Question: Where does Megan Greene work?

“It will be extremely difficult for the Greek people to accept such an adjustment off the back of five years of economic depression,” Megan Greene, a managing director at the financial firm Manulife who has been monitoring the Greek situation, said in a report. The creditors’ insistence on tough terms reflects years of pent-up frustration with Greece’s slow progress in modernizing the economy. Many claim that austerity is harder than it would have otherwise been had Athens moved swiftly to promote change. Mr. Tsipras and most Greeks say that austerity is what killed the economy, especially after previous governments slashed state spending 20 percent since 2010 under previous bailouts, mainly by cutting pensions, wages, health care and social services, impoverishing many Greeks One of the more contentious new demands from creditors — one that is likely to prompt an outcry among Greeks — is that Greece transfer €50 billion worth of state assets to a fund that would have international monitors. The fund would oversee sales to pay down Greece’s debt and help recapitalize its teetering banks. While many Greeks are bewildered at the situation, some see a silver lining.

Question: Define cloud computing.

Now, the new hot trend of cloud computing — data centers filled with tightly connected servers — is remaking Intel. On Tuesday, Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., said that in the three months that ended Sept. 26, PC chips brought in $8.5 billion and chips for servers in cloud computing data centers brought in $4.1 billion. A year ago, PC chips brought in $9.2 billion and data center chips brought in $3.7 billion. The shifting businesses at Intel reflect broader changes in the computing industry, and what Intel chooses to focus on can affect the choices of many other companies.

Question: What is Molly Moon's offering to their employees?

Corporate America, as a whole, has long fought paid leave. Executives, especially at small businesses, say it burdens employers with additional costs and the need to temporarily replace employees. Some studies have found that when governments require paid leave, employers pay for it by decreasing employees’ wages. “I certainly think there’s a lot of people who benefit from paid leave,” said James Sherk, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative group in Washington. “But given it’s not a free lunch and employees are paying for it, I’d prefer it was a decision the employee was making and not being forced on them.” Some small businesses are offering their own paid leave policies. Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream, a Seattle chain, recently began offering employees 12 weeks of paid parental leave. “It was not just the right thing to do but also a really important retention policy,” said Molly Moon Neitzel, the owner. In the prelude to the 2016 election, Democrats have signaled that they see paid leave as a political winner — a broadly popular policy change that addresses economic anxiety. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate, has called for legislation to guarantee paid sick, vacation and family leave.

Question: What type of ice cream was on the menu?

On a balmy September evening, the place was marked by the hushed whispers of diners trying to figure out their first dish, ourselves included. After a cursory, but necessary, explanation from one of the chefs, we all tucked into fresh tortellini stuffed with eggplant and pickled onion in an Iranian lemon bouillon with chunks of orange-hued Mimolette cheese. This was followed by a flavorful herb-marinated beef carpaccio sprinkled with crushed peanuts, pickled cucumber and veils of radishes, then a buttery-smooth monkfish tail with maki rice chips and ginger-sautéed broccoli purée. Sesame ice cream crowned with crumbled hazelnuts and fresh figs ended the meal. Going against the local grain, the wine offering is a careful edit of foreign producers. “The idea behind the wine was like our cooking: Make it as international as possible,” Mr. Lahaut said.

Question: When did the plaintiff trade away his truck?

A Texas plumber has filed a lawsuit against a car dealership after a used truck he sold showed up on the front lines in Syria being used by Islamist fighters. The logo and phone number of his company, Mark-1 Plumbing, were still visible on the doors. After images of the truck appeared online, the plumber, Mark Oberholtzer of Galveston County, claims he lost business and received hundreds of threats that accused him of being a terrorist sympathizer. Mr. Oberholtzer is seeking more than $1 million in damages, in a lawsuit filed last week, according to his lawyer, Craig Eiland. A copy of the lawsuit was provided to The New York Times. Mr. Oberholtzer’s truck began its strange journey from fixing leaky pipes in suburban Texas to the Syrian battlefield in 2013. In October of that year, the lawsuit said, Mr. Oberholtzer handed over the 2005 Ford F-250 truck to AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway in Houston as part of a trade-in deal for a newer model. As the paperwork was being completed, Mr. Oberholtzer’s son started peeling off the decal on the truck that showed the phone number and name of the company, but the salesman told him to stop because it would harm the paint and said it would be removed later, the lawsuit said.

Question: The response of the crowd grew what during the match?

MASON, Ohio —  Days after making a remark to an opponent in Montreal that was picked up by on-court microphones and resulted in a $10,000 fine, Nick Kyrgios received a mixed reaction upon his arrival at his opening-round match at the Western & Southern Open. The response of the large crowd grew warmer during the match, but that was short-lived — not because Kyrgios again set off controversy but because his opponent Tuesday, 12th-seeded Richard Gasquet, completed a 6-2, 6-1 victory in just 56 minutes.

Question: To whom was Steven talking?

“Minsk II raises tough questions and leaves difficult issues for later,” said Steven Pifer, a former American ambassador to Ukraine. “It is a fragile arrangement, requiring good faith and follow-through from parties that have shown little of that in the past.” The Obama administration, which has indicated that it would send antitank missiles, surveillance drones and other far more serious battlefield weapons to Ukraine, said those plans would be shelved, for now, but would be revived if the parties failed to honor the agreement.

Question: Where does Fethullah Gulen live?

The conglomerate, which owns 22 companies, including two daily newspapers, Bugun and Millet, stands accused of ties to Fethullah Gulen, an Islamic cleric who lives in exile in Pennsylvania. Mr. Gulen’s followers were once allies of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s moderate Islamist party, but the government now considers them a shadowy underground network to be rooted out through purges of the police, the judiciary and the media. As the police forced camera crews outside the building to stop taking video, journalists retreated to the Bugun control room where Tarik Toros, the broadcaster’s editor in chief, fought the new trustees to keep the channel on the air as long as possible. That struggle was captured by Bugun reporters in dramatic footage that was later posted online with subtitles by Turkey’s Cihan News Agency.

Question: Where did Andrew Papachristos was born?

“People see ‘gang member,’ and the words ‘psycho killer’ instantly pop in their head. But that isn’t the case,” Andrew Papachristos, a Chicago native and an associate professor of sociology at Yale, says. A majority of residents who claim sets in Chicago are more like Trey, my close friend of 17 years and a member of the 81st Street Black P. Stones in Auburn Gresham. Trey has no violent criminal record and works full time as a security guard. In areas like Gresham, a lot of young men don’t have the luxury of opting out of affiliation with the local set; banding together in brotherhoods can be a survival strategy in neighborhoods where personal reputation is capital and walking the streets alone makes it more likely that you’ll be seen as weak.

Question: How many grand slams did Don Mattingy hit to set the record for most grand slams in 1987?

Don Mattingly is the author of one of baseball’s most preposterous statistical anomalies. In 1987, he set the major league record (it has since been tied) for most grand slams in a season — six — and those were the only ones he ever hit. Two of them came during a streak in mid-July when he matched the record for most consecutive games with a home run — eight — actually hitting 10 in eight games. The last one, in Texas against the Rangers, just barely sailed over the wall in left-center field, not exactly the left-handed Mattingly’s power alley. “Holy cow, he did it!” Phil Rizzuto screamed, announcing the feat on TV. “Holy cow, Mattingly is unbelievable.”

Question: What were the justices analysis based on?

In two opinions, five justices accepted Mr. Yates’s argument that fish were not the sort of tangible objects with which the law was concerned. Their analysis was based on a close reading of the words and structure of the law. The case arose from a 2007 search of the Miss Katie, Mr. Yates’s fishing vessel. A Florida field officer, John Jones, boarded it at sea and noticed fish that seemed less than 20 inches long, which was under the minimum legal size of red grouper at the time. Mr. Jones, an officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and a federal deputy, measured the fish and placed the 72 he deemed too small in a crate. He issued a citation and instructed Mr. Yates to take the crate to port for seizure. But Mr. Yates had the fish thrown overboard and replaced with larger ones. A second inspection in port aroused suspicions, and a crew member eventually told law enforcement officials what had happened.

Question: Who were the two main traffickers?

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: What was already happening within the company?

“Bluetec technology allows us to demonstrate Audi’s commitment to always being at the very forefront of diesel technology,” he said in remarks at the Detroit auto show at the beginning of 2007. But internal friction within the company was already building. Mr. Bernhard unexpectedly did not attend that auto show, and soon resigned. Behind the scenes, Mr. Hatz was part of a faction at the company that supported using a less expensive system that did not require urea, according to two Volkswagen managers who were in a position to witness the clashes. The managers requested anonymity because they did not want to jeopardize their relationships with Volkswagen. Mr. Hatz’s viewpoint won out and the technology-sharing arrangement was soon scrapped.

Question: Who is the most recent person to resign amidst the investigation?

The United investigation grew out of the federal inquiry into the 2013 closing of lanes at the George Washington Bridge, and Mr. Fox is the latest high-ranking figure to leave his post amid those investigations. Last month, the chief executive of United, Jeff Smisek, resigned, as did two other top United executives who also attended the September 2011 dinner. People close to the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it is continuing, told The New York Times that prosecutors had been asking witnesses before a grand jury questions about Mr. Fox.

Question: How many times has the N.H.L. blocked out its players?

By pointing to freedom abroad, M.L.S. demonstrates that restraining salaries in a sports landscape where free agency is rampant will naturally lead those without it to push hard for it. Yet The Daily Mail has calculated that the average player salary in M.L.S. ranks 22nd among the world’s soccer leagues, a fraction of the average in top competitions like England’s Premier League and Germany’s Bundesliga. No wonder M.L.S. players want more. The question is: How far will they go to get it? The 1994 baseball players’ strike came at the expense of the World Series. The N.H.L. has locked out its players three times, once for a full season.

Question: From which gallery was Cadmus' work removed due to salacious depiction of sailors?

Bernard Goldberg A strikingly American version of Modernism, Paul Cadmus’s painting “Venus and Adonis” (1936) riffs on a Rubens canvas from the 1630s depicting the same subject. Exhibited in several museums, this is a relatively tame piece by Cadmus, whose work was removed from the Corcoran Gallery in Washington in the 1930s at the request of the United States Navy because of its salacious depiction of sailors. (Cadmus was one of the first publicly gay artists.) Mazzoleni The surge of interest in masters of Italian Modernism is reflected at Mazzoleni, which is showing works by Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana and Michelangelo Pistoletto. A diminutive 1966 red plastic work by Burri, made by taking a blowtorch to plastic, is like a miniature version of what is on view in the Burri show at the Guggenheim Museum. Several canvases with Fontana’s signature slashes are joined by a recent Pistoletto mirror work that includes a flat image of a man on a telephone.

Question: Which German manufacturer had Red Bull directors talked to about getting a new engine for their cars?

The other teams fear that with a better engine, the Red Bull aerodynamics guru, Adrian Newey, who has been responsible for designing many of the championship-winning cars of the last two decades — at Red Bull and previously at Williams and McLaren — would trump them again. The ongoing saga began to unfold in July, when Red Bull, dissatisfied with its Renault engine’s inferior power in the new downsized, hybrid, turbo formula, said it would drop its Renault engine a year before the end of their contract. The French manufacturer had powered Red Bull to all of its championships successes. But it had long felt that it had not received enough credit for those victories, and so when it was jilted by Red Bull, it was loath to help Red Bull find a replacement engine. At the same time, Renault had moved on to a new project that involved possibly buying the Lotus team and returning to the series as a full-fledged car and engine manufacturer. Red Bull, meanwhile, had announced that it was dropping the Renault engine after it had entered into what it considered was an agreement to use the best engine of the new era, made by Mercedes. But Mercedes later said that there was no agreement. Mercedes had indeed spoken to Red Bull directors, the German manufacturer claimed, but any possibility of a deal fell apart because the directors had overlooked some important negotiating points. One of those points involved the eventuality that with a Mercedes engine Red Bull might beat the Mercedes team and therefore Mercedes could benefit, rather than suffer, from the situation through marketing. “We wanted to know from Red Bull about shared ideas and marketing campaigns we could develop for a common future,” said Toto Wolff, the Mercedes motorsport director. “But nothing came out of it. And so the issue was taken care of from our side.” Finding itself with no Renault or Mercedes engine, the Red Bull team turned to Ferrari. But Red Bull wanted to have exactly the same engine that the Ferrari team uses. After starting poorly last season, the Italian manufacturer’s engine has improved this year to the point of being the second-best in the series.

Question: Where did Mr. Canby defend the movie against critics?

The gadgetry “I have a particular fondness for the look of the interior of a gigantic satellite called the Death Star, a place full of the kind of waste space one finds today only in old Fifth Avenue mansions and public libraries.” A week later, Mr. Canby took to his Sunday column to defend against a charge by some critics that movies like “Star Wars,” a “gigantic comic strip of a sci-fi movie,” were “the seminal works of a new age of Non-Think, an anti-intellectual reaction to the plays and films that go out of their way to insult, shock, provoke and disturb, that question everything, including the system that allows the artist to express his outrage.”

Question: What can one person's perception be easily woven into?

“It isn’t him, though,” I said gently. “I was mistaken.” I immediately regretted saying anything. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. She nestled into me, her head still turned in his direction. I longed to give her the world. The man packed up his minivan and drove off, and my alternate reality went right along with him. We climbed into the car and I pulled out. All the talks my daughter and I had had over the years about her father’s absence swirled around us, filling the car like plumes of smoke from a freshly lit fire. I had always chosen my words carefully, conscious that one person’s perception can so easily be woven into another person’s foundation, forever obscuring an impartial truth.

Question: What borough is Mr. Bharara the U.S. attorney for?

David Ganek, a Manhattan socialite and art collector whose $4 billion Level Global was one of the funds raided, sued Mr. Bharara on Thursday, claiming that the government violated his constitutional rights by fabricating accusations against him. The lawsuit against Mr. Bharara, the United States attorney in Manhattan, also named as defendants the federal prosecutors and F.B.I. agents who orchestrated the raid. While legal experts said Mr. Ganek’s lawsuit could be a long shot, it comes at a time when Mr. Bharara’s image as an invincible prosecutor — racking up convictions on Wall Street and setting his sights on Albany’s power brokers — is beginning to fray. Mr. Bharara’s crackdown on Wall Street, for one, is facing judicial challenges. Recently, a federal appeals court ruling overturned the convictions of two hedge fund traders, including Anthony Chiasson, Mr. Ganek’s partner at Level Global. And Sheldon Silver, the state assembly speaker whom Mr. Bharara recently indicted, has complained that the prosecutor’s office is fighting his case in the news media.

Question: What two weapons was used to break down a door?

For a moment, he twirled the rope in his hands like a lasso, then threw the hook over the wire, and tugged hard, testing for explosives. When nothing happened he signaled two comrades, who ran up and started snipping the wire with cutters. Although this was a typical training exercise for raw recruits in an elemental soldierly skill, there was nothing typical about the scene. Far from enlistees, these soldiers were regulars in the Ukrainian National Guard, presumably battle-hardened after months on the front lines in eastern Ukraine. And the trainer was an American military instructor, drilling troops for battle with the United States’ former Cold War foe, Russia, and Russian-backed separatists. “It’s been a long time since I heard a target called an Ivan,” First Sgt. David Dzwik, one of the trainers, said in an interview out in the sunny forest, while observing the Ukrainians run through drills. “Now, I’m hearing it again.” The course on cutting wire is one of 63 classes of remedial military instruction being provided by 300 United States Army trainers in three consecutive two-month courses. Here in western Ukraine, they are far from the fighting, and their job is to instill some basic military know-how in Ukrainian soldiers, who the trainers have discovered are woefully unprepared. The largely unschooled troops are learning such basic skills as how to use an encrypted walkie-talkie; how to break open a door with a sledgehammer and a crowbar; and how to drag a wounded colleague across a field while holding a rifle at the ready. When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

When the war began a year ago, the Ukrainian Army was all but worthless — rife with corruption and Russian spies, and made up largely of “skeleton” battalions of officers with just a few men. About 1 percent of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade.

Question: What nationality is the cruise director?

We’ll never know what the first three days on the Beautiful Dreamer were like, but when Sarah Lotz’s satirical scream of a novel, DAY FOUR (Little, Brown, $26), opens, the cruise ship is figuratively dead on course for the Bermuda Triangle. A fire has broken out in the engine room, and the chief engineer is too badly burned to stay at his post. For some mysterious reason, the ship’s S O S messages have gone unanswered, and by Day 5, the ship has lost all power, and a raging norovirus is taking its toll on the passengers. And what an unlovely group they are: the happy-slappy Australian cruise director; two friends who have made a suicide pact; a “sick, manipulative con artist” who develops true psychic abilities; and assorted ghosts. Oh, and a killer named Gary. If this tub ever makes it back to Miami, sign me up for the next cruise.

Question: What might galvanize Mr. Maduro's base?

Mr. Maduro’s theatrics came as antigovernment demonstrators took to the streets in the western city of San Cristóbal to denounce the death of a 14-year-old who was fatally shot last week during a protest. Vilifying Americans during a time of growing unrest and a deepening economic crisis might galvanize his base in the short term, but over the long haul it can only damage his government. And history is likely to record it as yet another self-inflicted wound by a leader whose relatively short time in power has been characterized by impulsive, erratic and vengeful behavior.

Question: Where is Intel based?

Now, the new hot trend of cloud computing — data centers filled with tightly connected servers — is remaking Intel. On Tuesday, Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., said that in the three months that ended Sept. 26, PC chips brought in $8.5 billion and chips for servers in cloud computing data centers brought in $4.1 billion. A year ago, PC chips brought in $9.2 billion and data center chips brought in $3.7 billion. The shifting businesses at Intel reflect broader changes in the computing industry, and what Intel chooses to focus on can affect the choices of many other companies.

Question: What kind of pie does Hicklin serve in the bookstore?

Hicklin plans to man the store himself on weekends, offering up mince pies and cups of tea (including a rooibos blend called “Little Dickens” from the Brooklyn-based purveyor Bellocq, as well as Yorkshire Gold from his native England). He admitted that the project has required him to play “literary investigator,” doggedly tracking down a few quirky or elusive volumes. “Raymond Pettibon, for example, his list is crazy,” Hicklin noted with admiration. “Like, seventeenth-century treatises on urn burial. Where else would you find this?” The artist Ryan McGinley, for his part, included a beautiful 1960 illustrated children’s book called “About Caves,” and the director John Waters named out-of-print treasures such as Philip Hoare’s “Serious Pleasures: The Life of Stephen Tennant.”

Question: Why did Newberg feel consideration for others as being unfair?

But the Southern Tier is not the only area with impoverished communities hoping that a casino, or any other initiative, would spur a reversal of fortunes. Some of them are now demanding equal treatment with the Southern Tier. Judith L. Kennedy, the mayor of Newburgh, 70 miles north of New York City, sent a letter on Tuesday expressing “strenuous objections” that her onetime industrial city had been excluded from consideration for a fourth casino license. The unemployment rate in Newburgh is 8.5 percent, a good deal higher than the Southern Tier. “We ask for a fair process that includes Newburgh where all proposals can be analyzed and vetted on the merits,” the letter said. The developers behind a proposed $640 million casino project on the grounds of the now-defunct Nevele resort in the Catskills also asked for equal consideration for the fourth license, which they say is the “last chance for Ellenville and for the iconic resort.” The developer told the Gaming Commission that it was negotiating with a strong company, RatPac Entertainment — a joint venture of Brett Ratner, a Hollywood producer, and James Packer, an Australian billionaire and casino operator — to take over the project.

Question: In what academic journal was the poetry published?

“It seemed that going over poetry with her and singing songs with her was a tremendous way to interact with her,” he recalled. “When we did that, she acted decades younger than she was otherwise.” Convinced that poetry could be therapeutic, he asked the Sarah Neuman Center, the Westchester County campus of a sprawling nonprofit, Jewish Home Lifecare, based near his home in New Rochelle, to let him give readings, and the administration agreed. This year, he felt confident enough about his experience to write about it in The Journal of Poetry Therapy, in an article titled “A Poetry Program for the Very Elderly — Narrative Perspective on One Therapeutic Model.” In it, he argues that without intending to do so, he has developed a curriculum for others to follow.

Question: Which Department did Mr. Auliffe and Mr. Rodham contact in order to issue complaints about visa issues?

As Mrs. Clinton began her 2016 campaign for the presidency, Hugh Rodham and Roger Clinton had faded from public view, but Tony Rodham emerged as a controversial figure. A government investigation in March found that GreenTech, which sought green cards for its Chinese investors through an American government program, had received special treatment in the handling of its visa applications. The report described instances when Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Rodham contacted an official from the Department of Homeland Security to complain about the pace of the visa process.

Question: Who makes the dressing?

For the dressing, which Baumgart builds out of what he calls ‘‘a deconstructed za’atar,’’ the Middle Eastern spice blend, some confidence is required. What seems an enormous amount of dried spices — ground fennel, sumac and coriander — is combined with chopped parsley and cilantro. The result looks dry and grainy, as if something is wrong. But olive oil, lime juice and white-wine vinegar (best available, please!) begin to smooth things out, and the cheese, pistachios and vinegar-plumped currants finish the job. ‘‘Let it sit for a while,’’ Baumgart advised. ‘‘Let those flavors come together.’’

Question: what does the Deste Prize recognize?

In a separate attraction, NEON is partnering with London’s Whitechapel Gallery to bring together 25 Greek and foreign artists to explore myth, drama, metamorphoses and bioethics through outdoor art projects at the École Française d’Athènes until July 26. Other contemporary and historic mash-ups include displays of the finalists for the Deste Prize, which recognizes young Greek artists, at the Museum of Cycladic Art, and the former Sonic Youth frontwoman Kim Gordon’s multiplatform show of paintings and sculpture at the historic Benaki Museum until Aug. 30. Many of these attractions will fill a vacuum left by the absence of the National Museum of Contemporary Art, which has spent more than a decade in a period of restoration and flux but is not scheduled to reopen until the end of the year.

Question: How old was the author when she escaped North Korea?

Mr. Shin has been examined by doctors who believe he was subjected to torture and child labor, given the evidence of his scars and unnaturally bowed arms. We shouldn’t lose sight of that when discussing his lies. It’s easy to see how Mr. Shin was tempted to obscure the truth. For defectors, sometimes doing so is the only way to survive. My own story starts with my escape in 1997, when I was 17. I did not crawl through a tunnel or over an electrified-wire fence, nor was I spirited in disguise across the demilitarized zone. I lived near the border with China, and one night I simply left home and walked across the iced-over river that separated the two countries. I was fortunate that my family had close relationships with some of the border guards, so I was able to cross without incident. At the time, I thought I would return home after a brief visit. I stayed in hiding for a while, learning Chinese. Eventually my Chinese became so fluent that I could pass for a local. Still, I was terrified of being captured or betrayed, so I created a false identity. Staying in China provided me with the opportunity to adjust to life outside of North Korea, and to gain a sense of perspective, most importantly, by learning that so much of what I had been taught about my country was a lie. In the early days, I considered going to South Korea, but I had internalized everything I had been told my whole life: South Korea was the enemy. I believed going there would be a betrayal of my country — and that my family might be punished as a result. Ultimately, I learned that I could go to South Korea by giving up my real identity, which would ensure my family back home would be safe. Once I got there, I faced the same challenges as the 27,000 other defectors who have now made it to the South. They struggle from a lack of education and job skills, discrimination, loneliness and emotional turmoil. Many drop out of school. Suicide rates are unusually high. Many defectors who fail to acclimatize even return to the North. We have no way of knowing how many have returned — and it’s unclear what eventually happens to them — but Pyongyang has started using these “double defectors” for its propaganda.
