Question: How were LL Cool J's shirts designed and produced?

Those jackets indicate membership on a greater team, but lack some of the ephemeral grace of the T-shirts. Keith Haring’s artwork appears on the T-shirt for the first New York City Fresh Festival, a multi-artist concert, in 1984. Several iterations of shirts from a single LL Cool J tour are displayed: The designer, Cey Adams, talks about how he would work on the fly, creating new shirts in different cities as the old ones sold out. The politics of the day often made their way to these shirts. One for Queen Latifah screamed, “Who U Callin a Bitch???” The free-speech and free-love warriors 2 Live Crew used pointed political and sexual slogans. There are ugly relics as well, like the Beastie Boys T-shirt from 1986 with a gay slur on the back, which, all apologies aside, can’t be erased from history. T-shirts were also sites of reaction, as seen in the countless pulpy memorial shirts for the Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. These are done in what has become the definitive bootleg style: cut-and-paste graphics with text in loud, slightly corroded fonts, generally on a black T-shirt. That style is inescapable in this book’s second half, whether it’s done for New York street stalwarts like Mobb Deep or Southern titans like Master P. By the mid-1990s, the dominant design aesthetic no longer came from record-label graphic designers; it was this much more democratic clip-art style.

Question: Where was the trial located ?

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: What is Monday's shift in Deutsche Bank shares in Frankfurt trading?

Deutsche Bank will sell its Postbank network of branches in Germany by listing the unit on the stock market next year. But it will continue to operate a network of branches with the Deutsche Bank brand in Germany and some other countries, albeit in streamlined form. “If anything you would have to say this is a muddling through,” said Mr. Smith, who has  written about Deutsche Bank’s strategy. Deutsche Bank remains enormously complex and difficult to manage, he said. “It’s a big bull of a bank,” Mr. Smith said. Mr. Smith pointed out that the name of the reorganization plan, Strategy 2020, means that even if Deutsche Bank meets all its goals, it will still have been 12 years since the beginning of the financial crisis “before they get to some kind of equilibrium.” Investors clearly shared Mr. Smith’s pessimism. Deutsche Bank shares sank 4.6 percent on Monday in Frankfurt trading.

Question: what do the videographer projections point to

The contemporary relevance of “Poliuto” is potentially strong, whether to the centenary of the Armenian genocide or to events in the Middle East. Ms. Clément updates the action, mostly to the interwar period. The costumes nod to dictatorships, maybe Nazi or Italian, less likely the Communism of Armenia. Muddled projections by the videographers fettFilm point obliquely and fleetingly to the 1990s siege of Sarajevo, and to an international criminal court. Towering stone pillars change position in Julia Hansen’s sets, suggesting the protean power of tyranny and the danger of lives lived in the shadows, but they transform awkwardly.

Question: How many years would about one hundred people need to be given cholesterol lowering drugs for the prevention of one 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.”)

Question: The Nun's Story takes place around the time of what war?

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.”

Question: Sometimes Marcelo does a double, what does that mean to him?

The #nightshift hashtag is especially well populated by the armed professions and the healing ones. Sometimes they are almost one and the same, as in the case of @armedmedic3153, a.k.a. Marcelo Aguirre, a paramedic in Newark and suburban New Jersey. He owns an AR-15, a 9-millimeter and a shotgun, but the only thing he shoots on the night shift is his camera. He works nights so he can study days; he wants to be a doctor. Nights are good preparation for that: You get more serious cases. You learn on the job. A 12-hour course each night you’re on. Twenty-four hours if you take a double. After a while, the adrenaline that juices you when you’re new — when you’re still keeping a tally of the lives you’ve saved — disappears. You just do the job. “High speed and low drag,” Aguirre told me when I called. “Please ignore the siren,” he said. “We’re going to a call.” A stroke. Nothing to get excited about. Coffee sustains him. He stays clean. Some guys, he said, use Provigil, but that’s prescribed. “For shift-work disorder,” he said.

Answer: Twenty-four hours

Question: What two styles made the Rap Battle between Freda and Hakeem so different?

Jamal and Cookie continue meeting furtively in studios at night, the two building a saccharine sound that is less progressive or scene-changing than their wildly satisfied grins let on. But the clandestine collaboration is endearing, if mostly because mother and son are bonding again despite the constant surveillance of Lucious and Thirsty. (If Cookie’s bedridden romp last week with The Man with the Longhorn Tattoo inspired fear that Delgado might destroy her too, her defense of her son against Delgado’s aggression provided a needed assurance). Loyalty lines across Cookie’s scrappy startup and Lucious’s rickety Wall Street behemoth have been eroding for quite some time, and Jamal’s nomination to be the next face of Pepsi surfaces as the fault-line. Jamal baits Cookie and Lucious into coming to a studio session, hoping that the two might meld their angelic flutes and brutish percussion into one electronic monster. Their petulance prevails, however, but it’s more a bruise to Jamal the son than a setback to the Jamal the Musician. Jamal ends up cutting and pasting the two songs together himself and winning the Pepsi competition. The rap battle between Freda and Hakeem was unambiguously presented as the episode’s cathartic zenith, and according to the performance logic undergirding the differences in street and studio rap, it was laughably obvious Freda would bring the carnage. Prep scenes showed Hakeem satisfactorily riffing on word associations, Freda annihilating her opponent with daggered lyrical quips. To me, and likely every viewer marginally familiar with commonly agreed-upon rules of battle rap engagement, Freda was obviously the winner. She zeroed in on Hakeem as her target, deftly weaving sophisticated lyrical attacks athletically and flamboyantly. And although it was meant to cut her opponent down, Freda’s expression of admiration for Cookie’s hustle makes me wonder what a Gatz/Dynasty track would sound like.

Best Thing That Could Come of This ShowFox has yet to decide whether “Scream Queens” will be renewed — the social media following has been great, but the ratings have been soft. Throw your own opinion in the comment section, but I’ve seen enough; what was occasionally cute and witty once would be hard-pressed to be either a second time. I do, however, want to see a spinoff show, “The Radwells Plus Eight.” In the second hour Tuesday we saw the overprivileged Chad and the daffy Denise, who had become lovers, decide to break up. These two were the best thing about this show; give them eight kids and put them in a sitcom.

Answer: Tuesday

Question: What is the best way to describe the language used by Tempest?

Writing in language that is, at once, musical and street tough, cadenced and conversational, Ms. Tempest creates portraits that feel both immediate and finely etched. There’s Kevin, “steady and plain,” and his restless wife, Jane, who’s “ready for change,” and Brian, unhappily married to Mary, with an angry son named Clive. Brian has an affair with Jane, who gives birth to his child Thomas — who, as family dramas so often play out in myths — will have a fateful encounter with Clive. Tommy, gifted and hungry, falls in love with Gloria — “the kind of girl whose scars run deep” — but even as he starts to achieve his dream of becoming an artist, he risks losing everything he’s dreamed of out of carelessness and self-absorption.

Question: Who wrote a friend-of-the-court brief to the Supreme Court?

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: What sort of goods does the company Bombadier make?

While a $1.5 billion cash infusion from Quebec’s public pension management fund last week stabilized the financial situation at Bombardier, the Canadian plane and train maker will still have much to explain at an investor day in New York on Tuesday. The new cash came on top of $1 billion from the Quebec government and both were made necessary by the company’s struggling plan to move up from business and regional jets to compete directly with Boeing and Airbus in the airliner market. Among other things, investors will be looking for signs that Bombardier can find a substantial number of buyers for its overdue and overcost C Series jets. —Ian Austen

Question: Who died of a gunshot wound in 1995?

After lunch, Mr. Shoemaker walked with me down the sidewalk to the No Name. I asked if he would join me inside for a drink, but he declined. He doesn’t drink any more, he said. Too many writer friends died “of alcoholism, or the depression behind it,” he said. He mentioned Calvin Kentfield, who drank at No Name and in 1975 fell — or jumped — off a cliff in nearby Bolinas; Richard Brautigan, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1984; and Don Carpenter, another No Name drinker, also dead by gunshot, in 1995. So I went in by myself, ordered a Maker’s Mark, and chatted with the bartender, a retired boat skipper who had never heard of Evan Connell. I took some notes, listened to Simply Red on the piped-in radio, and bought a No Name T-shirt.

Question: What is Madonna working on?

She continued: “What started out as an invigorating, life-enhancing, joyous experience evolved into something quite crazy. A strange artistic process, but a sign of the time. We’re all digital, we’re all vulnerable and everything’s instant — so instant. Instant success and instant failure. Instant discovery, instant destruction, instant construction. It’s as splendid and wonderful as it is devastating. Honestly, to me it’s the death of being an artist in many ways.” We spoke in her sitting room, where a Fernand Léger painting presides from above the fireplace. A large coffee table was neatly stacked with books and folders of photographs that Madonna has been using for research as she works on the screenplay for her next film project, based on the novel “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells.” Imposing cream-colored couches flanked the coffee table, but Madonna preferred sitting on the floor.

Question: On what date Samuel Harrell announced he was going home?

On the evening of April 21 in Building 21 at the Fishkill Correctional Facility, Samuel Harrell, an inmate with a history of erratic behavior linked to bipolar disorder, packed his bags and announced he was going home, though he still had several years left to serve on his drug sentence. Not long after, he got into a confrontation with corrections officers, was thrown to the floor and was handcuffed. As many as 20 officers — including members of a group known around the prison as the Beat Up Squad — repeatedly kicked and punched Mr. Harrell, who is black, with some of them shouting racial slurs, according to more than a dozen inmate witnesses. “Like he was a trampoline, they were jumping on him,” said Edwin Pearson, an inmate who watched from a nearby bathroom. Mr. Harrell was then thrown or dragged down a staircase, according to the inmates’ accounts. One inmate reported seeing him lying on the landing, “bent in an impossible position.”

Question: Why did Ferrari not want to supply Red Bull with an engine?

After discussions, the Italian team rejected the idea of supplying Red Bull, although it did accept to supply Toro Rosso, Red Bull’s second team. Ferrari, which is scraping its way back from its worst period in more than a decade, did not want to give the same engine that its cars use to a team that could well beat it. And that is what Red Bull wanted. “The possibility of cooperating with Red Bull regarding the development of a power unit remains an option,” said Sergio Marchionne, the president of Fiat and Ferrari. “But not in the context of Ferrari equipping Red Bull with an engine equivalent to what Ferrari races.”

Question: Who did Malcolm Turnbull replace as prime minister?

SYDNEY, Australia — When Malcolm Turnbull was sworn in on Tuesday, he did not only become Australia’s 29th prime minister — he also became its fourth in just over two years. His three immediate predecessors were ousted by their own parties, including Tony Abbott, who was forced out Monday in a leadership challenge led by Mr. Turnbull. Now that Mr. Turnbull, a wealthy lawyer and former investment banker, has the country’s top job, his main challenge is clear, said Hugh White, an intelligence analyst who from 1985 to 1991 advised Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Defense Minister Kim Beazley.

Question: When Nishikori had a match against Wawrinka in last years United States Open, who won?

He added: “I had the wind with me, so it was not easy to make a drop shot, especially at that moment. No, it was a crazy tiebreak, but good tiebreak. Good to finish in three sets.” After his run to the final of the United States Open last year, which included a five-set win over Wawrinka in the quarterfinals, Nishikori was expected by many to move one step further at this tournament. Still, he said, reaching the last eight of this tournament was a strong result. “It’s not easy,” he said of making a Grand Slam quarterfinal, adding: “I have to keep doing this. I mean, I could be better. But you know, I think I need, kind of, this experience, playing tough all the time, playing a lot of matches.” Wawrinka said he believed his play was even better than it was here last year, when he beat Djokovic and Rafael Nadal en route to his first major title. “But I think we all improve every year,” Wawrinka said. “I’m more aggressive. I’m more confident with my game when I come to the net.

Question: By increasing district level defenses, who might benefit?

“The Taliban have all of a sudden felt a rush after Kunduz — they are abandoning plans for districts and making runs on cities,” said a senior Afghan official, who like others interviewed about security spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid political risk. The militia expansion plan is a reversal for President Ashraf Ghani, who had long talked about the importance of solidifying “the state monopoly over the use of force” in a country still deeply scarred by its civil war. Militia forces wielded by American-backed warlords were responsible for some of the worst atrocities in that decade-long conflict. Afghan officials who described the new plan, however, bluntly called it a matter of survival: Given a choice between ceding territory to the Taliban and reinforcing areas with semiformal militias deemed abusive and predatory, the government is opting for the latter. Officials said the plan called for the immediate recruitment of an additional 15,000 armed militiamen under the Afghan Local Police program, and according to some accounts that may rise to as many as 30,000. The measure is supposed to focus on beefing up defenses at the district level, potentially freeing up the badly overstretched army and the national police to concentrate their forces for more strategic strikes. While the Americans had long told the Afghan government to respect the 30,000 cap for the force, at least two Afghan officials said that discussions were underway and that the American military had shown interest in finding a way to fund the program’s expansion, which is believed to cost more than the force’s current $120 million annual budget. Mr. Ghani has told his officials he will seek other sources if the American funding does not materialize.

Question: Whose music was ubiquitous on New York?

It can be read as an ode to Mr. Lloyd Webber’s rock ’n’ roll coming-of-age, containing snippets of the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (an inescapable radio hit from his adolescence); Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” (a nod to that band’s lead singer, Ian Gillan, the original Jesus of “Superstar”); and “Walk on the Wild Side,” by Lou Reed (whose music was ubiquitous on his early visits to New York). Looking solely at the show’s creative team, Mr. Slater acknowledged, “Certainly, from a socio-economic standpoint, this is not the most obvious group to make ‘School of Rock — The Musical.’”

Question: What kind of sneakers are mentioned?

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.

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. <hl> 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. <hl> 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 do the tanker drivers face criticism from?

Residents have objected and even staged a sit-in, but the tankers keep coming for the water, kicking up clouds of fine dust as they drive off. The drivers, often from the city, say they are scorned by their neighbors. “We need to feed our families too,” one of them, Saaed Salimizadeh, said. “When the water runs out, it will run out for all of us. We have to choose between jobs and drinking water.” Sirjan is by no means alone in its water shortages. In surrounding Kerman Province, 1,455 of 2,064 village reservoirs have dropped below levels needed to sustain the population, according to the local water management agency. The semiofficial Mehr news agency reported in July, citing local statistics, that 541 villages were dependent on tanker deliveries for their water.

Question: Before metathesis, this chemical reaction would need what type of temperature?

Mr. Chauvin was the first to explain chemical reactions involving petroleum compounds in which two molecules swap groups of atoms. The reactions, called metathesis (pronounced meh-TATH-eh-sis), which means “changing places,” break and then re-form strong “double bonds” between carbon atoms. That process generally requires high temperatures and immense pressures; metathesis, however, takes place under relatively mild conditions, is often quicker than conventional processes, consumes less energy and produces less waste — advantages for chemical companies and for the environment. For years, chemists were unable to explain how the bonds were being rearranged.

Question: What flooded the author's body?

As he tells it in his book “Roads of Excess, Palaces of Wisdom,” something happened one evening: “Although my body was asleep, resting almost anesthetized on its back, not unlike a corpse, consciousness was lucid and clear, fully awake. Suddenly, without warning, a powerful electric-like energy flooded the body with wave after wave.” Mr. Kripal does not take the imagination to be an electrical byproduct of some naturalist process. He takes it to be capable of more, to be real in a more complicated way.

Question: Who is known as a leader even when not playing in the games?

In the Brown mold, James, at 30, has emerged as a leader off the court as he has matured as a player. He was vocal in calling for the removal of the Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling last year. He wore an “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirt to protest acts of police violence, and last month, he called for calm when a white Cleveland policeman was acquitted in the shooting deaths of two black motorists. “In a subtler way, he has had to carry the same kind of burden and use the same kind of wisdom,” Brown said. “For him to have to have the ability to deal with the politics of being back in Cleveland, dealing with the politics of his own team, I have great admiration for what I see as a great contribution by a human being on and off the field. “

Question: What is causing the attacks to the bureau?

The bureau is in the meantime coming under fire from lawmakers of both parties for failing to meet the challenges of today’s searing drought. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the majority leader and a Republican from California’s parched inland, has criticized the bureau’s efforts in his state. Lawmakers like Mr. McCarthy are particularly furious that the bureau and the State of California continue to direct scarce water into rivers to support fish habitat, even as farms wither and families struggle to make do with less water.

Question: Who is trying to raise taxes to raise government revenues?

There are some promising signs of progress. For instance, the tax authorities have increased the use of digital filing methods, cutting into the mountains of paperwork. Some small businesses are thought to have benefited from a method aimed at simplifying their taxes. New legislation requiring retailers to estimate the amount of sales taxes embedded in the prices of their products is raising awareness among some Brazilians about the taxes they pay on everyday purchases. That, in turn, seems to be stoking anger about the deplorable quality of the education, health care, policing and other public services they receive in return. Brazil’s economic crisis is opening a new debate about taxes, with President Dilma Rousseff’s administration seeking to resuscitate a tax on financial transactions in an effort to raise government revenues. Other proposals under consideration would raise taxes on fuel and inheritance.

Question: What inconsistencies do biases inherent in static scoring have?

Perhaps more important, the biases inherent in static scoring are not the same for all possible policy changes, making comparison of alternative options less reliable. For example, suppose one member of Congress proposes a cut in the corporate tax rate, while another proposes an increase in the child tax credit to help middle-income families. Because the corporate tax is often considered one of the most distortionary taxes in the federal arsenal, cutting it would promote economic growth. The true cost of the tax cut, as estimated by dynamic scoring, would most likely be much less than its static score.

Question: where did their boyfriends go to school?

“This knocked me off my feet,” she said, adding, “when I left Sweet Briar, there was no question that I would go on to graduate school.” Jo Ann Soderquist Kramer, class of ’64, said that when she arrived for her freshman year, she and her roommate each unpacked identical framed 8-by-10 photographs of their high school sweethearts and set them carefully on their bureaus. She also recalled being driven all the way to Massachusetts one football weekend (the sweethearts were Amherst and Williams men) in a white Cadillac with a hired driver named Coffee Jackson.

Question: Who was one of the final guest interviewed on Bugun TV?

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 predicted to be included in the event?

Super Bowl 50 will be played in five months. The game is so far in the future that The San Jose Mercury News has nothing better to do than speculate about whether Taylor Swift might sing at the halftime show. A long list of events needs to unfold at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., before it hosts the big game on Feb. 7: like an entire N.F.L. season, for instance. But with the season opener approaching tonight between the Steelers and the Patriots, Paul Bessire’s N.F.L. “Prediction Machine” doesn’t need to wait five months. It knows a lot about Super Bowl 50 already. Including which teams will participate (the Green Bay Packers and the Indianapolis Colts). And the final score (31-28, Packers). So, everyone can stay home — no need to play the games.
