Question: Where is Anthony Winston apparently from?

Your claim that the negotiations place tough constraints on Iran rings hollow, based on the permissibility of Iran’s keeping its nuclear installations and the large number of centrifuges still allowed. Furthermore, a 10-year limit to an agreement makes it almost worthless. ANTHONY WINSTON East Brunswick, N.J. To the Editor: As a Democrat who supports Israel, I am saddened and dismayed that its prime minister would use the podium of one of our most hallowed political institutions to bad-mouth a deal that has not even been struck. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Question: What non-politician is mentioned?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech was a fascinating demonstration of political savvy — Israeli political savvy.

Question: What unit is unable to block effectively?

Equally problematic for the Patriots, their banged-up offensive line cannot seem to block anyone and now must keep J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney off quarterback Tom Brady. Perhaps Coach Bill Belichick should consider sitting Brady for his own protection and concede this one. This game will also see the longtime Patriots defensive anchor Vince Wilfork lining up against his former team for the first time. To hear Wilfork talk about it, Sunday’s game is likely to be a bit bittersweet for him, to say the least. “I never thought that, in my whole career, I’d be playing in something other than a Patriots helmet, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes, and it did,” Wilfork said during the week. “I will always love Bill Belichick, that organization, the teammates, the fans. I will always have my love for those guys because of the 11 great years we had up there.” PICK: Texans

Question: How many justices accepted Mr. Yates argument?

In two opinions, five justices accepted Mr. Yates’s argument that fish were not the sort of tangible objects with which the law was concerned. Their analysis was based on a close reading of the words and structure of the law. The case arose from a 2007 search of the Miss Katie, Mr. Yates’s fishing vessel. A Florida field officer, John Jones, boarded it at sea and noticed fish that seemed less than 20 inches long, which was under the minimum legal size of red grouper at the time. Mr. Jones, an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and a federal deputy, measured the fish and placed the 72 he deemed too small in a crate. He issued a citation and instructed Mr. Yates to take the crate to port for seizure. But Mr. Yates had the fish thrown overboard and replaced with larger ones. A second inspection in port aroused suspicions, and a crew member eventually told law enforcement officials what had happened.
