Question: What is Christianity deeply intertwined with?

ROME —  Catholics should not try to convert Jews, but should work together with them to fight anti-Semitism, the Vatican said on Thursday in a far-reaching document meant to solidify its increasingly positive relations with Jews. Despite a long history of mutual suspicion and conflict, Christianity and Judaism are deeply intertwined, and Christians should treat the subject of the Holocaust with sensitivity and repel any anti-Semitic tendencies, the Vatican wrote. Titled “The Gifts and Calling of God Are Irrevocable,” the document was issued by the Vatican’s Commission for Religious Relations with Jews. Addressing an issue that has been a sore point between the two faiths for centuries, the commission wrote that the church was “obliged to view evangelization to Jews, who believe in the one God, in a different manner from that to people of other religions and world views.” It specified that “the Catholic Church neither conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed towards Jews.” Analysts said the language in the document seemed intended to put the issue to rest.

Question: Senator Mark Warner represents which state?

Democratic and Republican lawmakers have been unsparing in their criticism of the personnel agency’s handling of the data breach and its aftermath — and its habit of periodically revising upward the amount of information that was lost. Government officials have not been able to explain publicly why it took more than a year to discover that information was leaving its systems at a tremendous rate. Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virginia, said in a statement on Wednesday that “the massive new number of employees’ fingerprints that was breached is shocking.” He continued, “And it does little to instill confidence in O.P.M. that it took them so long to detect that the number was so much larger than originally thought.” He called for “lifetime identity protection coverage” for the affected employees and contractors. But that assumes there was a financial motive to the theft; officials say it seems more likely that it was a national security motive.

Question: What other options include as Navdy's device substiture

This technology is in its infancy. Navdy’s device isn’t shipping until later this year, and it’s not clear if it will work as seamlessly as presented in the video when used in less perfect real-life conditions. But, broadly speaking, the Navdy device falls into a booming category of in-car gadgetry that might be fairly categorized as “you can have your cake and eat it too.” Drive, get texts, talk on the phone, even interact on social media, and do it all without compromising safety, according to various makers of the so-called head-up displays, repeating a position taken by a growing number of automakers who sell monitors set into the dashboard or mounted on it. Some carmakers also display basic driving information, like speed and turn-by-turn directions, within a specialized windshield so a driver can remain looking ahead and not down at the instrument panel.

Question: What film did the Pale Male filmed?

A red-tailed hawk named Pale Male became a celebrity after starring in a film, “The Legend of Pale Male,” that opened at the Angelika Film Center in Greenwich Village in 2010. And one raccoon in Central Park is so well known that he goes by a single name – Rocky – a rarefied status typically afforded to superstars like Madonna or Cher. Unlike hawks and raccoons, however, alligators are not native to New York. Ms. Silver suggested that CockadoodleQ may have at one point been a pet, and in her statement she reminded New Yorkers that it is illegal to keep alligators and other exotic animals as house pets in the city.

Question: What government ask the US for help?

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

Question: Who did Kaba find to be very engaging and always smiling?

“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: Who had edited or published Robert Hass, Guy Davenport, Wendell Berry, M.F.K. Fisher and Anne Lamott?

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 needs to happen for today's consumers get better healthcare?

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

Question: What Rabbi is a well known Orthodox figure in Williamsburg, Brooklyn?

Rabbi David Niederman, an influential Orthodox leader in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, sat outside a meeting of the New York City Board of Health on Wednesday, staring at a brochure and frowning. The pamphlet, created by the de Blasio administration, is a glossy but blunt warning about the dangers of metzitzah b’peh, an Orthodox circumcision ritual linked to herpes infections in infants. “Some babies can get sick with herpes, which can lead to death,” the form reads in bold type. “There is no way to avoid the risk.” “Serious misstatements,” Rabbi Niederman said, looking pained, as he read the brochure for the first time. But the rabbi declined to elaborate, telling a reporter that, for now, he wanted only to praise the city for trying to work with Orthodox leaders on the matter.

Question: Which prison location has the leadership been removed?

Indeed, it is prison employees who have been implicated: One has pleaded guilty to aiding the escape; another faces criminal charges; nine officers have been suspended; and the leadership of the prison, in Dannemora, has been removed. More than 60 inmates have filed complaints with Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York, an organization that assists indigent prisoners. And 10 members of an inmate council at Clinton signed a letter last month to state corrections officials making similar allegations. “We have been daily getting complaints along these lines from around the state,” said Michael Cassidy, a lawyer for Prisoners’ Legal Services.

Question: How many of the 60,000 jobs lost in the legal sector were added back after the recession?

During the recession, the legal sector — which is not confined to lawyers — shed about 60,000 jobs, and only about 20,000 have been added back, said James G. Leipold, executive director of the National Association for Law Placement, citing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Among the lawyers affected by the cuts, those with two to three years of experience were hit particularly hard, said David P. Miranda, president of the New York State Bar Association. As a result, he said, recent law school graduates have found themselves competing for work not only with classmates, but also with seasoned lawyers. The difficulty in finding jobs appears to have discouraged some people from pursuing legal careers, he added. Indeed, law school enrollment across the country dropped 30 percent over the past four years, Mr. Leipold said.

Question: Where is the Al-Ayam newspaper from?

Ibrahim Ghandour, a Sudanese government negotiator, attributed the failure of the talks to the rebels “being held hostage” to their alliances with one another. Yasser Arman, a negotiator with the SPLM-N, said the government was not able to make firm decisions. “Outstanding issues have been identified and they need decisions,” he said. The government said it did not want to revisit issues relating to Darfur that had already agreed upon with one of the groups in 2011. “Perhaps a new faction will come and say an agreement in Addis Ababa does not concern us and we start all over again,” said Amin Hassan Omar, a government negotiator. Some have called for greater international involvement in the negotiations. In what some see as a breakthrough, Sudan’s rebels, opposition parties and civil society groups signed a declaration late last year, known as the Sudan Call, uniting efforts to push for change in Sudan, but the impact of the declaration remains to be seen. “It has unified the opposition,” said Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, editor in chief of Al-Ayam newspaper in Khartoum. “But it remains to be seen how it will be used and what political power it will bring.” Talks are to resume this month, but Mr. Salih is not holding his breath. “You have to be either a prophet or fool to predict what will happen in Sudan,” he said. For many Sudanese, though, the urgency is clear. “There needs to be compromises from all sides for the sake of the people,” said Hamid Hussein, 45, a used-books seller in downtown Khartoum. He is originally from South Kordofan, where fighting continues. “We are the ones who pay the price of war,” he said.

In what some see as a breakthrough, Sudan’s rebels, opposition parties and civil society groups signed a declaration late last year, known as the Sudan Call, uniting efforts to push for change in Sudan, but the impact of the declaration remains to be seen. “It has unified the opposition,” said Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, editor in chief of Al-Ayam newspaper in <hl> Khartoum <hl>. “But it remains to be seen how it will be used and what political power it will bring.” Talks are to resume this month, but Mr. Salih is not holding his breath. “You have to be either a prophet or fool to predict what will happen in Sudan,” he said. For many Sudanese, though, the urgency is clear. “There needs to be compromises from all sides for the sake of the people,” said Hamid Hussein, 45, a used-books seller in downtown Khartoum. He is originally from South Kordofan, where fighting continues. “We are the ones who pay the price of war,” he said.

“It has unified the opposition,” said Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, editor in chief of Al-Ayam newspaper in <hl> Khartoum <hl> .


Question: What did Mr. Patil miss as the result of the delay?

In the meantime, the deterioration of the corridor has caused a trail of woe for the trains, and passengers, using it.

Question: Due to this scandal, roughly how many people were left unemployed?

To those lawyers, Tracy Reinaldet and Adriano Bretas, who recently recounted the conversation, this sounded a tad melodramatic. But then Mr. Youssef took a piece of paper and started writing the names of participants in what would soon become known as the Petrobras scandal. Mr. Reinaldet looked at the names and asked, not for the last time that day, “Are you serious?” “We were shocked,” he recalled, sitting in a conference room in his law office in downtown Curitiba, the capital of the southern state of Paraná, one morning in June. “It was kind of like, in Brazil, we know that corruption is a monster. But we never really see the monster. This was like seeing the monster.” What Mr. Youssef described to his lawyers, and then to prosecutors after he signed a plea agreement last year, is a fraud that has destabilized the country’s political system, helped tilt the economy into recession and left thousands unemployed. It has all but devastated Brazil’s status as an up-and-comer on the world stage.

Question: What ratio of colleges contacted by the New York Times did not respond with any information about concussion protocols?

In 2012, Dr. Paul Echlin, who helped develop a concussion curriculum in Canadian schools, led a small study of two Canadian college teams and found that female hockey players sustained concussions almost twice as frequently as men did. The New York Times contacted every N.C.A.A. Division I women’s hockey program by email or telephone to ask about concussion tracking, training and protocol details. Almost two-thirds of colleges did not respond with any information, some citing confidentiality. Only Cornell and New Hampshire provided all of the requested data. USA Hockey and Hockey Canada did not provide staff members for interviews to detail their concussion programs, instead referring to information on their websites. “The problem is these organizations are dancing around the issue,” Echlin said, citing concerns about participation numbers as a reason that national federations might not be more forthcoming.

Question: What was the inmate name?

Six Denver sheriff’s deputies are on restricted duty while the authorities investigate an episode at the downtown jail involving an inmate who later died. The authorities have refused to provide details about what led up to the death of the inmate, Michael Marshall, 50, who was removed from life support on Friday. The Nov. 11 episode happened in an entryway outside the jail pod where Mr. Marshall was held. He had been arrested Nov. 7 on allegations of trespassing and disturbing the peace. His relatives say they are frustrated that the authorities will not let them view video of what happened. The case comes a year after jurors awarded $4.65 million to the family of a homeless man who died in the jail in 2010.

Question: Who is focused on cutting taxes?

President Obama has already started to grapple with that change. Under orders from the White House, the Bureau of Reclamation has begun studies on the impact of global warming on 22 Western water basins and is drawing up multidecade plans to begin rebuilding its Western water management systems. But a new water infrastructure across half of the United States could cost taxpayers billions of dollars — at a moment when Republicans are still focused on cutting taxes and lowering government spending. In Congress, the Republican majority has targeted climate change research as well as federal policies intended to stop climate change.

Question: Which party controlled congress at the time of this article's release?

On Monday, Mrs. Clinton helped cause biotechnology stocks to fall after she posted on Twitter, criticizing “price gouging” in the drug market, specifically referring to one company’s sudden decision to raise the price of a 62-year-old drug to $750 a tablet from $13.50. (She repeated the story in Iowa on Tuesday.) The Nasdaq Biotechnology Index fell more than 4 percent on Monday on fears that government action to control pharmaceutical prices could be coming. On Tuesday, the index fell more modestly but had recovered somewhat by the end of the day. Wall Street analysts said that many of the proposals were unlikely to be enacted with Republicans controlling Congress, even if Mrs. Clinton became president. “Bottom line is, politically this doesn’t happen,” Terry Haines, Washington analyst for the investment bank Evercore ISI, told clients on a webcast.

Question: When is the first day of Masters?

In theater terms, Woods is in previews. For him, opening night is April 9, the first day of the Masters. If he is worried about the state of his game, Woods hid it behind his actor’s mask. After signing his scorecard, he stepped to the microphone and deadpanned, “I’m just doing this so I won’t get fined.” Everybody, starting with Woods, laughed at his sendup of the media-averse Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Woods’s stab at humor hit closer to the funny bone than the attempt by the marshal at the par-3 seventh hole on Thursday. As Woods’s group approached the tee box, the man announced to the fans, “No jokes about missing teeth, blondes or 5-irons.”

Question: What day of the week did Federica Mogherini hold a news conference?

“I see no reason to delay,” said Linas Linkevicius, the foreign minister of Lithuania. He noted that a cease-fire, known as the Minsk agreement, between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatist rebels had not yet been fully carried out. “If we don’t see real progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreement, then we need to go further,” said Didier Reynders, the Belgian foreign minister. “Without that, we need to prolong the sanctions.” Federica Mogherini, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, told reporters at a news conference on Monday that the union could reach a political decision as soon as Thursday at the summit meeting here. “The general assessment today was clearly going in the direction of the rollover of sanctions,” she said.

Question: What would the deal force Green to open?

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: Who ruled on a crucial smartphone patent case in 2012?

Warning of the business impact of legal uncertainty, the National Association of Manufacturers wrote a friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to take the case. The group said it took no position on the criminal or civil cases. Instead, the trade association called for clarity. “Companies,” the brief states, “need to know where the legal lines are drawn in order to structure their transactions for goods intended for eventual import into the United States.” Richard A. Posner, a federal appeals court judge and a prominent legal theorist, wrote the opinion in the Motorola case. His opinions, law scholars note, are as much conceptual essays as legal documents — often debated, and never boring. His ruling in a smartphone patent case in 2012, for example, was a sweeping critique of the patent system, describing it as a system in “chaos.”

Question: Who died?

But the arresting stories of the two unarmed women, and most of all the vivid images of Ms. Sabbagh’s death, have dramatized the police violence more effectively than any statistics, rights advocates say. “She is a member of a very tame opposition party, by no means a revolutionary, and yet she is subjected to this brutal force,” said Amr Abdel Rahman, a researcher with the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. “The streets are becoming much less safe for Egyptian activists from any walk of the political spectrum than it was even last year,” he said.

Question: What can one person's perception be easily woven into?

“It isn’t him, though,” I said gently. “I was mistaken.” I immediately regretted saying anything. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. She nestled into me, her head still turned in his direction. I longed to give her the world. The man packed up his minivan and drove off, and my alternate reality went right along with him. We climbed into the car and I pulled out. All the talks my daughter and I had had over the years about her father’s absence swirled around us, filling the car like plumes of smoke from a freshly lit fire. I had always chosen my words carefully, conscious that one person’s perception can so easily be woven into another person’s foundation, forever obscuring an impartial truth.

Answer: another person’s foundation

She nestled into me, her head still turned in his direction. I longed to give her the world. The man packed up his minivan and drove off, and my alternate reality went right along with him. We climbed into the car and I pulled out. All the talks my daughter and I had had over the years about her father’s absence swirled around us, filling the car like plumes of smoke from a freshly lit fire. <hl> I had always chosen my words carefully, conscious that one person’s perception can so easily be woven into another person’s foundation , forever obscuring an impartial truth. <hl>

Question: How did the adults make the kids feel?

Kwame Anthony Appiah: If the police haven’t changed the behavior, that suggests they haven’t done enough. Unless this child is a committed lifelong criminal and doesn’t care about this sort of thing, the fact of going before a juvenile court might make a difference. Being scared a little bit by police intervention would be a good thing. I grew up in a place where every adult was Auntie This or Uncle That and everybody was in charge of you. You had absolutely no right as a child to ignore the suggestions, advice and admonishment of other adults; that was one of the reasons we all felt so safe. There would always be somebody looking out for us.

Question: Who had the first overall pick in the major league amateur draft?

“If you hit it well, you should get rewarded for it,” said the Vanderbilt junior shortstop Dansby Swanson, the most outstanding player at last year’s Series and the first overall pick in the major league amateur draft, by Arizona. “I think that’s what is happening this year.” Swanson led the Commodores with 15 homers after hitting only three last season. Scoring rose as well, to 5.44 runs per game in the regular season from 5.08, reversing a recent trend. Curiously, so did strikeouts by pitchers, who discovered they could throw the new ball harder and snap sharper breaking pitches. Before Iowa lost in regional play, Hawkeyes Coach Rick Heller said he had never seen as many pitchers hit 95 miles per hour on the radar gun as he did this season. “I think the biggest thing, quite frankly, is our pitchers enjoy throwing it more,” said Louisiana State Coach Paul Mainieri, whose pitching staff struck out 93 more batters than it did last year. “There are no blisters. They get a little bit more movement, maybe even a little more velocity.”

Question: China has been considering better interest rates since what year?

They will also have to compete for customer deposits by paying higher interest rates to savers. China’s leaders hope that consumers, with extra money in their accounts, will increase their spending; Beijing sees consumer demand as a main driver of the country’s future economic growth. The challenges are significant, for banks and the economy. China has been considering more liberal interest rates since the mid-1980s, and the introduction of deposit insurance since at least 1993. Policy makers have hesitated in part because similar financial reforms have set off crises in other markets.

Question: How many of the studies were secondary prevention trials?

Before 1983, six randomized controlled trials involving 2,467 men were conducted. None were explicit studies of the recommended diet (and none involved women), but all explored the relationship between dietary fat, cholesterol and mortality. Five of them were secondary prevention trials — meaning that they involved only men with known problems already. Only one included healthy participants, who would be at lower risk, and therefore would be likely to have less benefit from dietary changes. That’s a lot of participants. Moreover, many of them were at high risk. And in all of them, there was no significant difference among them in the rate of death from coronary heart disease. There were also no differences in mortality from all causes, which is the metric that matters.

Question: What store opened next door?

Next door is Gucci, the first American store to open under the guidance of the new creative director, Alessandro Michele. His vision — which emphasizes the brand’s traditional marks, logos and patterns, with a little extra naturalist flair — is an optimal fit for this location, as close to a fast-food environment as one can get while purchasing a reversible nylon bomber for $1,400, or a polo shirt with a snake embroidered into the collar for $810. The store is large and spare, not contemplative so much as blunt, and emphasizes items (like three-stripe sneakers and logo-print handbags) that are identifiable to even the most confused shopper. The store is currently carrying the cruise collection, but still it captures the conflict between Mr. Michele’s responsibilities to the brand as a source of innovation and as a source of gift-shop totems, two approaches to luxury that don’t always complement each other.

Question: Who interviewed brother Noah about the batter?

Let’s start with an update from our last episode, which you may recall concerned a battle between a monk and United Airlines. The confrontation between a tranquillity-seeking man and an immovable corporation proved irresistible to websites like Yahoo News, Gawker and Boing Boing, to name a few. And a reporter from a local TV station was dispatched to the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, in Abiquiu, N.M., where the monk, Brother Noah, was asked to repeat his not very hostile kiss-off to an unyielding United phone rep: “Thank you for speaking. God bless you. I will pray for you. But you have not been helpful.” The column reverberated enough that the Haggler worried it had disturbed the otherwise placid life of the monastery. But Brother Noah emailed a few days after publication with reassuring words. “I am sure that nobody enters a monastery to become an Internet meme,” he wrote, “but the brothers and I are doing O.K.”

Question: When is Ms. Kodar expected to go to a university sponsored Welles symposium?

Ms. Dow said she was struck by Welles’s account of a wine-soaked session with Ernest Hemingway, who had just won the Nobel Prize for literature. “It should have gone to Isak Dinesen,” Hemingway said, according to Ms. Dow’s description of Welles’s remembrance. Ms. Dow said it would take perhaps five months to arrange the papers for public use. In early June, Ms. Kodar is expected to attend a university-sponsored Welles symposium that will honor donors to the film archive. It promises to be an unusual affair, one that Welles may have appreciated. One presentation, Mr. Hallman said, will feature music composed for an ensemble that plays toy instruments. Ms. Kodar, he added, may have something else up her sleeve. “She has asked us to tell people she’s planning to do magic tricks with the audience,” Mr. Hallman said.

Question: 34% of what voters would support Trump?

“I like Ben Carson because he’s not government, and I’m tired of government,” said Doug May, 70, a retired chief information officer in Bluffton, S.C. Mr. May added, referring to the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin: “What worries me the most about Donald Trump is what he would do if put into a situation where he is sitting down with Putin.
