Question: What music duo is Jermaine Clement part of?

The fleeting pleasures of “People Places Things,” Jim Strouse’s winsome trifle of a comedy, derive almost entirely from the charm of its star, Jemaine Clement, the New Zealand-born actor best known in America as one-half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords. Mr. Clement plays Will, a married 40-year-old graphic novelist and teacher of comic book art whose college classes are perceptive, witty mini-essays on drawing and narrative (illustrated by Mr. Strouse, a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan). The story begins at a fifth birthday party for Will’s twin daughters (Gia and Aundrea Gadsby) in his family’s Brooklyn brownstone. In the middle of the celebration, Will goes upstairs and finds his wife, Charlie (Stephanie Allynne), having sex with their friend Gary (an ill-used Michael Chernus), an Off Broadway performance artist.

Question: Whose reputation is it alleged that Dan Rather set out to tarnish?

The title of “Truth,” a gripping, beautifully executed journalistic thriller about the events that ended Dan Rather’s career as a CBS anchorman, should probably be appended with a question mark. More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well written and acted that it conveys a convincing illusion of veracity. Just as there are conspiracy theorists who will never be satisfied with the Warren Commission report on the Kennedy assassination, there are some who passionately believe that Mr. Rather and his producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) conspired to tarnish George W. Bush’s reputation.

Question: Which region did officials target for a temporary ban for ride hailing services?

The case, which made headlines in December, incited local officials to temporarily ban the ride-hailing service in the Delhi region after details emerged that the driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, had previously been detained on suspicion of raping another female passenger in 2011. While officials said that case was ultimately closed and Mr. Yadav was acquitted, the fallout around the episode raised questions about Uber’s security screening process for drivers. An Uber spokeswoman declined to comment on the withdrawal of the case. Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer representing the plaintiff, who filed as Jane Doe, also declined to comment.

Question: Who studies the financial factors of preventive care?

There’s also the unavoidable fact that every time you prevent people from dying from one disease, they are likely to live longer and incur future medical expenses. The patient who benefits from the cholesterol screening may go on to develop cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s or some other costly illness. There are some prevention measures that actually do seem to save money. Counseling on contraception is one because the costs of prenatal care, delivery and pediatric care associated with an unplanned pregnancy are so substantial. But a lot of the preventive health measures that we tend to value a lot — mammography, screening for diabetes — tend to cost more than they save. Researchers like Mr. Cohen, who study these trade-offs, say we need to think more broadly about the value of what our preventive spending buys, not the narrow question of whether it saves money.

Question: What are young people attracted to?

ESA-PEKKA SALONEN, conductor and composer: Young people are attracted to black-and-white statements. At least I was. And Boulez was like a black-and-white statement machine. He said, “This is wrong, and this is right.” The statements Boulez made were kind of refreshingly categorical. Like the famous one from the ’50s: “If a composer has not experienced the necessity of dodecaphonic technique, he is useless.” That’s a good sentence because it tells you what is what. It takes the guessing out of the equation.

Question: How long were the Polish forces able to hold out during the conflict?

The peninsula, a sickle of land jutting into the Baltic Sea, was the site of the first fighting between Polish and German forces on Sept. 1, 1939, widely regarded as the start of World War II. Just before 5 a.m. that day, the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein, which had anchored off the coast of what was then known as the free city of Danzig, opened fire on the Polish military transit depot on the peninsula. The depot’s 182 soldiers and 27 reservists managed to hold out for seven days in what is known as the Battle of Westerplatte and have been celebrated ever since as an example of Polish resistance.

Question: Do non-profits have to disclose their donors?

The public-relations push extends to the very private brothers themselves. In December, David Koch, who lives in New York, sat for an interview with Barbara Walters of ABC and described his liberal beliefs on gay rights and social issues. In April, Charles Koch, who for many years granted only the occasional interview to his hometown newspaper, The Wichita Eagle, answered questions from USA Today. In recent months, Freedom Partners, the nonprofit that oversees the Kochs’ political donor network, has also persuaded some of its donors to put their names to op-ed articles in national and local newspapers, helping shift attention away from the two brothers. Because nonprofits do not disclose their donors, it is impossible to know how much of the Koch network’s spending is underwitten by the Kochs themselves. But several hundred like-minded donors are members of Freedom Partners and more than two dozen donors have signed the op-ed articles, which take up familiar Koch causes like abolishing the Export-Import Bank or cutting the size of the federal government. “Charles Koch’s amazing. He gets death threats all the time, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there,” said Chris Rufer, a self-described libertarian and the founder of Morning Star, the world’s largest tomato processor. “They called and said, ‘Would you sign on to this?’ ”

Question: Where was Annu Matthew born?

★ ‘Swedish Wooden Toys’ (through Feb. 28) This presentation of more than 300 playthings from the late 16th to the early 21st centuries will be catnip for anyone into antique toys. The show features diminutive vehicles of all kinds from old-time wagons, trains and fully-rigged sailboats, to futuristic cars and a rocket ship. There are naturalistic and anthropomorphic animals, weapons, puzzles, games, dollhouses and architectural construction kits. While many of these items were produced by big manufacturers like BRIO and Playsam, many others are one-of-a-kind wonders like a miniature baking set from around 1900 that includes rolling pins, spatulas and other implements all lovingly carved from wood and fitting into a tray just eight inches long. Bard Graduate Center Gallery, 18 West 86th Street, Manhattan, 212-501-3011, bgc.bard.edu. (Johnson) ★ Gil Batle: ‘Hatched in Prison’ (through Jan. 9) Mr. Batle, 53, served a total of 20 years in five California prisons for fraud and forgery. Now living in the Philippines, he has been recounting his experiences in an unlikely medium. Using a high-speed dental drill, he carves miniature narratives of prison life into the surfaces of ostrich eggs. The 19 examples in this show, all made in the past two years, are amazing for their meticulous craftsmanship and detailed story telling. Ricco Maresca, 529 West 20th Street, Chelsea, 212-627-4819, riccomaresca.com. (Johnson) ★ Annu Palakunnathu Matthew: ‘Indelible Memories’ (through Jan. 16) Ms. Matthew was born in England to Indian parents, spent her adolescence and early adulthood in India, and has lived in the United States since. The mostly album-size photographs in this compact but far-ranging gallery survey are about the intensities and confusions of a cultural mixing that makes the artist, psychologically, both a global citizen and an outsider, at home and in transit, wherever she is. And it’s about photography as document and fiction: souvenir, re-enactment and imaginative projection. (Closed Dec. 24 through Jan. 4.) A beautiful show that could too easily slip away. sepiaEYE, 547 West 27th Street, Chelsea, 212-967-0738, sepiaeye.com. (Cotter) ★ Robert Ryman (through June 18) For nearly 60s years, the Minimalist painter Robert Ryman has had few equals when it comes to doing more with less. White has been his primary, if not quite his only, color, the square his typical format. And yet within these seeming limitations a remarkably fecund and resonant body of work has evolved as demonstrated with unusual clarity (and in natural light) by this small but comprehensive exhibition. Dia: Chelsea, 535 West 22nd Street, 212-989-5566, diaart.org. (Smith) ★ Giorgio Morandi (through June 25) The Italian master of modern still life, and closet abstractionist, is celebrated in a large show devoted foremost to his painting from the 1930s, which are not well known in this country. They reveal a period of struggle during which the artist had settled on what to paint, how to paint was still very much up for grabs. Joel Meyerowitz’s large color photographs of Morandi’s still life objects – which he sometimes altered – are also on view. Reservations are required. Center for Italian Modern Art, 421 Broome Street, near Crosby Street, SoHo, 646-370-3596, italianmodernart.org. (Smith)

★ ‘Swedish Wooden Toys’ (through Feb. 28) This presentation of more than 300 playthings from the late 16th to the early 21st centuries will be catnip for anyone into antique toys. The show features diminutive vehicles of all kinds from old-time wagons, trains and fully-rigged sailboats, to futuristic cars and a rocket ship. There are naturalistic and anthropomorphic animals, weapons, puzzles, games, dollhouses and architectural construction kits. While many of these items were produced by big manufacturers like BRIO and Playsam, many others are one-of-a-kind wonders like a miniature baking set from around 1900 that includes rolling pins, spatulas and other implements all lovingly carved from wood and fitting into a tray just eight inches long.

(Johnson) ★ Gil Batle: ‘Hatched in Prison’ (through Jan. 9) Mr. Batle, 53, served a total of 20 years in five California prisons for fraud and forgery. Now living in the Philippines, he has been recounting his experiences in an unlikely medium. Using a high-speed dental drill, he carves miniature narratives of prison life into the surfaces of ostrich eggs.

Question: How many factors does the search chief oversee?

Amit Singhal, Google’s search chief, oversees the 200 or so factors that determine where websites rank in the company’s search engine, which means he decides if your website lives or dies. His current challenge: figuring out how to spread that same fear and influence to mobile phones. In a recent interview at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., Mr. Singhal laid out a widely held thesis for why smartphones are fundamentally changing how people are consuming information: Phones have small screens that are annoying to type on, and people have grown so addicted to their phones that they carry them everywhere and go to bed with them by their side. Also, in a shift with big implications for his company’s sway over the Internet, smartphone users spend the bulk of their time in mobile apps instead of the open web on which Google built its business.

Question: What are the two authors that wrote the stage version of the classic Pinocchio?

‘Pinocchio’ (Friday through Sunday) In this stage version of Carlo Collodi’s classic tale, the title character doesn’t just want to be a boy; he also wants to be a star. Presented at the New Victory Theater by the acclaimed Windmill Theater of Australia, this two-hour rock musical, with a score by Jethro Woodward, portrays Pinocchio as a youth — his nose grows before the audience’s eyes — who’s easily seduced by contemporary glamour. Written by Rosemary Myers and Julianne O’Brien, the show includes puppetry and animated projections. (Through March 22.)

Question: Who is Wood's caddie?

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Watching Tiger Woods launch wildly errant drives was hard. Watching his ground-ball chip shots was harder. But the hardest part of watching Woods’s career-worst round Friday at the Phoenix Open was seeing the greatest golfer of his generation turn into the lovable last-place straggler. Fans at T.P.C. Scottsdale, renowned for their crassness, were overcome with compassion as Woods, who was No. 1 in the world at this time last year, struggled to an 11-over-par 82 and a 36-hole total of 13-over 155. It was only the second time in 303 PGA Tour starts as a professional that Woods had failed to break 80 (the other time was in the third round of the 2002 British Open, played in hellacious conditions). For Woods, who has been breaking 80 since age 8, the score was full of foreboding. He might as well have had the Grim Reaper on his bag instead of his trusty caddie, Joe LaCava.

Question: What year was Bradford's journal rediscovered?

The program details the awful first winter, the crucial alliance with the Indian leader Massasoit, and the colony’s eventual arrival at stability. In classic documentary style, writings from the time are read to accompany the narrative, most of them from the journal of William Bradford, who became the colony’s governor. The actor Roger Rees renders Bradford beautifully; it was among his last performances before his death in July. Mr. Burns’s most inspired touch is to end not in the 1600s, but two centuries later, by following what happened to Bradford’s journal. It disappeared during the Revolutionary War, then was rediscovered in the mid-1800s, just when a divided United States was in need of some feel-good, unifying core stories. The Mayflower passengers suffered terrible hardships, and from the Indians’ point of view their arrival was ultimately a dark day. But not on Thanksgiving.

Question: Which senator is mentioned to be against a ban on assault weapons?

It’s always the same story. The San Bernardino murderers were wielding assault rifles, with which they were able to fire an estimated 65-75 bullets in rapid succession. Assault weapons, which seem to be the armament of choice for mass shootings, used to be illegal under a law that expired in 2004. If the law had stayed on the books, how many victims would have survived in San Bernardino, or at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.? Given the fact that semiautomatic weapons are totally inappropriate for either hunting or home defense, some of us would love to trade them for the possibility of reduced casualties next time somebody decides to go on a rampage. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is an excellent example of the politicians who totally disagree. Last time an assault weapons ban came up, he argued that Americans should not be forced to rely on regular slowpoke rifles “in an environment where the law and order has broken down, whether it’s a hurricane, national disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, cyberattack where the power goes down and the dam’s broken and chemicals have been released into the air and law enforcement is really not able to respond and people take advantage of that lawless environment.”

Question: How many photographers are featured in the Photo Poetics show?

Guggenheim Museum: ‘Alberto Burri: The Trauma of Painting’ (through Jan. 6) This Italian artist’s prescient paintings from the 1950s and early ‘60s — in patched, burned and otherwise abused burlap, plastic or wood — form a lavish, beautiful and admirable, if sometimes monotonous retrospective at the Guggenheim. Unfortunately, he may also inaugurate a bane of current art: the use of found materials so inherently affecting — burlap is one — that they require little of the artist. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org. (Smith) Guggenheim Museum: ‘Photo-Poetics: An Anthology’ (through March 23) Formally complex and expressively reserved, even hermetic. the work by ten photographers in this stimulating show has roots in Conceptualism and takes language, history and speculative thinking as its raw materials. Photographs are structured with the equivalent of poetry’s metrical cadences and internal rhymes, and treated less as generators of translatable ideas than of suggestive metaphors. 1071 Fifth Avenue, at 89th Street, 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org. (Cotter) ★ Jewish Museum: ‘The Power of Pictures: Early Soviet Photography, Early Soviet Film’ (through Feb. 7) Revolutions sell utopias; that’s their job. Art, if it behaves itself and sticks to the right script, can be an important part of the promotional package. That’s the basic tale told by this exhibition of photographs and vintage films of the 1920s and ’30s, but with a question added: What happens to art when the script is drastically revised? Russia was an experiment in progress in the heady years following the 1917 revolution, and avant-garde art, free-spirited by definition, was officially embraced. When Joseph Stalin came to power art became government-dictated propaganda and its makers, often under threat, towed the line. Remarkably, the show presents a dozen films — some familiar, some not — full-length, on a rotating schedule of four a day, in a small viewing theater built into one of the Jewish Museum’s galleries. 1109 Fifth Avenue, at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org. (Cotter) ★ Jewish Museum: ‘Unorthodox’ (through March 27) With about 200 putatively unorthodox works crowded into tightly walled-in spaces, this lively show has the feel of an Outsider Art fair — in a good way. The paintings, drawings, collages, assemblages, ceramics, weavings and videos are variously funny, funky, quirky, eccentric, idiosyncratic and visionary. Are they truly unorthodox by the standards of a contemporary art world wherein no one wants to be thought orthodox? No, but that’s O.K. It’s an entertaining and intermittently exhilarating exhibition nonetheless. 1109 Fifth Avenue, at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, thejewishmuseum.org. (Johnson)

Question: Who was winning before Querrey was injured?

■ Sam Querrey, a semifinalist last week in Memphis, injured his back midmatch and retired from the Delray Beach Open in Florida while leading Alejandro Gonzalez, 6-3, 1-2. “It was just one sudden movement, and I jerked my back,” said Querrey, who will have an M.R.I. exam before deciding whether he can represent the United States in the first round of the Davis Cup against Britain in Glasgow from March 6 to 8. He added: “I’ve had this before, and it’s gotten better in a week. I’m just bummed because I played so well last week.” (AP)

Question: What religious denomination does Mr. Carson follow?

Bob Vander Plaats, the president and chief executive of the Family Leader, a social conservative group in Iowa, said his members had not yet expressed concern about Mr. Carson’s religion. He cited the support that Mr. Romney received from evangelicals in 2012, saying he did not think the fact that Mr. Carson is a Seventh-day Adventist would be an issue unless theology became central to the political debate. “I think Trump threw out the fleece to let people check it out,” Mr. Vander Plaats said of why he thought Mr. Carson’s religion suddenly became an issue. “People of faith will be more interested in the fruit of leadership, policy and does it align with honoring God or dishonoring God.”

Question: Who did she inherit it from?

A friend of mine inherited a Bavarian coffee set from her maternal great-grandmother, a woman who fled Europe in the late 1930s, carrying little more than the purpose-built, velvet-lined case that still holds it. That family is scattered across the globe and the way of life the coffee set embodied has vanished, but the dainty china pot and matching cups remain flawless. Porcelain is like that. We all know that the sweep of a careless elbow can shatter it into unmendable bits. But take some basic precautions and in a hundred years it will look as good as new — its colors undimmed, its whites snowy — after you and your children are dead and gone. It is fragile, and it is strong.

Question: In what year did the multiple organizations come together to form a mediation group?

Question: How much was the seasonally adjusted rate?

That put the seasonally adjusted annual rate at an estimated $1.08 trillion, the highest level since May 2008. The report also revised the June increase in construction spending to 0.7 percent, from 0.1 percent previously. Groundbreakings for houses, apartment complexes and commercial centers have helped improve overall economic growth. The government said last week that the economy expanded at an annual rate of 3.7 percent in the April-to-June quarter, after edging up just 0.6 percent in the first quarter. “We expect housing activity will continue to strengthen, underpinning greater residential investment in the coming quarters,” said Gregory Daco, head of United States macroeconomics at the forecasting firm Oxford Economics. After the construction spending report, analysts at Barclays projected that the economy was on track to grow 2.6 percent in the third quarter and that the second-quarter growth rate would be revised up to 3.8 percent.

Question: When did Ms. Simpson first start wearing drag attires?

Born in Gaylord, Minn., to a minister father and housewife mother, Ms. Simpson studied advertising and communications in New York, when she wasn’t partying at places like Danceteria, Area and other clubs of the moment. Inspired by the East Village scene, she started dolling up in 1987, aiming for a “flirty career girl” look, and soon became one of the scene’s reigning drag personalities. She started a feisty drag zine called My Comrade, which covered go-go boys, celebs and queer politics, and hosted a weekly drag party called Channel 69 at the Pyramid Club on Avenue A. Her stature grew when she performed at the outdoor drag festival Wigstock. “I didn’t think of Linda as being a separate person from myself,” said Ms. Simpson, who makes a living from event hosting and performing. “I already had a love of sarcasm, so it was transferred to the stage,” she added. “After being shamed for being feminine most of my life, it was liberating to wear a dress and be applauded for that.” For a pop cultural moment in the mid-1990s, drag flourished. RuPaul had a hit record, and the drag road movie “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” was a box office hit.

Question: What did researchers use to cushion the ping pong ball hat on the trunk crown lizards?

Then the researchers created caps with pieces of Ping-Pong ball, and attached them with surgical glue and cork as a cushion, to the heads of the anoles to interfere with polarized light that might reach an organ in the brain called the parietal eye. Some research has shown that lizards can detect polarized light with that organ, not with their regular eyes. The team didn’t just block all light to the parietal eye, because it controls the daily rhythms of the lizard. Block it completely, Dr. Leal said, and “after a day they just stop moving.” They are normally quiet at night. If it is always night for them, they stay quiet. And how did the lizards do with the Ping-Pong ball hats? They came back. Same percentage. Same time period.

Question: What team currently has Ethan Werek under contract to play for them?

Lindberg already has. The Rangers obtained him from Arizona in an all-but-overlooked May 2011 trade for center Ethan Werek, their second-round draft choice two years earlier. Werek played three seasons in the American Hockey League and is now under contract to play for the Florida Everblades of the ECHL. Lindberg played two more seasons for Skelleftea AIK in the Swedish Hockey League and then joined the Rangers’ Hartford farm club in 2013, scoring 46 goals in 150 regular-season games but never quite reaching his potential.

Question: Who is Don Cameron?

For Don Cameron, a farmer south of Fresno, a wet winter 33 years ago led to an idea about how to take advantage of the vast natural water storage system underground. He noticed that some grapevines along the San Joaquin River were flooded for months in the winter, but that those same vines produced a lush crop of grapes in the summer. He had to wait until 2011, the last wet year before the current drought, to act on his idea. With a small government grant and help from scientists and an environmental group, Mr. Cameron diverted water to a thousand acres of the farm he manages, Terranova Ranch, deliberately flooding fields of grapes, pistachio trees and hay.

Question: Who wrote the book "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush"?

That hardball, in-the-trenches style of politics, said friends, aides and scholars of the three men, goes against the ethos of the blue-blooded dynasty with roots in New England, where manners and decorum were ingrained not just at the dinner table but in the halls and playing fields of Andover. “Even the most visceral of the Bushes, George W. Bush, has been averse to that kind of pugnation,” said Robert Draper, the author of “Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush.” “The charitable view of it is manners — it’s better not to flash anger and swing elbows. The less charitable view is it derives from a kind of superiority that Bushes don’t fight in alleys.”

Question: Who can help defeat Boko Haram?

That is why the answer to defeating Boko Haram begins and ends with Nigeria. That is not to say that allies cannot help us.

We must, of course, have better coordination with the military campaigns our African allies, like Chad and Niger, are waging in the struggle against Boko Haram. But, in the end, the answer to this threat must come from within Nigeria.
