japan, some years back, taking in its rows of Buddhist sculpture, and being stopped by one piece, not because it was especially beautiful — it wasn’t — but because a vase with a single fresh flower had been placed in front of it, like an offering in a temple. I stayed with the image because someone — a guard? a visitor? — was telling me, in terms I don’t often think of in museums, that it was important, in a personal, spiritual way.

Question: What is the top price for Video works go for?

“But you try and say yes to those that instinctively feel interesting, and I thought, ‘Why not give this a shot?”’ The idea behind Daata is simple. Once a year, 18 video, sound and digital artists will be commissioned to do six pieces of three minutes or less, 15 editions of each piece. The works are available to be purchased and downloaded from the site. Daata has a sliding price scale. Sound, web and digital works start at $100 and increase by edition to a top price of $2,800; for video, the starting price is $200, increasing by increments to a top price of $5,600. The price difference, Mr. Gryn said, is linked to the perceived higher market value of video. Daata keeps the revenue and pays each artist a 15 percent royalty on each sale.

Question: What photography teacher influenced Sally Mann?

Like an essayist collecting quotations, Mann ransacks the history of photography for her imagery. “I’m a shameless borrower,” she says. The influence of Norman Sieff, her photography teacher at Bennington and best known for his sepia-tinted album cover for the Band, can still be felt. At Hollins, she reprinted the glass plates of Michael Miley, Robert E. Lee’s main portrait photographer, and further immersed herself in the technology of the 19th century. A feeling of nostalgia as well as hidden danger has marked Mann’s work for years.

Question: Who conducted the trial in Haiti?

Officials point to the case of Pakistani peacekeepers accused of raping a boy in Haiti a few years ago as a model of accountability. Pakistan sent military judges to conduct a trial in Haiti. One peacekeeper was convicted, and then, to the dismay of many Haitians, whisked back to Pakistan to serve a one-year jail sentence. “People can always say punishment was too light or whatever, but the system worked as it should,” Anthony Banbury, the United Nations assistant secretary general for field support, said of the case.

Question: Which two channels did the police raid?

Reporters in Istanbul covered a police raid on their own offices on Wednesday, as the Turkish government seized control of two television stations and a newspaper group critical of the governing party just four days before national elections. Scuffles between officers and reporters unfolded on live television as the police broke into the shared headquarters of the two channels, KanalTurk and Bugun TV, and ushered in court-appointed trustees who were placed in charge of the company that owns the media group, Koza Ipek Holding.

Question: Who is a left-win alliance of activist groups?

Blockupy is a left-wing alliance of dozens of activist groups from across Europe. Its members include one of the largest German labor unions, the United Service Union, known as Ver.di, and Syriza, the left-wing, anti-austerity Greek political party that is now leading the government in Athens. The European Central Bank is one of Greece’s main creditors, and it is part of the so-called troika of international organizations that are supervising the Greek bailout program that the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is trying to renegotiate. The central bank, along with the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, is widely blamed for imposing austerity measures on countries that have needed bailouts.

Question: The visitors that described the scent as Italian sausage were in which city?

Visitors in the Chicago crowd didn’t get outright stench, but they did get a hands-on experience: Dr. Still and Mr. Pollak began passing around pieces of Spike’s spathe to the visitors. On Tuesday, they said that Spike was beginning to emit a more putrid odor — a bad sign regarding nearly anything else in the world, but a good sign for this plant — and that visiting hours would be extended until Thursday. In Denver, the visitors who had been hoping for a stinky celebration had gotten luckier. They described the scent as rotting cabbage, dead mice and, oddly, Italian sausage when they stepped close to lean into the blooming flower, named Stinky. Stinky lasted a few days before it crumpled and entered a dormant phase.

Question: Who coached a women's flag football team in an episode of the show?

Viewers have watched linebacker Jaylon Smith bowling, receiver Corey Robinson playing the ukulele and singing and Day and cornerback Cole Luke coaching a women’s flag-football team. During their off week, crews accompanied some players home. Espinoza said the network was pleased with the weekly 30-minute show. “There’s been a lot of drama within the program,” he said. “Some unexpected injuries, some come-from-behind wins. We couldn’t have scripted it any better.” The first three episodes averaged 663,000 viewers across all platforms. That compares favorably with Showtime’s most popular sports series, “Inside the NFL,” and the show is the third-most-watched program through its streaming service, Espinoza said.

Question: What year did the auto show take place?

He mused about dropping muscular diesel engines into sporty cars like the Audi R8 coupe — “My dream is an R8 with a diesel engine,” he said at the Los Angeles auto show in 2007. At the same time, he had to bring engines to market that could meet a complex suite of toughening regulations in the United States, particularly in California and other states like New York that opt to follow California’s more stringent air quality rules. “We will do what is possible, but we should keep the pleasure” and keep cars “fun to drive,” he said in remarks in October 2007 at the California technology demonstration. His remarks were filmed by DrivingtheNation.com, an auto website. “It’s not just about transport; our business, it’s also about pleasure,” he said.

Question: How many excerpts from Variations were performed?

And isn’t it time to give Caleb Teicher his own evening? In three excerpts from his “Variations,” interspersed throughout the night, he paired his facile, flowing style to Glenn Gould’s recordings of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations.” Sharing the stage with Brittany DeStefano and Gabe Winns, Mr. Teicher juxtaposed barely there brushes with frenetic taps as his body — twisting and dipping — pulled toward and away from the Gould. These days, a choreographer with a new angle on Bach is startling: Mr. Teicher has a will and a way.

Question: What skill is it Leive says you have to learn?

I was about 25. Nobody ever really sits you down and says, “Here’s some Management 101 on how to do it.” It’s a skill you have to learn. Just because you know how to be a good friend, and even a good co-worker, doesn’t mean that you’re going to know how to be a good boss. I didn’t ask as many questions in the beginning as I should have. Any specific memo-to-self moments? The big challenge for me was learning how to be firm and clear. It’s very reassuring for employees to understand what is expected of them. Otherwise, how will they know that they’re doing a good job? Finding a way to do that while also creating an office that is warm and friendly and engaging is a balancing act that it took me a while to master. Really getting to know your team and being interested in their lives also gives you good will. So when you’re in a situation where you need to deliver a message that maybe isn’t so easy to hear, it will land on this mattress of good karma. People want to be understood and respected as individuals.

Question: What religion did Michael D'Andrea convert to?

Perhaps no single C.I.A. officer has been more central to the effort than Michael D’Andrea, a gaunt, chain-smoking convert to Islam who was chief of operations during the birth of the agency’s detention and interrogation program and then, as head of the C.I.A. Counterterrorism Center, became an architect of the targeted killing program. Until last month, when Mr. D’Andrea was quietly shifted to another job, he presided over the growth of C.I.A. drone operations and hundreds of strikes in Pakistan and Yemen during nine years in the position.

Question: What, specifically, did Tian have linked to him?

Law enforcement officials hope that information gathered from Mr. Tian will provide a window into the drug’s hazy international underworld, where manufacturers readily tweak chemicals used to make spice and other so-called designer drugs, staying one step ahead of federal regulators scrambling to identify and outlaw them. “There’s an illusion of legality,” said Scott Albrecht, a special agent in the D.E.A.’s Milwaukee district office, who supervised the investigation of Mr. Tian after the agents linked him to packages shipped to an address here. “We make one thing illegal, and they just move on to the next one.”

Question: How long did it take Credit Agricole to earn 930 million euros in net income?

PARIS — Crédit Agricole and Société Générale, two of France’s largest banks, reported higher third-quarter profits on Thursday as their retail divisions posted improved results. Crédit Agricole, which ranks second only to BNP Paribas among French lenders in terms of assets, posted net income of 930 million euros, about $1 billion, for the three months from July through September, an increase of 15 percent from a year earlier. Its revenue slipped 2 percent to €3.9 billion, it said, though it noted that the figure was broadly stable after accounting for a revaluation of its own debt, loan hedges and other items. It said most business lines had improved, particularly domestic and international retail banking.

Crédit Agricole, which ranks second only to BNP Paribas among French lenders in terms of assets, posted net income of 930 million euros, about $1 billion, for the <hl> three months <hl> from July through September, an increase of 15 percent from a year earlier. Its revenue slipped 2 percent to €3.9 billion, it said, though it noted that the figure was broadly stable after accounting for a revaluation of its own debt, loan hedges and other items. It said most business lines had improved, particularly domestic and international retail banking.


Question: What fraction of fruit does California supply?

California is able to supply a third of America’s vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts because it is one of only five major growing regions of the world with what is known as a Mediterranean climate. That means it is cold and wet in the winter, then dry and sunny in the summer. The bright, clear days create ideal growing conditions. The hitch is water. Precipitation is erratic, and when it comes, it tends to fall in the mountainous northern and eastern parts of the state, while much of the population and farming are in the south and west. Winter snows in the Sierra Nevada are crucial, sending billions of gallons of water racing down the state’s rivers with the spring snowmelt. In the mid-20th century, two enormous government projects — the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project — were built to capture those flows. They move water over hills and through deserts, delivering it as far south as the San Diego neighborhoods bordering Mexico. Much of the water is pumped from the great delta where the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers converge on their way to the ocean through the Golden Gate, and that pumping has become a focus of intractable conflict.

Question: Which shirts were given out for free?

Commercialism has long been one of hip-hop’s prime ambitions. Yet “Rap Tees” (powerHouse) suggests that for many years hip-hop had in fact been under-merchandised. It’s striking how many of the best shirts weren’t official or for sale. Several were promotional items, given out to tastemakers and fans. And many weren’t by the musicians at all, but bootlegs made on the cheap and distributed broadly. That means that this book begins as a document of the hip-hop industry’s efforts to branch out beyond music, and by the end shifts to the flea markets, swap meets, sidewalk stalls and parking lots where street-level entrepreneurs, recognizing that rabid fans were also underserved customers, collected money that the rappers and their record labels were leaving on the table.

Question: In what Mr. Rommey spent 97.6 percent of his money?

Ever since the Supreme Court permitted political committees to raise unlimited sums for independent spending, the super PAC has occupied a growing place in the political ecosystem. The 2012 version of presidential super PACs mainly paid for ads. Restore Our Future, the PAC supporting Mr. Romney, spent 97.6 percent of its $142 million in independent expenditures — messages advocating Mr. Romney’s election or the defeat of his opponents — on broadcast ads and mail. Priorities USA Action, which backed Mr. Obama, spent almost exclusively on TV, radio and online advertising, according to Federal Election Commission records. Together with the national parties, both sides managed to raise and spend nearly $2 billion. Some donors balked at giving large amounts of money for negative television ads, so a Democratic super PAC was created to help conduct opposition research.

Question: What is the reason given by Joseph Jackson that lowering the voting age is the right thing to do?

Efforts to lower the voting age have drawn scattered support at the state and local levels across the country. State Representative Javier Martínez, a Democrat in New Mexico, plans to introduce a bill in January that would lower the voting age to 16 in school board elections. Charles Allen, a member of the Council of the District of Columbia, introduced legislation last month that would give 16- and 17-year-olds the right to vote in local and federal elections. To become law, the measure would require a majority of the district’s 13 council members to support it, and for Congress and the president not to overturn it. Joseph Jackson, 17, a member of the youth council in Richmond, Calif., is working on a draft bill that would lower the voting age in his city’s local elections. He and other teenagers said they already have a lot of responsibility because they can drive, work, pay taxes and be tried in adult court for some offenses. “No taxation without representation is what comes to mind,” Mr. Jackson said.

Question: What percentage of meetings are held in a closed-door executive session?

The report also exposed disturbing practices by board members. The board conducts 60 to 70 percent of its meetings in closed-door executive session. It does not tolerate, and is overtly hostile to, the complaints of public school parents, students and community members. Public protests against the board are now commonplace. The report proposed the appointment of a state fiscal monitor, who would oversee all of the board’s financial and educational decisions and have the authority to override the board, when necessary, to protect the interests of the public-school community and improve education outcomes for public-school students. The report also recommended additional state funding to restore essential staff and services, but only if a monitor was in place to make certain the money was used effectively and efficiently to benefit all of the students. A bill in Albany — introduced in the Assembly by Ellen C. Jaffee and Kenneth P. Zebrowski and in the Senate by David Carlucci, who all represent parts of the school district — would implement a fiscal monitor for at least five years. It is a crucial step toward reversing the district’s disastrous decline and repairing the deep rifts in the community. The New York State School Boards Association has found that the measure “respects the democratic electoral process by leaving the elected board of education in place.” The bill would not go as far as the Legislature went in 2002, when the school district in Roosevelt, on Long Island, was put under state control because of poor management. It is similar to what occurred in Lakewood, N.J., a district with circumstances similar to East Ramapo’s. In recent weeks, in response to a lobbying campaign by the school board, momentum for the bill appears to have slowed. Advocates for the local school board and some leaders in the Orthodox community have accused supporters of state oversight of having anti-Semitic motives.

Question: What was Mr Xu doing when he was killed?

With a dearth of information from the government, the market mayhem — and the crackdown that has followed — has created a ripe environment for rumor. On Monday, the website of another official media outlet, China National Radio, published an article from Xinhua stating that an associate of Mr. Xu had been shot and killed by the police while trying to escape. The report was quickly retracted with no explanation and was not available on Xinhua’s website. Later in the day, Xinhua reported on one of its social media accounts that its name and that of one of its reporters were used falsely to spread a “rumor” that the police had killed Mr. Xu’s associate. Xinhua reported the incident to the police. A picture purportedly of Mr. Xu’s arrest, with him in handcuffs and wearing what looked like a white lab coat, was posted on the website of Sina.com, one of the most popular Internet portals in China.

Question: how long did Ms. Wenk search for a property?

“We had a couple of nonnegotiable things — outdoor space and nothing smaller than 1,200 square feet,” Ms. Wenk said. After nine months of searching they pounced last year when they learned, through Joanna Mayfield Marks, an agent at Halstead Property, of a 1,500-square-foot condo with two terraces. The four-building complex had three units on the market late last month, ranging from a studio for $559,000 to a three-bedroom for $1.85 million, according to Andrew Booth, an associate broker at the Corcoran Group. The area has “definitely become a more popular neighborhood,” said Lea Fulton, an agent at the Ideal Properties Group. “People are coming in saying, ‘Hey, I’m interested in Clinton Hill,’ and before it was ‘I can’t afford Fort Greene anymore, so I guess I’ll look into Clinton Hill.’ ”

Question: Who does A. O. Scott write for?
