Question: The roundabout in the Glories area of Barcelona has been torn down as part of what program?

Not so long ago, travelers might have stopped in the Glòries area of Barcelona only if they were stuck in traffic. Three major roads leading in and out of this Spanish city — Avenida Diagonal, Avenida Meridiana and the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes — converged here at an elevated roundabout, where cars often came to a standstill. But lately this northeastern axis of the Catalan capital — situated in the Sant Martí district, bordering Eixample — is becoming a place to go to, not just through, especially for those interested in design. The roundabout has been torn down as part of a roadway reconfiguration, making the area more walkable. And some of the city’s most exciting public spaces have sprung up nearby, including a popular flea market under a modernist metal roof and, opening last December, the Barcelona Design Museum. “The area is definitely up-and-coming,” said the tour guide Jordan Susselman, whose company, Hi. This Is Barcelona … ,  increasingly makes stops in Glòries and adjacent Poblenou. In fact, the city has been trying to invigorate this part of town for some time. Ildefons Cerdà, the engineer who drew up the 1859 plan for the expansion of Barcelona, envisioned his Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes as a new town center. Instead, Glòries (pronounced GLO-rias), as it’s commonly called, became the aforementioned traffic snarl, a no man’s land at the top point of a triangular swath stretching down to the Mediterranean, encompassing Poblenou, or “new city,” a longtime manufacturing zone that declined in the 20th century.

Question: Who did critics say the prosecutor and his assistants weren't tough enough on?

“I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure all lives matter,” the prosecutor said. In the aftermath of the grand jury decision, critics said that Mr. McCulloch and his assistants had presented evidence in ways that favored the police officer, Darren Wilson, and cast doubt on the victim, Michael Brown. On Friday, Mr. McCulloch devoted much of his talk to rebutting such criticism, which included that he gave incorrect instructions to the grand jury and that his assistants were not tough enough in their questioning of witnesses who supported Officer Wilson’s version of events.

Question: How many casinos are allowed outside the New York City area?

At the meeting, Mr. Law noted that the board “never said” that two casinos in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region could not work. But he and the other members of the board emphasized that the new proposals had to be an improvement on the earlier projects. State legislation allows for up to four casino licenses outside of the New York City area. But in recommending only three projects for a license last month, the board warned about the possibility of cannibalizing an already crowded gambling market in the Northeast. The board could still decide not to award a license.

Question: What can a drug patent holder do during its patent period?

And that’s why pharmaceutical innovators pursue leads that can be patented. A drug patent, along with subsequent F.D.A. approval and granting of market exclusivity, offers the patent holder a period of time during which it may market the drug without competition. Even though the information about the efficacy and safety of the drug is available after clinical trials have been run, no other organization may use it to secure F.D.A. approval during the patent protection period. Typically, a drug reaches the market with about 13 years left on its original patent, though in some cases it can be extended longer. During the granted period of market exclusivity, pharmaceutical manufacturers can price drugs higher than they could if there were competition from firms marketing the same molecule. By doing so, they recover their investment and make a profit. Though many people are shocked by the high prices of some prescription drugs — like Gilead Sciences’ Sovaldi, a new and effective treatment for hepatitis C that can cost $84,000 per treatment — they’re the inducement for innovation.

Question: What was Thomas found guilty by jury of doing?

Dolan announced that Thomas, a Hall of Fame point guard, would serve as president of the W.N.B.A.’s Liberty, the city’s women’s basketball team. “We believe Isiah belongs in basketball,” Madison Square Garden officials said in a statement, “and are grateful that he has committed his considerable talent to help the Liberty succeed.” This statement is fine as far as it goes, particularly if you’ve suffered catastrophic memory loss. Thomas and Dolan last roamed together in the corporate suites at the Garden in 2008. A year before that, a jury found that Thomas had sexually harassed a team executive in the crudest of terms. The executive, now known professionally as Anucha Browne, testified that Thomas had used misogynistic slurs. When she complained to top officials at the Garden, Dolan personally insisted on firing her. Who among us does not believe in repentance and second chances? I called to ask the Garden about Thomas and the boss. Have the two men repented? Do they have second thoughts? Or have they rethought their first thoughts? This email statement arrived in my inbox:

Question: On what day is the celebration being held?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: What was Mrs. Chow's role at the event?

LOS ANGELES — I first met Eva Chow — encountered would actually be a better term — in 2013 in the courtyard of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It was the museum’s third Art & Film Gala, and Mrs. Chow, a host with Leonardo DiCaprio, was working the room like a piranha in a goldfish bowl. Air kisses with François-Henri Pinault. Chitchat with Jane Fonda. An excited wave to Ed Ruscha.

Question: What duty do watchdogs have?

Adding more teeth to the watchdogs’ bite, therefore, makes sense. And after all, it’s their duty to be skeptical. Granted, confrontation is less welcome. Much of that, though, stems from regulators, like attorneys general, who are also in the business of cultivating voters. But as the carnage becomes more distant in Washington’s rearview mirror, there’s a danger that legislation will dilute the work of watchdogs. On Thursday, a bipartisan group of senators dropped a new bill into the hopper to regulate the regulators, forcing quicker verdicts on exams and reviews when financial institutions complain. Even some of the biggest bank critics, like Daniel K. Tarullo, the Federal Reserve governor, have shown a willingness to consider rolling back rules for smaller lenders.

Question: Why use snapchat

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.

Question: How many people are estimated to live in Marble Cliff?

SETTING: This house is in Marble Cliff, a village of about 580 people just northwest of downtown Columbus, and one of the city’s first suburbs. The village has large late 19th- and early 20th-century single-family houses on neat tree-lined streets, with some newer construction and business along the Scioto River. Columbus airport is about 15 minutes away; downtown is 10 minutes, as is Short North, a shopping, gallery and dining district near the Ohio State University campus.

Question: What is the best router for most people for buying purposes?

The Archer C7’s exceptional performance on a 5 GHz signal is its strength. Devices often had the same download speeds at long range as short range when connected to the Archer C7’s 5 GHz Wi-Fi. But at the longer distance, when switched to the Archer C7’s 2.4GHz network, each device’s download speeds dropped, sometimes by more than 80 percent. In summary: For a stronger, faster wireless connection, stay on the router’s 5 GHz band for as long as you can. Older routers aren’t the best at that; a newer router like TP-Link’s Archer C7 is a much better option. Buying Advice The best router for most people is the Archer C7 ($100). It’s a dual-band 802.11ac router, meaning it can run both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks, and it supports the fastest Wi-Fi speeds of every wireless device you can buy, including the MacBook Pro, the Samsung Galaxy S6 or the brand-new iPhone 6s. The Archer C7 is faster over longer distances than most routers that cost $150 or more, and it’s the best value of the more than two dozen routers The Wirecutter tested in the last two years.

Question: What things did Singhal ask about?

In the recent interview, Mr. Singhal illustrated the evolution of Google’s search business by taking out his phone and asking questions about things like music and trivia.  At one point he asked the phone about Rihanna to show off the company’s voice technology and demonstrate how mobile search results come with tappable actions such as the ability to play Rihanna music. A moment later, in what appeared to be a well-practiced demonstration, he asked the phone, “Which person was struck by lightning seven times and survived?” A robotic voice answered, “Roy Sullivan.” “Kids love questions like this,” he said. Mr. Singhal said that while mobile phones are changing the world quickly, people still want and need many of the same things, whether they are in apps or on the web. A good deal of time is still spent shopping for jeans or looking for a new place to eat lunch.

Question: What country's debt problems caused havoc in the eurozone?

The euro on Friday reached its lowest level against the dollar since June 7, 2010, when it hit $1.1923. The currency of the 19-nation eurozone has fallen nearly 14 percent since it climbed to $1.3910 on May 7. The last time the euro was so low, Greece’s debt problems were causing havoc in the eurozone and there was fear the common currency would not survive. Greece is again in turmoil, with coming elections likely to usher in a left-wing government, but is no longer the main cause of the euro’s decline. The concern now is that the eurozone is already stuck in the same kind of stagnation that has afflicted Japan for two decades. “History shows that falling prices can be as damaging to the prosperity and stability of our countries as high inflation,” Mr. Draghi told Handelsblatt.

Question: Where was Mr. Cradle arrested on drug charges?

The circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation. The police did not immediately say whether the gun they were searching for in the apartment had been found or why they believed it was there. Mr. Cradle, who was on probation for driving while intoxicated, had several prior arrests, though some were sealed. None of the unsealed arrests were for violent offenses, the police said. Public records indicated that in 2008 he pleaded guilty to a felony drug conspiracy charge — one of 37 defendants in a long-term narcotics investigation in the Cypress Hills housing development — and served less than a year in state prison.

Answer: Cypress Hills

Question: What crippled the economy in Iran?

Speaking at a news conference to recognize the second anniversary of his election, Mr. Rouhani dismissed reports that Iranians would have to wait more than a few months for the lifting of sanctions, which have crippled Iran’s economy. Asked whether the wait for relief could be as long as a year, he said, “A one-year difference is totally untrue.” “It might be one month,” he added. “We are still discussing.” In the coming weeks, Iran and the world powers — the United States, Russia, France, Britain, China and Germany — will intensify talks that can lead either to a breakthrough deal on Iran’s nuclear program or a more remote possibility, the end of negotiations. In recent months, Iranian leaders have insisted that if they need more time to reach a deal, the talks should continue beyond the June 30 deadline.

Question: What is the name of the hospital the baby was brought to?

The mother of a baby who was left this week in an unadorned crèche inside a Roman Catholic church in Queens was found and will not face criminal prosecution, the county district attorney said late Wednesday. The baby, who was found on Monday, remained in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, officials said. Officially, the baby, a boy, is in the custody of the city’s Administration for Children’s Services, as is routine in such cases. Richard A. Brown, the Queens district attorney, said in a statement that his office had decided not to press charges against the woman, whom he did not identify by name, after she was located and interviewed on Wednesday.

Question: What is the Yankee's average home attendance according to MLB?

(Major League Baseball, which calculates attendance differently, has the Yankees’ average home attendance at 40,086.) The Mets are averaging 31,257 a game this season, a 17.6 percent rise from last season. That is still about 10,000 short of the capacity at Citi Field, but this season’s increase of 4,689 fans a game represents a drastic shift from a dispiriting trend: Attendance had fallen almost 32 percent from a peak of 38,941 during the inaugural season of the ballpark six years ago. Yet perhaps a more precise reflection of the passion of a fan base is viewership on a team’s cable television channel. After all, most fans prefer to watch games without having to buy tickets, which can be expensive. The Yankees’ YES Network started in 2002, soon after the peak years of the dynasty. The Mets’ SNY began in 2006 and then capitalized on a three-year period when the Mets were a good team, albeit one that endured heart-wrenching late-season collapses in 2007 and 2008.

Question: What does research demonstrate about preventive care?

But what about prevention? In certain situations, early spending on someone’s health will stop an expensive disease in its tracks, reducing future spending. Giving people health insurance often enables them to get just this sort of preventive care — and Obamacare requires insurers to offer most preventive services without charging any co-payments. You might expect health spending to jump initially, then slow in future years as people benefit from new prevention. But research shows that even preventive care rarely ends up saving money.

Answer: rarely ends up saving money

Question: What is Didier Reynders' title?

“I see no reason to delay,” said Linas Linkevicius, the foreign minister of Lithuania. He noted that a cease-fire, known as the Minsk agreement, between the Ukrainian government and Russian-backed separatist rebels had not yet been fully carried out. “If we don’t see real progress in the implementation of the Minsk agreement, then we need to go further,” said Didier Reynders, the Belgian foreign minister. “Without that, we need to prolong the sanctions.” Federica Mogherini, the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, told reporters at a news conference on Monday that the union could reach a political decision as soon as Thursday at the summit meeting here. “The general assessment today was clearly going in the direction of the rollover of sanctions,” she said.

Question: Essa-Pekka Salonen is what?

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: Who played the finger symbols?

This week, Tony Waag, the perpetually cheerful director of the American Tap Dance Foundation, presides over Tap City, a festival now in its 15th year. On Wednesday in “Tap Forward,” a program highlighting contemporary tappers at the intimate Duke on 42nd Street, there was even a flash from the past: The veteran Brenda Bufalino showed off her polished finish as she quietly blended in and out of a groove in “Strayhorn Medley.” Several “Tap Forward” offerings, despite the progressive-sounding title, ran toward the conservative. When Mr. Waag’s lineup did step out of the box, as with “Shiva’s Dance Yoga,” a kathak performance by Rachna Nivas, who sang, played the finger symbols and danced, the inclusion felt random — it wasn’t tap — and her execution uneven. There were musical theater numbers with pasted-on smiles, and a sand dance in Susan Hebach’s “Nica’s Dream,” in which performers shuffle their feet on grains of sand. Here, three sand dancers were accompanied by four tap dancers; but they needed more variety, not backup dancers.

Question: What is the trade-off for additional policing and sanitation?

As for fears about noisy Berliners partying late into summer nights there, the Flussbad may require what Times Square’s pedestrian plazas do: more policing and sanitation. But that’s the trade-off for making a more popular and accessible public space. It would be great if Berliners reclaimed a site that is now for tourists and dead at night. It would be good for the city, too, to recuperate a long-abject waterway at its center, and keep faith with its post-Wall soul. How do you say “cannonball!” in German?

Question: Which business did Uber say it is in?

Shannon Liss-Riordan, a lawyer representing the drivers, called the ruling “a major victory for Uber drivers.” Uber has contested the suit since its filing, asserting that the company is in the technology and logistics business, and is essentially an online marketplace that matches willing riders with available drivers. Uber has frequently also said that its drivers are able to set their own schedules and do not have to abide by the many other requirements that companies can impose on employees. In July, the company came out strongly against the class-action suit, presenting testimonials from more than 400 drivers who say they appreciate Uber’s flexibility.

Question: What's the max subsidy for a 3 bedroom apartment in the cheapest area?

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: Who plays Gerda 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: What was Garcia's budget?

Dr. García, 68, had immigrated to Miami at age 14 as part of Operation Pedro Pan, during which 14,000 unaccompanied minors were flown to the United States from Cuba. At Columbia, he teaches multiplatform design and storytelling, preparing his students for “the media quintet,” which includes journalism delivered via smartwatch along with the existing quartet of phone, tablet, computer and print. As a runner, Dr. García set his sights on his “geographic essential” — a location on or near Central Park West. He wanted to buy a one-bedroom in good condition with a doorman to receive packages. His budget topped out in the high $600,000s.

Question: When are the negotiations scheduled to end?

As the negotiations continued furiously in Lausanne, Switzerland, over the past week, Mr. Netanyahu made daily statements railing against them. He emphasized Iran’s involvement in regional conflicts, most recently Yemen, and denounced an Iranian general’s declaration in recent days that “the destruction of Israel is nonnegotiable.” “Well, I want to make clear to all: the survival of Israel is nonnegotiable,” the prime minister declared on Friday. “Israel will not accept an agreement which allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons, period.” Israel is not a party to the talks, which aim to reach a final accord by June 30, and at times he has complained of being left out of the loop. But President Obama, in a telephone call to Mr. Netanyahu shortly after the framework was announced, promised to renew security consultations and deepen coordination. One question going forward is how fiercely Mr. Netanyahu will fight the deal in Congress, where he spoke against it last month at the invitation of the House speaker, John A. Boehner, a Republican, infuriating the White House and some Democratic members. He gave no hint of his next steps in the Friday statement, beyond the demand for recognition. While Mr. Netanyahu had not previously mentioned recognition in regard to Iran, he has made a similar call in recent negotiations with the Palestinians.

Question: Who directed "Tamasha"?

★ ‘Steve Jobs’ (R, 2:02) This three-panel portrait of the Apple co-founder, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, portrays Jobs (Michael Fassbender) as a complicated, ambitious man caught in a tangle of messy personal and business relationships. Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. (Scott) ‘Tamasha’ (No rating, 2:35, in Hindi) Imtiaz Ali’s Bollywood melodrama begins as an agreeable romance between a vacationing young man (Ranbir Kapoor) and woman (a charismatic but largely squandered Deepika Padukone); morphs into a professional identity crisis for the man; and concludes as a lavish self-serving ode by the director to his own calling. (Webster)

Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. <hl> (Scott) ‘Tamasha’ (No rating, 2:35, in Hindi) Imtiaz Ali ’s Bollywood melodrama begins as an agreeable romance between a vacationing young man (Ranbir Kapoor) and woman (a charismatic but largely squandered Deepika Padukone); morphs into a professional identity crisis for the man; and concludes as a lavish self-serving ode by the director to his own calling. <hl> (Webster)

Question: How much were the Turks paid for each passport?

Nine of the Turkish citizens arrested in Shanghai had come to China to hand over their passports to traffickers who were trying to smuggle out the Uighurs, Global Times reported, adding that the Turks were paid $2,000 a passport. Each of the Uighurs had paid the traffickers 60,000 renminbi, or about $9,700, for a passport, according to the report. It said the Uighurs were trying to leave China on flights from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The report identified the main two traffickers as Lamazan, a Turkish citizen, and Dawuti, a Chinese citizen living in Turkey. Dawuti is a Mandarin Chinese transliteration of a Uighur name. The report said Dawuti was a native of Kashgar, a Silk Road oasis city in the Uighur heartland near the border with Pakistan. The two men had a Turkish citizen, identified as Kaluke, alter the passports, the report said.

Question: At what time will the celebration begin?

“The first digits are actually 3.1415,” said Cindy Lawrence, the museum’s executive director and co-founder. (Pi’s decimal places extend indefinitely.) “So Saturday’s date is the first five digits of pi.” Thus on Saturday, the museum has planned a grand celebration, starting at 9 a.m. in Madison Square Park, where even small children can help form circles. “We’ll get people to line up and count out the distance around the circles, and others to do the distance across them,” Ms. Lawrence said. This pacing will illustrate that the circumference is about three times greater. Staff members will also pass out a graphic and lead a brief countdown to 9:26:53 a.m. because, yes, those are the next digits in pi.

Question: Why is Dr. Ohayon treading gingerly?

Now he has returned to the research: In the Green Neuroscience Laboratory, a sandboxlike table is home to small robot used to model neural network behavior. The research group recently published work exploring the basis of neural activity needed to support movement in an environment. But Dr. Ohayon is treading gingerly, looking for ways to ensure that his findings are not misused. “We have to treat neuroscience and robotics like we treat biological and chemical weapons,” he said. Dr. Lam and Dr. Ohayon have decided that all of their research projects must have two components.

Question: How did injuries affect Johannson?

The United States national team coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, has frequently said that he hopes his players push themselves to play in the best leagues — comments that have, at times, drawn the ire of M.L.S. officials. Despite those wishes, many prominent Americans have left European clubs to sign multimillion-dollar deals with M.L.S. Dempsey returned in 2013, and he was soon followed by Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Altidore, Mix Diskerud and Sacha Kljestan. Johannsson’s move, especially if he earns regular playing time and continues to score goals, could be good news for his national team career. In 2013, Johannsson, who was born in Alabama but raised in Iceland, changed his international allegiance to the United States after years of representing Iceland at the youth level. Since then, he has consistently been part of the national team, including the World Cup squad in 2014, when injuries limited him to one appearance. The move to the Bundesliga could signify a shift, and help Johannsson press Dempsey, 32, and Altidore, 25, on Klinsmann’s depth chart heading into qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Werder Bremen should be able to use Johannsson right away; it transferred the Argentine forward Franco Di Santo, its top scorer last season, with 13 goals, to Schalke on July 25.

Question: What caused Putin to be removed from the G-8 countries?

The applause, of course, is the short-term reason Mr. Putin is coming to the United Nations for the first time in a decade. Because of the Ukraine crisis, he was thrown out of the G-8 countries of leading economic powers, and felt so snubbed at the last G-20 meeting in Australia that he flew home early.

Question: Where do the volunteers writing articles in Wikipedia come from ?

Most people search and read Wikipedia anonymously, since you don’t need an account to view its tens of millions of articles in hundreds of languages. Every month, at least 75,000 volunteers in the United States and around the world contribute their time and passion to writing those articles and keeping the site going — and growing.

Question: What was the negotiations with Iran about?

Asked on Friday about Mr. Netanyahu’s new demand, a State Department spokeswoman, Marie Harf, told reporters in Washington that the negotiations with Iran on the agreement were “only about the nuclear issue.” In the Palestinian arena, Mr. Netanyahu has demanded not only the recognition of Israel’s right to exist – something the leadership has already done — but recognition that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people. Without that recognition, the prime minister argues, any peace deal would not necessarily portend the end of the long-running conflict. Mr. Netanyahu’s statement on the Iran deal was his lengthiest and most detailed of the past week.

Question: What is Lundqvist's record in the Garden for game 7's

He went to the corner, along with Cam Talbot, his backup, and the two of them started shuffling, sliding in place, reacting to invisible pucks. Then he and Talbot took turns in net as a staff member fired shots from close range and different angles. Practice had not officially started, but Lundqvist was working up a sweat. This is the way he starts most every practice, though. The Rangers were preparing to play Game 7 of their second-round playoff series against the Washington Capitals, set for Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, and Lundqvist was acting as if it were any other game. “My preparation has stayed the same for years,” Lundqvist said afterward. “I don’t change anything when the games get more important. I like consistency. I try to stick with the same approach.” It is hard to argue with him. Lundqvist has won 13 of his last 16 games in which the Rangers have faced elimination, posting a 1.42 goals-against average, a .955 save percentage and two shutouts. He is undefeated in his last nine elimination games at the Garden and owns a 5-1 career record in Game 7s.

Question: Where was Mr. Reed warmly received?

Indeed, Mr. Reed said he had been more warmly received in Europe where, in a series of recent shows, he explored the concept of the filmstrip in his paintings. “It’s always been strange to feel that I’m an American painter who’s much more appreciated in Europe than I am here,” he said. Mr. Reed is creating a work for Mr. Blum’s West 57th Street gallery — seven adjacent Technicolor canvases making a 42-foot-long horizontal piece that appears to extend through a wall and into Mr. Blum’s office. “I hope the painting seems endless,” Mr. Reed said. “I’m excited about what I’m doing now,” he added. “I just hope I live long enough to be able to explore it. Painting is a long game — you need a lot of years. I feel like I’m finally getting a feel for certain things and it’s taken me this long to do it.”

Question: What could make traditional search engine less central?

The same, he said, could turn out to be true of Google. The rise of mobile devices and the prevalence of apps could make the traditional search engine less central. And if the regulators emerge victorious, they could end up constraining Google in a way that makes its services less useful to consumers — which would be a hollow victory indeed. The similarities in the cases against Microsoft and Google are striking. Microsoft once had a dominant position in the worldwide market for computer operating systems: Windows was installed on nearly 90 percent of desktop computers. Google’s current position in the market for web search engines looks similarly unbeatable: The company claims nine out of every 10 searches in Europe.
