Question: Who did a little trash talking?

“He cried a little bit,” Manning said. “I didn’t think that was really necessary. I think Odell took the higher road, and I’m proud of him for that.” Manning later did a little trash talking, although in his typically subtle way. He credited Beckham for regaining his composure later in the game, and then Manning mentioned that the Panthers were in a zone defense for almost the entire game — except for when Beckham caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass. “It was probably the only time Norman played Odell man-to-man, and Odell beat him.”

Answer: Manning

Question: What does Apples search engine allow them to potentially do?

Venture capitalists are funding new search start-ups that treat information and the web as legacy products and that focus on actions and apps instead. And while Google, with $65 billion in the bank, can buy any start-up it likes, one company it cannot buy — Apple — is also joining the mobile search fray. On Thursday, Apple released an early, or “beta,” version of the next version of its iOS mobile software, giving iPhone and iPad users the ability to tap Apple’s own search engine for searches of music, apps and local services — allowing them to potentially bypass Google.

Question: What is the first political virtue?

If you think that human nature is good and powerful, then you go around frustrated because the perfect society has not yet been achieved. But if you go through life believing that our reason is not that great, our individual skills are not that impressive, and our goodness is severely mottled, then you’re sort of amazed life has managed to be as sweet as it is. You’re grateful for all the institutions our ancestors gave us, like the Constitution and our customs, which shape us to be better than we’d otherwise be. Appreciation becomes the first political virtue and the need to perfect the gifts of others is the first political task.

Question: Agains the Philadelphia Athletics, how many games did the Yankees win out of three?

Yankees players and Manager Casey Stengel were fined a total of $500 for their intemperance. The Yankees won two of three against the Philadelphia Athletics, and the Red Sox matched that in Washington. With two games to play, Boston still led by one game. The tension in the pennant race riveted both cities. In an article on reaction in New England to the Soviet Union’s getting an atomic bomb, The Times wrote: “People appeared almost unanimous in their opinion that if the Russians had the atomic bomb and intended to use it, there was nothing that they, individually, could do about it. A more immediate pressing concern was whether Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox would hit any home runs against the New York Yankees.” Pneumonia had put DiMaggio in the hospital, and he had lost 18 pounds, but he decided it was time to return. The Yankees proclaimed it Joe DiMaggio Day, and for an hour before the game, he was lauded and showered with gifts, including 300 quarts of ice cream and a speedboat.

A three-foot-long alligator that attained fleeting fame on Thursday night after the police posted a picture of it on Twitter crossing a busy Manhattan street during the evening rush died unexpectedly on Friday, according to a spokeswoman for the Animal Care Centers of NYC.  Officers from the Police Department’s 34th Precinct found the animal crossing Ninth Avenue at 205th Street in the Inwood section of Manhattan on Thursday night and, after posting the photo and a series of jokes on Twitter, took it to the agency’s Manhattan Animal Care Center, said Alexandra Silver, the spokeswoman.

Question: What is marijuana legally used for according to state laws?

Defense lawyers had argued in court filings that the charges should be dismissed in part because marijuana’s Schedule I classification was arbitrary and unconstitutional. They asserted that the 10th Amendment barred the federal government from superseding state laws legalizing marijuana for medicinal use. Judge Mueller ruled that any adjustments to the law were better left to Congress. “This is not the court and this is not the time,” she said Wednesday, according to a report by The Associated Press. A written ruling will be issued by the end of the week. The decision dismayed advocates of marijuana legalization.

Question: What was the name of the American trainer

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: Erika Kirby works at which university?

Of course, most lawmakers in Washington spend long periods away from family. But by declaring the preservation of his family life a key concern in taking on a job that is a seven-day-a-week venture — the sort of job he sought once before, in 2012, when he was the Republican vice-presidential nominee — Mr. Ryan, 45, may be ushering in a new era for a position traditionally held by older congressmen who spent years rising through party ranks. “In U.S. society, we often talk about ‘working moms’ but not about ‘working dads,’ and the work-life policies that organizations do provide are often considered as being mainly for women,” said Erika Kirby a professor of communication studies and an authority on work-life issues at Creighton University in Omaha. “So I think Representative Ryan’s call for protecting his family time within a demanding job is extremely significant.”

Question: how common is investor activism in Asia?

In the end, it was close. The merger was backed by 69.53 percent of the shareholders who voted on Friday, narrowly above the amount needed. Investor activism like the Samsung fight is relatively uncommon in Asia. Publicly traded companies often remain under the control of close-knit family groups or state-backed shareholders, and legal protections for minority investors can be patchy. In many cases, activism in Asia plays out over a longer horizon, with players favoring persistent behind-the scenes lobbying over public campaigns.

Question: How many misdemeanors were the sky divers convicted of?

Three sky divers who parachuted off the 1 World Trade Center tower were acquitted on Monday of the most serious felony charge against them but convicted of three misdemeanors after a two-week trial in Manhattan. A jury in State Supreme Court found the sky divers — James Brady, Marko Markovich and Andrew Rossig — not guilty of burglary, rejecting the prosecution’s argument that the three had entered the tower intending to commit a crime inside it. The jurors decided, however, that the defendants were each guilty of two counts of reckless endangerment and of breaking a New York City ordinance against parachuting off buildings and bridges. They face up to a year in jail on the top misdemeanor conviction.

Question: Which decades did Earl Hines have a big band during?

LISTENING Right now I’m really into Earl “Fatha” Hines. He was a stride piano player who had a big band in the ’30s and ’40s. You watch clips of him playing and what he’s doing just seems impossible. His left hand is leaping around playing the bass line and what would essentially be the accompanying guitar rhythm while his right hand is playing this really arrhythmic, somewhat modern sounding stuff. Geez, I really wish I could play stride piano — though not enough to actually practice. WATCHING I’m catching up on all the YouTube videos that people sent me over the five years of making “Inside Out.” Lately it’s been Laurel and Hardy shorts and clips of steam engines, like what powered the early railroad. And Warner Bros. “Looney Tunes” never get old. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but “Gorilla My Dreams” and “Hare Tonic” are pretty funny. FOLLOWING Walt_at_Disneyland on Instagram. It’s some guy who has found all these pictures of Walt Disney at Disneyland and he’s posting one a day. I don’t know how long it will be before he runs out.

Question: How long does it take to get to Stepney Green Underground using the circle line?

Because of an editing error, the Frugal Traveler column last Sunday, about a budget-friendly day in London, misstated, in one instance, the name of a theater in the West End. As the column correctly noted elsewhere, it is the St. James, not the St. James’s. The column also referred imprecisely to a route to the Stepney Green Underground station in East London. While it is possible to get to Stepney Green from Victoria station on the Circle line in 23 minutes, it requires a transfer; it is not direct. (The District line takes about the same time and is direct.) MAGAZINE

Question: Did any of the Boko Haram who entered the town to attack Bosso survive?

“We are in control of the situation,” said the army officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. “Anybody who entered the town, nobody came out alive,” the officer said. He would not say whether any troops or any civilians in Bosso had been killed. “People heard gunfire and went home.” Niger’s army has troops based in Bosso, at the edge of the area of recent fighting with Boko Haram. An army detachment is always posted at the river’s shallowest point, which can be easily crossed. Last week, officials in Bosso said they could hear Chadian planes bomb Boko Haram positions across the frontier. Niger’s Parliament is scheduled to vote Monday on whether the country’s troops will join those of Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad to take on the insurgents. Chad’s troops have had notable successes over the past week in confronting Boko Haram along the Cameroon border, retaking at least one Nigerian town. But the extension of the fighting to Niger is a new phase in the war on Boko Haram. Wary of being drawn into the fight, Niger’s government has been careful so far not to provoke the Islamists. Some analysts believe that the Islamists have heavily infiltrated Diffa, a regional capital in the country’s far east.

I don’t care if you had a sleepover party at his house once a week while you watched rom-coms and did each other’s nails. Or if he granted you a 15-second interview after one of his product introductions. The reality is, Steve Jobs was trying to sell things, and he was an absolute master at using the media to do that. Sure, these folks knew a version of Mr. Jobs that he wanted to show, and they knew his products, perhaps better than anyone. But the only people who may have known the true Steve Jobs were his family and a few close friends. And even they had different reactions to the film. His wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, reportedly tried to have the movie killed numerous times and was unusually public about how she disliked the film. And yet his daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, chose to speak to Mr. Sorkin for the film, sharing, as Mr. Sorkin said in an interview, “stories about her father that weren’t necessarily flattering.”

Answer: Laurene Powell Jobs

Question: Why does the person discover the contents?

The book begins at the moment when everything collapses. A box of incriminating correspondence — a deceptively mild-looking thing — arrives at the Shanleys’ home, poised to spray shrapnel everywhere. Sent by Jack’s most recent ex-mistress, it contains dozens of printed pages of filthy emails delineating exactly what the couple wanted to do to each other and how. (Adultery Rule No. 1: Do not use email! What do you think Snapchat is for?) Unfortunately, when it arrives, Kay is the only one home. She opens it, thinking it might be an early birthday present.

Question: How many patients were infected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital?

Duodenoscopes have been implicated in similar outbreaks at other hospitals. In 2013, 39 patients at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill., were infected with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), also the cause of the infections in Los Angeles. In January, officials at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle acknowledged that 32 patients had been infected with CRE by duodenoscopes from November 2012 to early 2014. Eleven patients died, but it is not clear that the infections were the cause, as they had other serious medical problems.

Question: Who is a former stand-up comic?

In Budapest last June, Kent Sublette, a veteran of “Saturday Night Live,” and Katie Dippold, the screenwriter for “The Heat” and now co-writer of the new “Ghostbusters,” watched the action and scribbled jokes on sticky notes, which were handed to Mr. Feig, who also shouted extra one-liners to his cast. In the editing room, these “alts,” as they’re known, are assembled into multiple cuts, which Mr. Feig test-screens religiously. In Hollywood, test screening is done grudgingly, considered a pernicious studio tool and the enemy of the auteur. “It doesn’t work very well if a movie is supposed to make you feel difficult emotions,” Mr. Apatow said. “If you’re making a David Lynch movie, it doesn’t work at all.” But for comedy, he continued, it’s often the best way to refine jokes. Their semi-scientific process involves recording viewers’ laughter across different versions. Mr. Feig, a former stand-up comic, compared it with road-testing an act. “Spy” has had about 10 test screenings, he said, although unlike “Bridesmaids,” it scored well with audiences out of the gate. In a South by Southwest preview, one critic called it “a home run.”

Question: Who played the Prince?

Veronika Part, a Lilac Fairy of long experience, now radiates the mature generosity that this part is all about; on Thursday evening, her performance was the most wonderful thing in the whole ballet. Marcelo Gomes, who as Prince Désiré delivers the taxing intricacies of his solo variation at the peak of an exemplary account of the role, also performs as the evil fairy, Carabosse, with splendidly venomous force. Cory Stearns, whose nobility has become nuanced by humor, reflectiveness and poignancy, takes the character of Désiré through a true journey.

Question: What does Ms. Sandberg say is the reason for doing nothing in minor arguments?

After all, as Ms. Sandberg pointed out in her book, without mentioning Ms. Slaughter, “the very concept … flies in the face of the basic laws of economics and common sense.” Toward the end of “Lean In,” Ms. Sandberg reviewed the social psychology literature around the tendency of women themselves in certain environments to perpetuate gender bias and recommended some ways to avoid falling into this trap. The institutional tendency to use minor disagreements among women as an excuse to do nothing, she argues, requires women to choose their battles carefully. “We should resolve our differences quickly, and when we disagree, stay focused on our shared goals. This is not a plea for less debate, but for more constructive debate,” Ms. Sandberg wrote. Based on Ms. Slaughter’s book, it would seem that persuading other powerful women to respond positively to Ms. Sandberg’s appeal is another piece of unfinished business.

Question: What Mr. Maduro say American diplomats who remained in Venezuela must do?

In an apparent response to the Obama administration’s recent decision to ban certain Venezuelan officials suspected of human rights violations from traveling to the United States, Mr. Maduro unveiled a no-fly list of his own, declaring former President George W. Bush; former Vice President Dick Cheney; and George Tenet, a former director of the C.I.A., personae non gratae. For good measure, Mr. Maduro warned that the American diplomats who remained in Venezuela must clear any meetings, presumably with anyone, with his government. The moves are meant to combat “imperialist aggression,” he told a throng of supporters on Saturday during a rambling, effusive speech.

Question: What was the vote on repealing the estate tax?

An amendment by Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, called for a lifting of the spending limits, paid for by changes to entitlement programs other than Social Security, a re-examination of other programs and the ending of some tax loopholes. It passed, 50 to 48. Senate Republicans did set some policy stakes in the ground, some of them surprising. The Senate voted, 54 to 46, to fully repeal the estate tax, even though next year, the value of estates subject to it will have to exceed $5.43 million, or nearly $11 million for a couple. Only about 3,700 estates, or 0.12 percent of the total, were expected to owe any federal estate tax last year.

Question: What did not live up to it's promise?

Jason Hill, who studies bioenergy at the University of Minnesota, was not involved in the World Resources Institute report, but reviewed it at the request of The Times. He endorsed some of its conclusions, particularly the idea that turning food crops into fuel makes little sense. “It’s true that our first-generation biofuels have not lived up to their promise,” Dr. Hill said. “We’ve found they do not offer the environmental benefits they were purported to have, and they have a substantial negative impact on the food system.” However, Dr. Hill was more bullish than Mr. Searchinger on the potential for newer types of biofuels made from crops planted specifically for that purpose. Their potential environmental and economic benefits are not yet clear, and governments would be acting prematurely if they were to abandon research on them, Dr. Hill said, though he also doubted that they could ever supply any large fraction of global fuel demand.

Question: What do officials agree on about the subsidies?

The problem, officials have concluded, is that the subsidies were much too small. In 2011, HUD started the Dallas experiment as a part of a settlement with housing activists. It has since added five smaller regions to the program. In Dallas, the maximum subsidy for a three-bedroom apartment is now just $850 in the cheapest ZIP codes, but as much as $1,840 in the most expensive ZIP codes. In 33 of the 50 largest metropolitan areas, the subsidy for the wealthiest ZIP code would be more than twice as high as the subsidy in the poorest ZIP code. In New York, San Diego and Washington, it would be more than three times as high.

Question: What was to be awarded to Fells after the game?

Coughlin said: “We dedicated the game to him. We showed him the game ball that will be awarded to him. Everyone was able to cheer him on and try to make him feel better. He said he watched the game, and he was very proud of how we finished.” EXTRA POINTS Wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Rueben Randle have hamstring injuries that could jeopardize their readiness for the Giants’ next game, at Philadelphia on Oct. 19.

Question: What player has concerns about his health?

The only must-see club match this weekend — other than Cambuur’s visit to mighty Ajax on Saturday, of course — is the season’s first Clásico: Barcelona at Real Madrid on Saturday (12:15 p.m., beIN). And the only story to pay attention to related to that is Lionel Messi’s health; Messi has been out for months with a knee injury, but he trained with Barcelona’s B team over the weekend — reportedly looking sharp — and may make his return in Madrid. That would surely spice up things a bit.

Question: What was Mr. Rodman able to do after the legal proceedings?

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.

Answer: eventually settled his bill with his former lawyer, Gwendolyn Jo M. Carlberg.

Question: Who is Mara talking about?

“I don’t think we’re going to do anything until we actually see where he’s at,” Mara said. “He’s a rare athlete who has played at a very high level before. He is a great kid, and we’ve loved having him around here. He fits in well. “I can only surmise that he’s not receiving very good advice.” The team could also negotiate a compromise contract for an amount based on how many games Pierre-Paul might play this season.

Answer: Pierre-Paul

“I don’t think we’re going to do anything until we actually see where he’s at,” Mara said. “He’s a rare athlete who has played at a very high level before. He is a great kid, and we’ve loved having him around here. He fits in well. “I can only surmise that he’s not receiving very good advice.” <hl> The team could also negotiate a compromise contract for an amount based on how many games Pierre-Paul might play this season. <hl>

Question: What travel website was mentioned that is also a name for a boat?

If you’re lucky, you’re reading this somewhere other than Manhattan. For all that it’s been celebrated in song, summer in the city is often a miserable affair. (The lyrics of that Lovin’ Spoonful hit are worth a second listen.) Best to get away, and any app that can help you do that as quickly as Wanderu is worth the space it takes up on your home screen. Not unlike travel websites like Kayak, Wanderu is a service for finding buses and trains to get you from here to there. It was launched two years ago in the Northeast, then gradually expanded its range before releasing iPhone and Android apps earlier this year. The service is now available in most of the United States.

Question: Who started off the 9th inning by hitting a single?

“It’s different,” Harvey said of the extra rest. He added: “Dealing with it is something you have to do. I don’t think I did a very good job of that. I think we’re all excited to go back to a five-day rotation. It is what it is.” The Mets’ offense did not help Harvey much; Hamels held them to one run and four hits in seven innings. But Harvey did not help himself. He came to bat in the fourth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, and he struck out swinging. In the third, with Dilson Herrera on second and nobody out, Harvey struck out trying to lay down a sacrifice bunt. Over the final five innings, the Mets managed to reach base only twice. In the ninth, Daniel Murphy, another Rangers fan, led off with a single. The Mets did not show any more fight. Jonathan Papelbon, the Phillies’ closer, retired the next three batters in order, striking out Lucas Duda and Kevin Plawecki, and getting Herrera to fly out easily to end the game.

Question: Who did he attempt to learn from while playing with the Dominican team?

“I always want to be working on the tricks in my bag,” Towns said. “I just wait to develop the trick fully and make sure it’s the best trick I can possibly use.” In other words, his 3-point shot is one such trick. He promised more to come. Towns has always been on an advanced curriculum. At 16, he joined the Dominican Republic’s national team for a summer of exhibitions. Towns said he tried to learn as much as possible from teammates like Al Horford — lessons about the importance of repetition, about the complexities of defending the pick-and-roll. “It put me light-years ahead in terms of my knowledge for the game,” Towns said. “Not so much physically — physically, I couldn’t do anything at that age.”

Question: Mr. Cuomo wants to increase the number of charter schools in the state. How do teacher's unions feel about this position?

ALBANY —  In an emerging sign of possible budget-battle lines, Democrats in the New York Assembly rejected proposals on Monday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo linking an increase in statewide school aid to an array of his proposed changes. They also sided with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bid for longer-term mayoral control of New York City’s schools. The Democrats’ stance, articulated in several proposals released by Speaker Carl E. Heastie of the Bronx, keeps a tight focus in Albany on the issue of education, which Mr. Cuomo has promised to make a focus of his nascent second term. In January, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, introduced a series of education proposals, including making a teacher evaluation system rely more heavily on state tests, raising the number of charter schools in the state and allowing failing schools to be taken over by outside groups. That position was criticized by teachers’ unions but praised by supporters of the charter school movement. Mr. Cuomo’s education plan also includes a financial carrot: an increase of $1.1 billion in state aid if his proposals become law. But on Monday, Mr. Heastie suggested that such an approach would not pass muster in the Assembly, which Democrats control.

Question: What does the company test?

LONDON — What’s being billed as the future of skin care starts suspiciously like a visit to the dentist: with a mouthwash gargle. That’s to eliminate debris that may interfere with a good saliva sample, from which DNA will be extracted and serums tailored to one’s genetic blueprint. The test is from a company called GeneU (pronounced “gene you”) and performed at its nine-month-old shop on New Bond Street, which looks like a cross between a science fiction movie set and a silver-gray-and-red-dipped Apple store — perhaps fittingly, because the DNA test is done by a flash-drive-size microchip. It’s administered by one of a handful of improbably dewy-skinned beauties who also happen to have Ph.D.s. Unlike other DNA tests, which are sent to labs and take at least two weeks to complete, GeneU’s in-store test is done in 30 minutes. Currently, it looks only at variations in two genes: one that contains instructions for how fast your body degrades collagen and the other for antioxidant protection.

Question: What was the actual rate of inflation in November?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.

Question: How many hospitals received victims?

No deaths were reported, but as of Sunday evening, 498 people had been sent to 43 area hospitals, with 202 sustaining serious injuries, according to the website of the Public Health Department of New Taipei City, where the incident took place, outside of Taipei. The injured, many suffering from serious burns and smoke inhalation, were overwhelmingly young, in their 20s or younger, with one 18-year-old woman receiving burns on 90 percent of her body, according to the official Central News Agency.

Question: Who sent a memo to clients about lessons from the DuPont conflict?

Such a report may suggest that I.S.S. is biased in favor of the activist hedge funds, but this statistic may not be truly surprising because hedge funds tend to pick struggling targets. And every contest is unique. What is unusual about the recommendation is something I.S.S. acknowledged in its report: that DuPont is “not a broken company.” The significance of the I.S.S. decision was perhaps best put by Martin Lipton of the law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz. In a memo to clients on the lessons in the DuPont fight, Mr. Lipton stated that I.S.S. and major shareholders would “be responsive to and support well-presented attacks on business strategy and operations” even if the company was run by “an outstanding C.E.O. and board of directors.”

Question: What is the name of the expanding company?

NEW YORK Because of an editing error, a picture caption on Saturday with an article about tensions at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum over the direction of its expansion misstated the cost of an annex to the museum in the Dumbo neighborhood.

BUSINESS DAY The  State of the Art column on Tuesday, about the coming Apple Watch, misstated the price of one model in some copies.

Question: Who is Michelin chef?

“Burnt” has other flaws, like not giving Ms. Miller enough to do, but its main one is simply that at this point it’s hard to care about people who mistake a third Michelin star for the most important thing in life. “Burnt” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian), because when things heat up in the kitchen, curse words fly. Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes.

Question: What type of screening can prevent a heart attack?

Here’s why: For the individual patient whose heart attack is prevented by a cholesterol screening, to give one example, that blood test is a cost-saver. But to prevent one heart attack, the health care system has to test hundreds of healthy people — and give about a hundred of them cholesterol-lowering drugs for at least five years. Added together, those prevention measures cost more than is saved on the one heart attack treatment. (My colleagues Aaron E. Carroll and Austin Frakt have written a helpful article on this concept, known in medicine as the “number needed to treat.”)
