Question: Is the table set?

Under the agreement, the Port Authority and Amtrak will provide staff for the corporation, and the authority will arrange for office space and logistical support. The corporation will own the new tunnel and enter into operating agreements with railroads to use it. Mr. Foxx said the governing structure would help advance the project quickly. “When I sounded the alarm this summer, my goal was to get the necessary parties to the table,” he said. “Now, that table is set.”

Question: What does Mr. Chow claim not to be?

“It’s not like I get impressed once, and I’m over it, and I need something new,” she said. “I love this teacup. It impresses me. When I love something, whether things or people, I love them very deeply.” She is the third Mrs. Chow. (Or maybe even the fourth; some magazine profiles over the years have indicated that Mr. Chow was briefly married in the 1960s. Asked to clarify, he responded: “I’m not a family lawyer, nor an accountant. I don’t think it’s relevant.”) She was preceded by the model Tina Chow, who died in 1992; and, before that, Grace Coddington, who is now the creative director at Vogue.

Question: Where did Mr. McCulloch defend his handling of the case?

But the grand jury could not finish in time, the St. Louis County prosecutor, Robert P. McCulloch, told a law school audience here on Friday. Instead, it finished its work on a Monday and its decision to not indict the police officer was announced that evening. Protests followed that night, leading to looting and arson that left Ferguson’s downtown devastated. Speaking to a symposium on Ferguson at the St. Louis University School of Law, Mr. McCulloch defended the timing of the announcement, along with his handling of the grand jury, which was widely criticized in the days after the rioting.

Question: How much did it cost per hour for one child for a sitter?

Chime’s sitters in New York cost $17 an hour for one child and an extra dollar an hour for each additional child (the company keeps 10 percent of every transaction), and the app’s automatic payment feature can help ease the awkwardness of settling up at the end of the night. Given the credibility that Chime seems to have earned among parents who have already used the app, it’s a shame that one of its failings is so much more ordinary. I ran across some technical trouble while taking the app through its paces. Mr. Conrad admitted that “there might be a few rough edges,” and another of the mothers I interviewed, Jamie Kosmar, said she had yet to successfully use the app because it still has “a couple of bugs.” The app’s website does not seem to have any of the same problems, however. And as Chime is still brand-new, it seems likely that its developers will be able to clean up its technical troubles. If it does, it could become a reliable alternative to the old-fashioned sitter next door.

Question: The US dollar has risen how much since September?

The diverging paths of the two central banks prompted investors to put money into dollars, on the expectation that interest rates in the United States will rise and offer a better return than in Europe, where interest rates are falling. The euro fell to 1.20 against the dollar on Friday, its lowest since June 2010, while the yield, or market interest rate, on German two-year government bonds fell to a new low of minus 0.11 percent. The yield has been below zero since September; investors were willing to effectively pay the German government to keep their money safe. The larger picture is not merely that the dollar is gaining against the euro. Signs that the Fed is getting closer to raising its benchmark interest rate from zero have helped the United States currency to soar against its counterparts in Japan, Britain and in major emerging markets. Against a broad basket of currencies, the dollar has risen more than 13 percent since September to its highest level in almost six years.

Question: When did McConnel think the white house should push the Pacific Trade Agreement?

Mr. McConnell’s acknowledgment that Barack Obama is actually president might cheer some Democrats. But it doesn’t mean he intends to be too cooperative with Mr. Obama during the president’s final months in office. A die-hard protector of his state’s coal industry, Mr. McConnell immediately dismissed the new Paris climate change accord as nothing more than a “long-term planning document.” He told The Washington Post that the White House shouldn’t push the new Pacific trade pact until a lame-duck session next year — if at all — before the president leaves office.

Question: What descent is Rosina Sfyridou of?

Rosina Sfyridou, a German of Greek descent who lives in Frankfurt and was among a small group carrying a Syriza flag near the Main River at midday, said she wanted to fight for democracy and social justice, and not only in Greece. “The troika is making life difficult,” she said. “Schools are closing. Greeks can’t get proper health care. I have family there; we’re closer to the problem.” Panagiotis Tsianakas, another German of Greek descent, headed to a central square to hear a speech by a Syriza representative, Giorgos Chondros. “The European finance ministers are brushing democracy to the side,” Mr. Tsianakas said.

Question: What is the name of the prisoner?

Night had fallen at the Clinton Correctional Facility in far northern New York when the prison guards came for Patrick Alexander. They handcuffed him and took him into a broom closet for questioning. Then, Mr. Alexander said in an interview last week, the beatings began. As the three guards, who wore no name badges, punched him and slammed his head against the wall, he said they shouted questions: “Where are they going? What did you hear? How much are they paying you to keep your mouth shut?” One of the guards put a plastic bag over his head, Mr. Alexander said, and threatened to waterboard him.

Question: What does the Fourth Amendment protect ?

SAN FRANCISCO — TODAY, we’re filing a lawsuit against the National Security Agency to protect the rights of the 500 million people who use Wikipedia every month. We’re doing so because a fundamental pillar of democracy is at stake: the free exchange of knowledge and ideas. Our lawsuit says that the N.S.A.’s mass surveillance of Internet traffic on American soil — often called “upstream” surveillance — violates the Fourth Amendment, which protects the right to privacy, as well as the First Amendment, which protects the freedoms of expression and association. We also argue that this agency activity exceeds the authority granted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that Congress amended in 2008.

Question: Who reported that there was a 2.3 percent annual pace in economy expansion?

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: Which photographer became star because of Rolling Stone?

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: What was Cookworthy's first successful piece of porcelain?

Not long afterward, while out for a walk, Cookworthy stopped to ask mine workers about the local clay they were using to patch the cracks in a furnace. De Waal juxtaposes Cookworthy’s small-time efforts to fire the stuff with the enterprises of Josiah Wedgwood, the potentate of English pottery, who sent a factotum all the way to a mountain in the Cherokee Nation in the Carolinas to retrieve five tons of white clay. By contrast, Cookworthy’s first successful piece, a cider tankard, is porcelain that “comes into being through walking and noticing and picking things up and feeling texture, through listening intently, openly, to men working by the side of the road.”

Question: What is Deborah J. Glick's position?

The potential cost was enough to raise questions from Assemblywoman Deborah J.

Question: what was terrence collingsworth's profession ?

Over the past decade, companies doing business in Colombia, like Chiquita Brands and Dole Food, have incurred the wrath of Terrence Collingsworth, a lawyer who has accused them of mistreating workers or conspiring to kill labor activists. But these days, Mr. Collingsworth is on the defensive. One of his targets, Drummond, a coal producer based in Birmingham, Ala., recently asked a federal judge to hold the lawyer in contempt as part of a libel suit it is pressing against him. Chiquita and Dole, pointing to the Drummond case, have also raised questions about his practices. The problems engulfing Mr. Collingsworth underscore the mounting difficulties facing a small group of plaintiffs’ lawyers who have carved out a niche suing multinational corporations on charges that they violated human rights overseas.

Question: When was "Three Inventions for Chamber Orchestra" completed?

The concert, led by Mr. Milarsky, opened with Mr. Adès’s “Origin of the Harp,” whose glittering surfaces were dulled to an ambiguous hue in this tentative reading. An early work inspired by a painting of the same name by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, this enigmatic chamber tone poem is scored for clarinets, violas and cellos, instruments whose dark sonorities combine to luminous effect, along with percussion, including a rainstick. George Benjamin’s “Three Inventions for Chamber Orchestra,” a glistening, texturally rich work, fared better, its complexity revealed in clear detail here. Completed in 1995 as a tribute to Messiaen and Alexander Goehr, Mr. Benjamin’s mentors, it features colorful use of winds and brass (including contrabass clarinet, fluegelhorn and euphonium) and harp (an instrument conspicuously absent from Mr. Adès’s piece), with low rumbling sonorities and jittery fragments in the strings, punctuated by gongs.

Completed in <hl> 1995 <hl> as a tribute to Messiaen and Alexander Goehr, Mr. Benjamin’s mentors, it features colorful use of winds and brass (including contrabass clarinet, fluegelhorn and euphonium) and harp (an instrument conspicuously absent from Mr. Adès’s piece), with low rumbling sonorities and jittery fragments in the strings, punctuated by gongs.


Question: What is the EU afraid of happening if the A.L.P. is expanded?

Reached for comment, a United States military official said that Afghan police officials had not formally approached the American military command to discuss expanding the Afghan Local Police forces, which the official described as “important.” But European members of the NATO coalition have expressed concern about the expansion, officials said. And Franz-Michael Mellbin, the European Union’s special representative to Afghanistan, said that even successful reform of the Afghan Local Police, or A.L.P., would not be enough to justify its expansion. “There is nobody on the European side who want to invest in anything that even remotely resembles the A.L.P.,” Mr. Mellbin said in an interview. “The fear is still there that the A.L.P. becomes the arms of local strongmen. We do not think the A.L.P. has worked — especially in the north, where they have become the extension of local interest groups.”

Question: What kind of activities are the tourists content with doing while in the city?

“We got to eat at the Boathouse for Sunday brunch, and we really enjoyed that, so we were talking about doing the more touristy things,” she said. “It’s nice to come back and have more of an excuse to do the touristy things.” Mr. Garcia said he was neither relieved nor disappointed by the blizzard’s last-minute zag to the east. “I’m indifferent,” he said. “It was nice weather. I enjoyed it. I was out till midnight walking Monday night — had a late dinner at Quality Meats and walked around. So it was great. We’re used to the hype in Miami, with the hurricanes. I guess it’s terrible if you have to run a business, but for us it didn’t affect us.”

Question: What is the unemployment rate?

In addition to announcing 211,000 new hires last month — a bit more than Wall Street had expected — the Labor Department also revised upward its earlier estimate of job creation in September and October by a total of 26,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5 percent. The labor market strength evident in the November data removes the last major uncertainty before the Fed decision. “This is a green light from our perspective,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors. Wall Street, which in the past has sold off after strong jobs data and the prospect of higher interest rates, greeted the report with enthusiasm, perhaps because it removes any remaining uncertainty about the Fed’s plans. Stocks reversed Thursday’s losses and rose more than 2 percent; bond yields fell slightly.  The report on Friday echoes other recent positive data on job openings, new weekly claims for unemployment benefits and private payroll surveys, Mr. Orlando added. “This is a good number for liftoff,” he said, referring to the expected move by the central bank, which has held rates near zero since December 2008. Over all, the Labor Department data painted a picture of an economy that is growing steadily and creating jobs at a healthy pace, even as wage gains remain subdued and many Americans are still stuck on the sidelines of the recovery. If hiring continues at a healthy pace next year, as most economists now predict, it could also blunt Republican criticism in the presidential campaign of Democratic economic policies, which have been a prominent target for the current crop of G.O.P. candidates. With an average monthly payroll increase of 210,000 so far this year, the 211,000 gain in November — though still subject to revision — has a metronome-like element of consistency. It is also near the average monthly increase of 199,000 in 2013 and 260,000 in 2014. “For a long time, I’ve thought the labor market was in pretty good shape, and this just confirms that,” said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York. After the release of the jobs report, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Patrick T. Harker, added his voice to the chorus of Fed officials who said it was time for the central bank to raise interest rates.

Question: After Seattle led by 24-14, how many touchdowns did New England score?

But the Super Bowl was full of drama minus the courtroom. The game had all the classic ingredients, including a contrast in coaching styles, with the dour and opaque Belichick in charge of the Patriots and the animated chatterbox Pete Carroll directing the Seahawks. It was 14-14 at halftime, then 24-14 in favor of Seattle in the fourth quarter, and then it really got good: Brady and New England rallied to score two touchdowns and take a 28-24 lead, only to see Seattle and the quarterback Russell Wilson move the ball back down the field in a beautiful hurry.

Question: How can you protect files in your personal computer?

There’s little individuals can do about information stolen in broad data breaches, like the one recently reported at the health insurer Anthem, Ms. Velasquez said. But you can take steps, like declining to provide your Social Security number unless it is a requirement; shredding documents with any personal information before disposing of them; and storing sensitive documents, like tax returns, in a locked file.

Question: Who compose Viva Navarra?

Brahms described his Three Intermezzos (Op. 117) as “lullabies to my sorrows.” Mr. Kissin played them with deep empathy, allowing the notes of the first to cling to one another in a show of quiet, poignant reluctance.

Three other city portraits by Albéniz and the dazzling “Viva Navarra!” by Larregla followed, showcases for Mr. Kissin’s refined play of colors.

Question: what drawing styles were present in the room?

Imagine a day in the life of the Pope family at Hill-Stead, their 33,000-square-foot, white clapboard, Colonial Revival-style home perched on a hilltop in Farmington. Perhaps they served lunch in their expansive dining room to a gathering of friends that included James McNeill Whistler, Mary Cassatt, Henry James, Edith Wharton and President Theodore Roosevelt. Maybe they retired to the drawing room, where, surrounded by Impressionist masterpieces, they enjoyed a concert performed on a custom-designed, six-legged Steinway grand piano. After that, they might have headed out for a round of golf on the six-hole course on the grounds, or taken a stroll along one of the paths that meandered through the picturesque farmland and vistas of the Litchfield Hills.

Question: Who designed the graphic memoir "Fun Home"?

Diverse storytelling benefits all readers, gay or straight, Mr. Griepp of ICv2 said. “A good story is enjoyable to everybody,” he said, pointing to the steady sales for Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir “Fun Home” as an example. The book, about a lesbian cartoonist and her closeted gay father, has been a best seller since its release in 2007, he said. Adapted for the stage, “Fun Home” won five Tony Awards in June, including one for best musical. Jon Goldwater felt the need to modernize Archie Comics when he came aboard as publisher. “It was crystal clear that Archie was not diverse,” he said, so he introduced Kevin Keller, a gay character, in 2010, eventually giving Kevin his own series. “It was a cultural decision and business decision,” Mr. Goldwater said. “They go hand in hand.”

Question: Who portrays Lili Elbe in "The Danish Girl"?

‘The Danish Girl’ (R, 2:00) The story of a transgender pioneer, Lili Elbe, becomes a tasteful, sensitive and somewhat inert costume drama in the hands of Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech.”) Eddie Redmayne plays Lili, whom we first encounter as Einar Wegener, a Danish landscape painter. His wife, Gerda (Alicia Vikander), also an artist, is the emotional center of the film, in part because Mr. Redmayne’s performance, while technically flawless, keeps the audience at a distance from Lili’s experience.

Question: How much was Bruno's plate of bread?

These enablers have given the unusual, original pizzas and visually arresting appetizers at Bruno more media attention than you may expect for a fledgling East Village pizzeria whose chefs have never run a full restaurant kitchen. In the middle of September, New York magazine’s website ran an article claiming that Bruno’s $18 plate of bread and fermented mozzarella “might just be the city’s most impressive new bread course.” This was a scoop; nobody else had written about the bread. It may well be that nobody else had tasted the bread, either. It wasn’t on the menu then. An infrequent special, it wasn’t on the menu the last time I ate there, about a week ago.

Question: What was the average percentage rate white teaching candidates received on the LAST-2?

A federal judge on Friday found that an exam for New York teaching candidates was racially discriminatory because it did not measure skills necessary to do the job, the latest step in a court battle over teacher qualifications that has spanned nearly 20 years. The exam, the second incarnation of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Test, called the LAST-2, was administered from 2004 through 2012 and was designed to test an applicant’s knowledge of liberal arts and science. But the test was found to fail minority teaching candidates at a higher rate than white candidates. According to Friday’s decision, written by Judge Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court in Manhattan, the pass rate for African-American and Latino candidates was between 54 percent and 75 percent of the pass rate for white candidates. Once it was established that minority applicants were failing at a disproportionately high rate, the burden shifted to education officials to prove that the skills being tested were necessary to do the job; otherwise, the test would be ruled discriminatory. In creating the test, the company, National Evaluation Systems, sent surveys to educators around New York State to determine if the test’s “content objectives” were relevant and important to teaching. The samples for both surveys were small, however, Judge Wood said. The judge found that National Evaluation Systems, now called Evaluation Systems, part of Pearson Education, went about the process backward.

But the test was found to fail minority teaching candidates at a higher rate than white candidates. According to Friday’s decision, written by Judge Kimba M. Wood of Federal District Court in Manhattan, the pass rate for African-American and Latino candidates was between 54 percent and <hl> 75 <hl> percent of the pass rate for white candidates. Once it was established that minority applicants were failing at a disproportionately high rate, the burden shifted to education officials to prove that the skills being tested were necessary to do the job; otherwise, the test would be ruled discriminatory. In creating the test, the company, National Evaluation Systems, sent surveys to educators around New York State to determine if the test’s “content objectives” were relevant and important to teaching. The samples for both surveys were small, however, Judge Wood said. The judge found that National Evaluation Systems, now called Evaluation Systems, part of Pearson Education, went about the process backward.


Question: Approximately how much will the budget cuts be?

As laid out in the Conservative manifesto, the cuts would be deep outside certain protected areas like the National Health Service, and might be about 30 billion pounds, or about $49 billion. Mr. Osborne is driven by a Thatcherite belief in the value of a smaller state to free up individual and corporate enterprise and encourage those able to work to do so, and such cuts could create political tensions, and even unrest, in the country. Mr. Osborne is respected, but his economic theology is not shared by every Tory, which could also lead to defections and close votes. Mr. Cameron has never been very popular with some of his backbenchers. They are sure to be shocked and overjoyed at the victory he brought them, as they feared Labour would manage, with the Scots, to create a majority to throw the Tories out of power. Even the most optimistic Conservatives were talking about winning 300 seats, which pollsters thought was hallucinatory.

Question: What was the speed of Syndergaard's fastest pitch?

Syndergaard appeared confident and collected early on. He struck out Jimmy Rollins twice — once swinging, on a 97-mile-per-hour fastball, and then looking, on a 99-m.p.h. fastball. He struck out Joc Pederson, another touted rookie, leaving him flailing at a curveball. He showed improved confidence in his off-speed pitches, using the Dodgers’ aggressiveness against them.

Answer: 99-m.p.h.

Question: Who is president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia?

Answer: Patrick T. Harker

In addition to announcing 211,000 new hires last month — a bit more than Wall Street had expected — the Labor Department also revised upward its earlier estimate of job creation in September and October by a total of 26,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5 percent. The labor market strength evident in the November data removes the last major uncertainty before the Fed decision. “This is a green light from our perspective,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investors. Wall Street, which in the past has sold off after strong jobs data and the prospect of higher interest rates, greeted the report with enthusiasm, perhaps because it removes any remaining uncertainty about the Fed’s plans. Stocks reversed Thursday’s losses and rose more than 2 percent; bond yields fell slightly. The report on Friday echoes other recent positive data on job openings, new weekly claims for unemployment benefits and private payroll surveys, Mr. Orlando added. “This is a good number for liftoff,” he said, referring to the expected move by the central bank, which has held rates near zero since December 2008. Over all, the Labor Department data painted a picture of an economy that is growing steadily and creating jobs at a healthy pace, even as wage gains remain subdued and many Americans are still stuck on the sidelines of the recovery. If hiring continues at a healthy pace next year, as most economists now predict, it could also blunt Republican criticism in the presidential campaign of Democratic economic policies, which have been a prominent target for the current crop of G.O.P. candidates. With an average monthly payroll increase of 210,000 so far this year, the 211,000 gain in November — though still subject to revision — has a metronome-like element of consistency. It is also near the average monthly increase of 199,000 in 2013 and 260,000 in 2014. “For a long time, I’ve thought the labor market was in pretty good shape, and this just confirms that,” said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York. <hl> After the release of the jobs report, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Patrick T. Harker , added his voice to the chorus of Fed officials who said it was time for the central bank to raise interest rates. <hl>

Question: Who was Rousey chasing?

Rousey started the fight on the attack, perhaps looking for another quick win. But she found herself chasing Holm around the Octagon, all the time taking hard punches and kicks. She struggled to get Holm on the ground, thanks in part to Holm’s superior reach. Even when Rousey began to apply her signature armbar, Holm eluded it and continued the barrage. A nasty kick to the head finished Rousey off. Rousey was taken to a hospital to be checked after the fight and did not make a postfight statement. But in a brief post on Instagram on Monday, she wrote, “I’m going to take a little bit of time, but I’ll be back.”

Question: what was the purpose of practice?

When practice started, Lundqvist took his place in the same goal he always does, and Talbot took his place at the opposite end. The Rangers began to scrimmage, but much of the action seemed to gravitate toward Talbot’s end. Lundqvist knelt down, waiting. He started stretching again. He looked bored. But the purpose of this practice was mostly to get the players moving around, their blood flowing on their day off, and Lundqvist would probably be better served saving his energy. The series against the Capitals has been grueling.

Question: What did Washington fear that Russia would do to Ukraine?

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 becomes of the time frame for running out of water

If the connection between groundwater and surface water is considered, that time frame for running out of water altogether will almost certainly be even shorter. Arizona’s top water official told ProPublica that it was both politically difficult and costly to properly account for the interconnection. But deep in a 685-page document that is part of Arizona’s water plan, the state lists 42 groundwater basins that it says are connected to surface water, indicating a potential conflict over rights to those supplies. It’s unclear how much water flows from one into the other, but the documents show that many of the water sources are heavily relied on as sources of both groundwater and surface supplies at the same time. Thomas Buschatzke, the director of Arizona’s Department of Water Resources, acknowledged that pumping from wells could dry up streams, but said the current law kept the two resources separate, and “it would be a huge upset to the economy to do away with that.”

Question: What is a smart business move?

Phil Jimenez, an artist known for his work on Wonder Woman and the Amazing Spider-Man comics, says that many readers no longer want to see the effeminate stereotype of the gay man in comics. Instead, they want gay superheroes to embody normative behavior — to live as typical males. “As long as the dude is dude enough, then he’s acceptable,” he said. Mr. Jimenez, who was recently featured on an  installment of the PBS Digital Studios series “First Person” that looked at queerness in comics, applauded efforts by mainstream publishers to reach gay and lesbian readers, saying it was a smart business move.

Question: What were the diplomats that condemned the raid?

One of the final guests interviewed in the Bugun TV studio during the raid was Selahattin Demirtas, the co-chairman of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party, or H.D.P. Mr. Demirtas called the move to seize the media group “mafia-like” behavior by Mr. Erdogan’s party, which is known by its Turkish initials, A.K.P. On Wednesday night, Mr. Erdogan suddenly claimed on live television that the opposition H.D.P. campaign was secretly being run by President Obama’s election team. Although the accusation was widely mocked on social networks, it reached many Turkish ears unchallenged. The raid was condemned as an attack on press freedom by opposition politicians, rights groups and European diplomats.

Question: Who is the star of "The Nun's Story"?

1:30 P.M. (TCM) THE NUN’S STORY (1959) “The Nun’s Story” was nominated for eight Academy Awards. Unfortunately, it was up against one of the most celebrated films ever, “Ben-Hur,” and came out Oscar-less. But the film was a Hollywood success even without the hardware. Based on Kathryn Hulme’s novel of the same title, this drama stars Audrey Hepburn as a young Belgian who becomes a nursing nun around the time of World War II. Bosley Crowther, writing in The Times, said that the film’s screenwriter, Robert Anderson, and director, Fred Zinnemann, “have derived an equally amazing motion picture of an extraordinary dedicated life.”
