Question: Where does Russell Crowe's character Richie Roberts live?

12:30 P.M. (AMC) AMERICAN GANGSTER (2007) Ridley Scott directs this Oscar-nominated crime drama set in the 1970s. Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) is a gangster in Harlem who finds that he can get the best heroin cheap from Southeast Asia, smuggled to the United States in the coffins of American soldiers sent from Vietnam. He calls the heroin Blue Magic and takes over the market. Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) is an obnoxiously honest New Jersey detective. When his partner (John Ortiz) dies from an overdose of Blue Magic, Richie is asked to lead a drug trafficking task force. A corrupt New York detective named Trupo (Josh Brolin) bridges the gap between the two lead characters. “You can almost feel Mr. Scott trying to coax the material away from its generic trappings toward something rarefied, something like Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 definitive American story, ‘The Godfather,’ ” Manohla Dargis wrote in The New York Times. “He comes closest to that goal with the suggestion that the lethal pursuit of the American dream is not restricted to one or two families — the Corleones, say, or the Sopranos — but located in a network of warring tribes that help to obscure the larger war of all against all.” 7 P.M. (FX) THE AVENGERS (2012) In this film written and directed by Joss Whedon, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) makes a deal with aliens: If he gives them the Tesseract, a mythically powerful energy source, they will give him an army with which to rule Earth. Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) leads S.H.I.E.L.D., the agency that oversees the Avengers, the superhero team made up of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). When Loki does as villains do and begins wreaking havoc on New York City, the Avengers must put aside their differences and save the world. “This movie revels in the individuality of its mighty, mythical characters, pinpointing insecurities that are amplified by superhuman power and catching sparks that fly when big, rough-edged egos (and alter egos) collide,” A. O. Scott wrote in The Times. “The best scenes are not the overblown, skull-assaulting action sequences — which add remarkably little that will be fresh or surprising to devotees of the “Transformers” franchise — but the moments in between, when the assembled heroes have the opportunity to brag, banter, flirt and bicker.”

Question: Which actor takes on the role of Steve Jobs?

★ ‘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) ★ ‘Taxi’ (No rating, 1:22) Shot almost entirely with a dashboard-mounted video camera, Jafar Panahi’s latest film — his third since the Iranian government banned him from practicing his craft in 2010 — is a wry meditation on the slippery boundary between movies and reality and a pointed work of social criticism. What seems like a random series of encounters turns out to be an elegantly shaped and poignant parable of modern urban life. (Scott) ★ ‘Theeb’ (No rating, 1:40, in Arabic) The title character in the “Arabic western,” set in 1916 and heavily influenced by Sergio Leone, is a Bedouin boy stranded in the desert with the mercenary who killed his older brother. The survival drama is as tough as it is picturesque. (Holden)

Question: When did the attack occur?

The attack occurred around 8:20 a.m., when the victim, a student at the private Whitestone Academy, was “accosted from behind,” Chief Boyce said. She was carrying a bag and walking east on 13th Avenue near 147th Street in the Whitestone neighborhood, he said. The assailant was wearing a hood over his head, and was “wearing a surgical mask and he has surgical gloves on,” Chief Boyce said. Detectives retrieved video images of the attacker that showed him running away. Carolyn Rutigliano, who lives about a block from where the attack happened, said she heard the girl scream. It lasted “about 15 seconds,” she said, and an ambulance came shortly afterward. The police have not been able to identify him from the video, Chief Boyce said. The department released the video in the hopes that someone might be able to identify him.

Question: What type of shrimp was served as an appetizer?

We had fun sharing the appetizers, like the tamarind eggplant, thin half-dollar-size rounds of the night shade vegetable tossed with onions, chickpeas and yogurt, and topped with tamarind chutney. It was tangy and cooling. Bagari shrimp, four jumbo shrimp in a thick yogurt and tomato sauce, came with puri, puffy fried bread, to scoop every last bit of curry. It was soul food. And the calamari Cochin, flash-fried squid rings with a coarse black pepper and corn flour coating, was as addictive as good onion rings.

Question: What is one metric used to identify potential shooters?

Where Congress has faltered, the states have moved to tighten safety aspects of gun ownership.

Question: Who conceived the museum quarter?

“Urban development and politics here should be like music in the city, where you have both the Philharmonic and nightclubs like Berghain,” Mr. Ludewig argued. “We should have Museum Island and also the Flussbad to show we’re still a city where crazy ideas can become reality.” Opponents of the Flussbad fume about the prospect of bikini-clad bathers despoiling a noble site. But the real embarrassment is the dirty canal. Architectural preservationists fret that stairways cut into the canal’s retaining walls will tamper with a World Heritage Site, altering the work of a cultural hero, the neo-Classical architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, who conceived the museum quarter. But the walls have been rebuilt untold times over the years, and a mess of lights, moorings and signs have been stuck onto them. They are hardly inviolable.

Question: When was "The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum" completed?

The Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi (1898-1956) was not only a great artist, but he was also an unusually prolific one. By 1939, the year he completed “The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum,” a breathtaking melodrama opening in a new restoration Friday, he had over 50 films to his credit. Yet, it was only with his 1936 feature “Osaka Elegy” that, by some accounts, Mr. Mizoguchi felt he had finally found his artistic footing. “Chrysanthemum,” set in late 19th-century Japan, tells the story of Kikunosuke (Shotaro Hanayagi), an egotistic Kabuki actor, and Otoku (Kakuko Mori), who sacrifices her own happiness to help him achieve greatness.

Question: When Ms. White moved what did she change?

There is also evidence that older children, particularly boys, often struggle in new neighborhoods. The costs of the move can outweigh the benefits of the new place. Ms. White says those issues are real enough but nothing compared with the feeling that she and her family are now safe. She was tired of stepping over the dice players on her stoop, tired of guiding her children around the fragments of broken bottles at the old housing project, which Ms. Russ, the head of the Dallas Housing Authority, called the most dangerous in the city. When she moved, she changed her cellphone number, cutting off her old friends.

Question: What the name of the TV show before them?

In preparing for your show, did you think about how it would fit together with David Letterman’s “Late Show”? We would talk about it in terms of atmosphere, and we’d go, what’s the show that’s on before us? It’s “Late Show With David Letterman” and it’s going to come from a Broadway theater that seats about 400 to 500 people. OK, well, where would you go after you’ve been to the theater? You’d go to somewhere that feels more intimate. So then we were like, What if we have a bar, and we’ll bring the audience closer? And then what if we have all of our guests out at the same time? I don’t know if we’re right. We could be very, very wrong. Do you expect a recalibration after Stephen Colbert takes over?

We would talk about it in terms of atmosphere, and we’d go, what’s the show that’s on before us? <hl> It’s “ Late Show With David Letterman ” and it’s going to come from a Broadway theater that seats about 400 to 500 people. <hl> OK, well, where would you go after you’ve been to the theater? You’d go to somewhere that feels more intimate. So then we were like, What if we have a bar, and we’ll bring the audience closer? And then what if we have all of our guests out at the same time? I don’t know if we’re right. We could be very, very wrong. Do you expect a recalibration after Stephen Colbert takes over?

Question: Who did Mr. Brezner spot in an improv class in the late '70s?

Mr. Brezner, who later worked out of Los Angeles, spotted a young Mr. Williams in an improv class there in the late ’70s and helped channel his perpetual motion into a routine that was cohesive and sometimes even sedately self-revealing. “He had comedic energy that rebounded through the room,” Mr. Brezner told The New York Times in 1985. “It felt like you’d stepped into a wind tunnel.” He added, “If he just did his thing, the effect was that people laughed a lot, but they wouldn’t know who he is.”

Question: What percentage of a gain did manufacturing inventories increase in May?

The upward revisions to core capital goods shipments, combined with a report on Monday showing stronger construction spending in May and April than previously reported, suggest second-quarter G.D.P. could be revised higher when the government publishes its second estimate later this year. The Commerce Department reported last week that the economy expanded at a 2.3 percent annual pace in the second quarter. A 0.6 percent increase in manufacturing inventories in June also pointed to an upward revision to second-quarter G.D.P. The rise in inventories followed a 0.1 percent gain in May. Unfilled orders at factories were unchanged in June after two straight months of decreases, potentially signaling stability in factory activity.

Question: Who directed the Ballet Theater's production of "Beauty?"

The 19th-century ballets tend to be labeled the classics, and “The Sleeping Beauty” (1890) has long been considered the most classical. It’s fair to say that Ballet Theater’s production of “Beauty,” directed by Alexei Ratmansky, is the most historically informed and sensitive production of any classic in our time. Perhaps its most startling suggestion is that we should reconsider the classicism of its master-choreographer, Marius Petipa. I’ve been watching this ballet for 40 years — but here the lines, phrasing, steps, extensions, footwork, turn-out, story-telling and mood are all different from what I’ve known. It’ll take a lot of getting used to. But it’s so musical that it’s immediately persuasive.

Question: What is the primary focus of the Same-Sex Marriage in the Military discussion?

But it has hit a roadblock, one that gay rights groups say the government created. The law granting veterans’ benefits determines whether a marriage is valid by considering “the law of the place where the parties resided at the time of the marriage.”

Question: What type of voice Mr. Bridges have that night?

But it also does him a disservice. What if it turns out that this isn’t Mr. Bridges’s true context after all? At the end of his main set — after the sax subsided, after the strolling bass stopped strolling — he stood onstage, clutching an acoustic guitar. Accompanied only by his backup singer, he began to play “River.” It’s the final song on his album, and the one on which the allusions to Mr. Cooke are the strongest, taking advantage of the slickness of Mr. Bridges’s voice. But here, he did something different with it: His voice was raspy, exhausted, unkempt. For the whole night, he’d been a character in some elaborate, underwhelming music trompe l’oeil. But stripped free of context, and unburdened by expectations, he was riveting. And timeless.

Question: What's the name of the next film Ms. Schoenhals is plotting?

Next Thing Ms. Schoenhals is plotting to wave her viral wand on bigger screens. A film adaptation of “White Girl Problems” is in the pipeline from Lionsgate. She would like to turn Cosmo Sex Tips into a half-hour TV show in which “various comedians and actors act out the sexy tips,” she said. And she is also writing a TV pilot centered on a young woman in Los Angeles who works at a vintage store that doubles as a drug front. “What could be funnier than a bunch of white girls juggling selling drugs and vintage clothing?” she said.

Question: Where was Sita Shrestha's body found?

The daily rhythm of search and disappointment continued until last Friday. That afternoon Mr. Shrestha received a call from the police confirming what he and his family had feared. Search and rescue teams had found a woman’s body in the rubble, bruised and bloated, lying next to a handbag. Inside was a cellphone, and the police were able to download the call history and identify a phone number that it had called the most. The number was her brother’s. Summoned to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, he and his brother-in-law were led crying into a room and shown the body. It was hers. Sita Shrestha was gone, but no longer missing.

Question: Who, specifically, did Singhal ask his phone 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: The new Penn & Teller show is in previews where?

“The idea is to allow people to be swept up into a shared mood in a live performance” without disruption, said Graham Dugoni, Yondr’s founder. Some theaters wonder whether embracing the enemy is the shrewder way to go. Several performing arts organizations, including some in the classical music world, have designated “tweet seats” where use of social media during selected performances is encouraged. At the beginning of their new Broadway show, now in previews, the magicians Penn & Teller invite the audience to turn on their cellphones as part of a magic trick.

Question: What did Kiev request that went nowhere?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States. Its request for a sophisticated antitank missile went nowhere, as Washington feared it would just encourage Russia to send more weapons and men to Ukraine. What eventually arrived was basic training.

Question: Streaming allows for audiences to read recap and do what else?

With the rise of DVDs and streaming sources, audiences are consuming shows differently. They binge-watch and read recaps. And television conventions have loosened. HBO series like “The Comeback” and “Girls” have fleshed-out character arcs, and the fourth season of “Arrested Development,” released online all at once by Netflix, featured complex plotting with shifts of perspective that would have been hard to imagine a decade ago.

Question: How many licenses are allowed?

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: How much of the population is not working and not seeking work?

The thing about the new jobs numbers is that, solid though they may be, they are solid in exactly the same way that most jobs numbers have been solid for the last couple of years. They don’t show the kind of progress on some key weaknesses in the economy that the Fed might like to see if it’s going to move faster, rather than slower, in the path of rate increases. Consider one of the great weaknesses of the economy the last few years: the millions of people who left the labor force entirely during the last recession and have not returned, many of them of prime working age. The new numbers don’t offer much sense of progress. The ratio of the population working was unchanged at 59.3 percent, which is only a tenth of a percentage point higher than it was a year earlier. And average hourly earnings rose 0.2 percent, which was what forecasters expected but also doesn’t suggest that wage inflation is starting to break out. That number is up 2.3 percent over the last year, which is hardly the stuff that would fuel fears of excessive inflation.

Question: Why did Connecticut lose manufacturing jobs?

“We are fighting for the future of middle-class families,” said Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut. “These trade deals make it much easier for corporations to send American jobs overseas.” Over the past 20 years, Connecticut has lost more than 96,000 manufacturing jobs, she said, because of agreements that failed to protect American workers. Sanders told the assembled media that while he liked the president’s speech, “he was wrong on one major issue, and that is the Trans-Pacific Partnership.” He added, “I do not believe that continuing a set of bad policies, policies that have failed, makes any sense at all.”

Question: People are more likely to invest in a 401(k) if their employer does what?

A wide range of research, for example, has found that people are far more likely to save through a 401(k) savings plan if their employer automatically enrolls them. But only in 2009 were I.R.S. rules put into effect to make clear that is an acceptable practice and what employers must do to make auto-enrollment legal. And the president has proposed more extensive legislation, which hasn’t gone anywhere in Congress, allowing “Automatic I.R.A.s.” This idea, floated years ago by the conservative Heritage Foundation, would create retirement plans run through employers in which people cannot opt out. That would ensure that everyone who works will accumulate retirement savings. The system of retirement savings as it exists today actually requires any American hoping for a comfortable standard of living to have a fair amount of foresight and financial savvy to save enough and put investments in appropriate vehicles. We’re not going back to the paternalistic days when your employer took care of everything and all you needed to do upon turning 65 was cash a pension check every month. But take these proposals together, and you can see a possible vision of what retirement savings in the 21st century might look like if President Obama gets his way. It will still revolve around tax-advantaged individual accounts invested in private accounts, with all the risk that implies. But the system may have a few more built-in safeguards to protect people from themselves.

Question: What happened to him?

A brain infection caused by a parasite was eventually suspected. Slowly, he recovered. “That changed him; it made him live in the moment,” Julie Trice said. “It made him realize that tomorrow is not promised, and neither is the next game.” Healthy again, Travis Trice had time to work out and get stronger. “He got up to maybe 175 pounds,” Izzo said, laughing. “But this past summer, he really advanced a lot physically. And I think he got more confident, too. Travis has always had a high basketball I.Q., but this season, I saw Travis develop in new ways. The last six weeks, he’s just been electric.”

Question: How much was Mr. Rodman expecting from the housing deal in Haiti if it went through?

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.

Question: What can Bitcoin be exchanged for that makes it so appealing?

One set of attackers, believed to be based in Russia and Ukraine, collected about $16.5 million in Bitcoins in a little over a month, primarily from victims in the United States, according to the security firm Sophos. Criminals like the virtual currency because it can be held in a digital wallet that does not have to be registered with any government or financial authority — and because it can be easily exchanged for real money. At the moment, a single Bitcoin can be sold online or on the street for around $290. “The criminal underground very much likes Bitcoin,” said Curt Wilson, a senior threat intelligence analyst at Arbor Networks. “It’s enabled a greater sense of obfuscation.”

Question: What material cost more than others when used to build a mantel?

Ms. Enger recommended using a “clean and simple” design that would appeal to both modern and traditional tastes. “Most people today don’t want anything too fussy,” she said. It’s also important to be aware of how the original surround was built. Many surrounds are made from brick veneer that is just stuck onto the wall, Ms. Enger said, and they can be removed relatively easily and replaced. But if the brick is an integral part of the wall, a cover-up job may be required. If you’re aiming for all-out luxury, you might consider installing a custom stone surround. Ms. Enger built a clean-lined limestone mantel for a spec house in Hoboken that she and her husband sold last May, she said, and it became one of the home’s most talked-about selling features. “It was something that everyone – realtors, potential buyers and friends – loved,” she said. Just be aware, she added, that “it’s definitely more pricey than wood or paint.”

Question: What is the Portuguese-language name for the Petrobras investigation?

If any good has come from the Petrobras debacle it is the flickering sense that this time could be different. Part of the reason is the work of Judge Sérgio Moro, who is overseeing the investigation, officially known as Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Carwash. In Brazil, judges have wide latitude to define both the direction and scope of criminal inquiries, and Judge Moro’s willingness to pursue even the eminent and influential has made him a folk hero. During a recent visit to the courthouse where he presides in Curitiba, ribbons of yellow and green, the national colors, were tied around trees, quiet expressions of solidarity and support. Another source of public optimism can be found on the eighth floor of an office building a few miles away, in rooms that could pass for a low-budget telemarketing operation. This is home to the team of nine prosecutors working on Lava Jato, as everyone here calls it.
