Question: About how many search results that Google handles are mobile?

Google has made several big changes. Companies will be docked for shortcomings like displaying links that are hard to click or forcing users to scroll horizontally on a lopsided site. In addition, the company recently announced that in certain cases it would also use information contained within apps as a ranking factor for mobile searches performed on phones that run its Android software. “Since mobile search results are about half of what Google handles, anyone might be at risk,” said Danny Sullivan, the founder of Search Engine Land, which closely tracks changes to Google’s search engine. The shift to mobile devices has been a challenge for all businesses, Google included. In the space of a few years, phones have become the dominant portal through which people use the Internet. The United States had 134 million mobile users last year, about 100 million more than in 2010, according to eMarketer, a research company.

Question: From who has the International Center for Law and Economics received funding?

“In the Microsoft case, if they’d just waited a while, the problems they thought they saw would have disappeared because technology, consumer behavior and the market demand changed enough to correct those problems,” said Geoffrey A. Manne, executive director of the International Center for Law and Economics, a policy research organization that has received funding from technology companies including, in the past, Google. In a 2013 law review article comparing the antitrust pursuit against Google to the Microsoft case, Mr. Manne was more succinct: “Microsoft’s market position was unassailable ... until it wasn’t.”

Question: What caused lobbying firm Fierce, Isakowitz and Blalock to stop supporting Delta?

Delta has its own array of lobbyists, including a former top aide of Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, and Steve Elmendorf, a former top Democratic aide in the House and one of Washington’s pre-eminent schmoozers. The Republican lobbying firm Fierce, Isakowitz and Blalock was all-in for Delta until one of its chiefs, Mark Isakowitz, joined the staff of Senator Rob Portman, Republican of Ohio and a crucial vote on the issue. The renamed Fierce Government Relations soldiers on for Delta, with Kirk Blalock, a senior official in the George W. Bush White House, and Aleix Jarvis, a former aide to Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, leading the charge.

Question: What do Muslims not do "enough" of?

Whenever I hear someone say Islam is a religion of peace I want to yell at them and say, “Hey, look behind you.” It’s an impossible job, explaining Islam, whether you’re an observing Muslim (no alcohol, no bacon, no jihad) or an accidental Muslim (a bit of everything, and surely no jihad) or somewhere in between. But if we can’t do the explaining, we’re told, the least we can do is some condemning. Muslims don’t condemn enough, apparently. Yet if as a good Muslim I started to condemn everything bad that is done by Muslims, I wouldn’t have any time left to say my five daily prayers, let alone make macaroni and cheese for my kids or take them to the park. And I’d become a worse kind of Muslim.

Question: Where was this happening?

Outside, shaking women wept into tissues. Stern men, rocking back and forth, blinked out tears. The grief was felt throughout the Orthodox neighborhoods of Brooklyn, and in Israel, where Ms. Sassoon had met her husband. Even as people failed to make sense of the seven deaths — the largest toll from a fire in New York City since 2007 — the mourners turned their thoughts to the mother who leapt out of her bedroom window and a sister who also somehow survived. “Mommy, Mommy, help me!” one neighbor heard Siporah cry as she stumbled outside.

Question: What did Sander's tell Clinton people were sick of hearing about?

The debate probably won’t change much in the polling. Hillary Rodham Clinton reminded us why she’s the front-runner, with her experience, command of the issues and strength in communicating ideas. She seemed both at ease and fearless. It helped that the candidates actually valued time to discuss issues. One of the biggest applause lines was Senator Bernie Sanders’s quip to Mrs. Clinton, “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” Supporters of Mr. Sanders embraced his passionate critiques, but his performance may not convert those skeptical of his ability to broaden his appeal.

Question: Where had Jamal and Cookie been meeting at night?

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.

Question: Who prepared the fluffy corn dough?

The guacamole is pulverized at the table in the traditional molcajete, the stone bowl with a pebbly surface that allows bits of jalapeño, onion and other ingredients to retain texture and, some chefs think, more flavor. My favorite appetizers, however, were the tacos al pastor, three junior-size tacos filled with pungent cubes of pork that were well seasoned with dried chilies and achiote paste, a thick, spicy red sauce, and then roasted beneath a wedge of juicy pineapple. Cooked vertically in the manner of a gyro, the meat preparation for the dish was likely influenced by Lebanese immigrants who brought gyro-style lamb to Mexico. The surprise in the ensalada verde was peppery watercress. Served beside string beans, romaine lettuce and slices of buttery avocado, it lightened the effect of heavier dishes like the tacos al pastor and the tamales stuffed with chicken and red mole. The Oaxacan costeño chilies in the red mole imparted a tangy, citrus essence, but the lingering flavor from the stuffed tamales was that of masa, the fluffy corn dough prepared by Uzziel Arias’s mother and his Aunt Divina.

Question: What team Giancarlo Stanton from?

Outfielder Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins would be an obvious starter for the N.L., having won the league’s player of the month award for June with a .344 average and 12 home runs. But Stanton had surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand last Sunday and will miss several weeks. Likewise, Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera, who is hitting .350, is the clear choice at first base for the A.L., but he is expected to miss six weeks after sustaining a severe calf injury on Friday night.  Here is a list of the way the teams should look, with deserving (and healthy) starters listed first. Every team is represented, as the rules dictate, and each roster has the mandatory 34 players. The N.L. manager, Bruce Bochy, must pick a designated hitter from his reserves, so we did it for him. A few thoughts on the teams follow.

Question: What was the target inflation in the eurozone in November?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.

Question: Did they merge with another group?

Ms. Massenet’s Net-a-Porter has spent most of the past 15 years in the red, although it posted a 1.4 million pound profit on sales of 654 million pounds last year. Still, she has enviable industry contacts and a stellar individual reputation. The newly merged group may be easier to run with Yoox’s Mr. Marchetti as the single, clear leader. But Yoox may well miss Mr. Massenet’s input. Yoox also loses her just as online luxury is heating up. LVMH announced it is hiring Ian Rogers of Apple to head up its digital innovation. McKinsey research also shows the strongest growth in online luxury sales happening on the websites of individual luxury brands and leading department stores. For multibrand websites like Yoox Net-a-Porter, the trends are becoming more challenging.

Question: What is the name of the Speaker that is unexpected to be challenged by Mr. Silver?

Despite Mr. Silver’s legal troubles, several Democrats said the former speaker continued to be well liked by his colleagues, noting that some old-guard members had privately complained that the prosecution and news media coverage of the trial seemed overzealous. But even with such complaints, few expect Mr. Silver to challenge Speaker Heastie, in part because of Mr. Heastie’s success in navigating the transition of power. “There is certainly a large reservoir of affection and respect for Shelly,” one Democratic lawmaker said. “And there has been a similar growth of affection and respect and support for Carl.”

Question: How old is Germaine Greer?

LONDON —  Students at Cardiff University have begun an online petition trying to bar Germaine Greer, the Australian feminist author, from speaking there next month because of her views on transgender women. Ms. Greer’s views are well known, but the campaign to bar her from giving a lecture has raised the issue of academic censorship, and the university swiftly rejected the petition in the name of free speech. Ms. Greer, 76, who is best known for her best seller, “The Female Eunuch,” has prompted outrage and protests in the past because of her comments. In a column in 2009 she wrote that transgender women seem like ghastly parodies and that a transgender woman was essentially “a man’s delusion that he is female.” According to Varsity, Cambridge University’s student newspaper, she suggested in January that transgender women do not know what it is like to have a vagina.

In a column in 2009 she wrote that transgender women seem like ghastly parodies and that a transgender woman was essentially “a man’s delusion that he is female.” According to Varsity, Cambridge University’s student newspaper, she suggested in January that transgender women do not know what it is like to have a vagina.

Question: According to the author, what should we at whatever job we take on?

While I stood waiting for my mother’s shrimp, I watched all these people toiling away and I thought about what Mr. Jobs had said about the waitress from a few years earlier. Though his rudeness may have been uncalled-for, there was something to be said for the idea that we should do our best at whatever job we take on. This should be the case, not because someone else expects it. Rather, as I want to teach my son, we should do it because our jobs, no matter how seemingly small, can have a profound effect on someone else’s life; we just don’t often get to see how we’re touching them.

Question: What was the profession of Eva S. Moskowitz?

But Mr. Faulkner also acknowledged that his mayoral bid was very much a work in progress. The pastor said he had yet to speak with either of the city’s last two Republican mayors, Michael R. Bloomberg and Rudolph W. Giuliani, about his campaign. Queried about his ideas for affordable housing, Mr. Faulkner said he would have more specific policy proposals within a year. Although Republicans intend to back a strong candidate against Mr. de Blasio, the party does not have a deep bench. Speculation so far has focused on Raymond W. Kelly, who was the police commissioner under Mayor Bloomberg, and Eva S. Moskowitz, the charter school executive who was previously elected to office as a Democrat, but has clashed bitterly with Mr. de Blasio over education policy. Mr. Faulkner is a social conservative who has opposed abortion rights and same-sex marriage. (Asked about his views on same-sex marriage on Monday, Mr. Faulkner said that the mayor of New York City had no role in the issue.) Still, clad in a pinstriped suit with a blue ribbon pinned to his chest — to show support for the police, he said — Mr. Faulkner said he had the force of personality and the right philosophy of government to lead New York.

Question: What did Obama say may happen if one catches a disease before it gets worse?

There’s an oft-expressed view that getting all those people covered could actually save the health system money. The argument goes something like this: Once people have insurance, they’ll go to the doctor instead of an expensive emergency room. Or: Prevention costs far less than a serious illness down the road. In selling the Affordable Care Act, President Obama was fond of making these sorts of arguments. “There’s no reason we shouldn’t be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse,” he said, in his big 2009 address to Congress, urging passage of the bill. “That makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives.” The White House was careful to describe the overall financial forecast for the law — the administration said the law would slow spending growth and not reverse it. But it has also argued forcefully and repeatedly about the financial value of preventive care.

Question: When did the United Nations release its damning report?

After the United Nations came out with its damning report in February 2014, Pyongyang’s propaganda officials circulated a video featuring wild accusations against Mr. Shin. It alleged he raped a 13-year-old girl and featured an interview with his father in North Korea who said they had never lived in a “so-called political prison camp.” At least one defector from Camp 18 recognized Mr. Shin’s father as a fellow inmate, pressuring Mr. Shin to admit that his story didn’t hold together, leading to the retraction.

Question: What funding does the departments use to replace their aging fleet?

Fireboats have also responded to smoldering garbage barges, houseboat blazes and, a few years ago, a coal ship fire in Connecticut. Because the department used federal funding to replace much of its aging fleet, “that makes them regional assets,” said Chief Ferro. “It used to be like ‘The Flintstones,’” he said of the boats from the middle of the last century. “Now it’s like ‘The Jetsons.’” During the Brooklyn blaze, Chief Ferro said that in addition to dealing with heavy current, strong winds and shallow water, the pilot of the Firefighter II had to contend with the sheer force of the front cannon, known as a monitor, pushing the unanchored boat backward. “He did an amazing job,” the chief said.

Question: What does giving people health insurance allow for?

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.

Question: What did Harris say when people applauded Oyelowo's name?

This year, in addition to Ms. Arquette’s speech, the question of race in Hollywood was addressed with both humor — in his opening monologue, Mr. Harris made a barbed allusion to the lack of diversity among the Academy by saying, “Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest, sorry, brightest” — and emotion. The latter came at the hands of actors, musicians and others who wanted to express indignation that the director of “Selma,” Ava DuVernay, wasn’t nominated and neither was David Oyelowo, who played the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When the audience applauded Mr. Oyelowo, who participated in a bit with Mr. Harris, the host said with a smirk, “Oh sure, now you like him.”

Question: The food was still coming out even though, at the event, it was what late hour?

This being Italy, the pace was leisurely and the mood festive. Between furious rounds of auctioneering and a live set from Debbie Harry, the dinner’s main course was still coming out at midnight — and even the presence of Naomi Campbell at the podium to introduce the evening’s Award of Courage honoree, Renzo Rosso, the founder of Diesel and the chairman of Only the Brave, the parent company of Maison Margiela and Marni, didn’t cow conversationalists until she demanded testily, “Can you please be quiet? I’ll start again.” “I try to do my best to make a better world,” said Mr. Rosso, whose Only the Brave Foundation battles inequality and promotes sustainable development worldwide, in encouraging the crowd to follow his example. “The world needs more people like us. Spend more time to be positive.” The dinner portion wrapped up (or was it that the after-party began?) with a bouncy performance by Icona Pop, the Swedish electronic music duo. “We were first of all very honored to be part of such a great event,” said Caroline Hjelt, one of the pair. “We didn’t even think. We said yes, yes, yes.”

Question: What needs to be settled in the next few day?

Here is the plan for the next few days. Settle the Thanksgiving menu. (Our menu planner will help with that, and our guide to cooking the meal will answer any questions you have on how to execute it.) Pick up your turkey and set it in the refrigerator to thaw or keep. If you’re brining the bird, you can do that on Tuesday. There’s no need to start now. Go shopping: potatoes both white and sweet; squash; onions; bacon; cauliflower; apples; cranberries; a lot of unsalted butter; flour, both of the all-purpose variety (for pies) and of the finely milled sort (for gravy, because it doesn’t lump); cornmeal; eggs; a case of sparkling water; wine; bourbon; anything you’ll need that will keep for a few days in the pantry or fridge. You can lay in herbs and other perishables on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Question: Overtime what can make up for population stresses?

But there is not a consensus about the impact of demographics. Some see a natural maturing of developed societies. Others see disaster ahead, because with fewer workers and more retirees, the active work force faces an increased burden to sustain social programs. Productivity gains over time, though, can make up for such population stresses. Declining birthrates can also lead to labor shortages, and Germany has faced a gap in skilled labor. But that is hardly an issue now for much of Europe, which is mired in high unemployment.

Question: what entity filed suit to prevent the college from closing?

At first blush, Dr. Pai’s profile and career seem at odds with the stereotype that has long been affixed to midcentury graduates of Sweet Briar: as Southern belles (perhaps accompanied by their horses) polished to a high sheen for careers as wives, mothers and volunteers. Yet the Pink Bubble, as Sweet Briar women have long called their alma mater, has also nurtured generations of feisty professionals, many of them working in the sciences, who attended the school before the era of widespread coeducation at the college level. Since March, when the school’s board suddenly said it would close the college because of dwindling enrollment and strapped finances, a campaign to save it has pursued legal and other actions with increasing gusto and success; last month, the Commonwealth of Virginia sued to keep the college open. Last week, a judge ruled that, for a period of 60 days, the board could not close the school using funds solicited for its operation.. The campaign #Save Sweet Briar has raised $1 million, and another $10 million has been pledged. Against this backdrop, the experiences of Sweet Briar’s postwar graduates, who have been galvanized by the campaign and are reconnecting on Facebook, email and by phone, paint a vivid picture of an era marked by conflicting cultures: one that was still defined by hostess houses, white gloves and the “ring before spring” doctrine that cast women’s colleges as mere finishing schools, and one with a commitment to educating women for roles far from the home.

Question: Who is the lawyer representing Mr. Disisto?

Mr. Disisto has sued the Police Department and the city in federal court in Manhattan, charging he was the victim of a false arrest and malicious prosecution. “The officers attacked him and this is borne out entirely by the video evidence from the bar,” said David B. Rankin, a lawyer representing Mr. Disisto. “But for this video, Mr. Disisto likely would have been prosecuted.” The lawsuit also accuses the Police Department of having a “custom and practice” of making retaliatory arrests against people who photograph or videotape police activity. In legal papers, the city has denied that the Police Department has a policy or practice of retaliation for videotaping, said Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for the city’s Law Department.

Chitchat with Jane Fonda. An excited wave to Ed Ruscha.

Question: What has loosened?

With the rise of DVDs and streaming sources, audiences are consuming shows differently. They binge-watch and read recaps. And television conventions have loosened.

Question: What did not have the sweetness of cooked carrots?

The appetizers were more perplexing. As a lot, they looked more interesting than they were. Seared scallops got almost no assistance from a bright orange raw-carrot sauce. It didn’t have the sweetness of cooked carrots, which might have underlined the shellfish’s own sweetness. Maybe the chefs just like the color. This seemed to be the case with a salad of pink watermelon with green needles of okra. The flavors stayed stubbornly separate, the okra contributing only its interior sliminess. Inexplicably, the chefs also spurted a gray dribble of soaked basil seeds on the plate. It was a real goo party.

Question: Who is Carpe Diem's jockey?

J.D.: He twice finished a head behind my top choice, Dortmund, before winning the Sunland Derby in New Mexico. I’m hoping he is overlooked on Derby Day. M.H.: This speedy and improving colt showed in the Sunland that he could win with ease once free of his shadow. Of course, that will not be the case in the Derby.  4. Carpe Diem  Trainer: Todd Pletcher Jockey: John Velazquez Record: 5-4-1-0 Points: 164 Odds: 10-1 J.D.: Seemingly the only real threat from the East, this colt has won races without working up much of a sweat. He is going to like the Derby’s mile-and-a-quarter distance. M.H.: He has shown that he deserves to be in the conversation with Baffert’s big guns. Still, he did not pull away from the Blue Grass Stakes field as much as I expected; Dortmund looked more dominant that day in Santa Anita.

Question: A person in Woods galley said watching Woods made him feel

As his round unraveled, the greeting he received at each tee box grew louder and more prolonged. Fans repeatedly shouted, “Keep your head up, Tiger!” and “Keep fighting, Tiger!” By the final holes, Woods was getting a reception fit for the Olympic bobsledders from Jamaica or the female sprinters from Iraq. Gone is the golfer whose mere presence on the leaderboard Sunday seemed to send other contenders into a free fall. In his place is someone who looked frightfully familiar to the 20-handicappers in the stands. As one weekend duffer in Woods’s gallery mournfully noted, “Watching him makes me feel more normal.”

Question: Which two growing ethnic groups are important in winning presidential elections?

In less than 15 minutes, Mr. Bush managed to step on his message, to give Mr. Trump a boost and to offend Asian-Americans, a growing population that is every bit as important as Latinos in winning presidential elections. And he failed to give Latino voters any persuasive evidence that he had anything better to offer them than his opponents in a revoltingly xenophobic Republican campaign. It may be time to offer this forlorn candidate some free advice. Although if he really is the smarter Bush, he knows these things already:

Question: What has North Korea gained from double-defector propaganda?

Historically, the North’s propagandists vilified the South and its economy, but now that more Northerners know some of the truth through illegally smuggled South Korean television shows and other contraband, Pyongyang has redefined the difference in economies in relative terms: Though South Korea may be rich, any North Koreans foolish enough to chase Southern dreams will only find a life of hardship and poverty there. The double defectors play right into Pyongyang’s new narrative. Many of them are featured in scripted press conferences in which they claim to have encountered a life of misery in the South. The double-defector propaganda has also given the regime a defense against human rights criticism from abroad: If North Korea really is so  horrible, why do so many people keep returning? South Korea already provides a lot of support for defectors, including living expenses and a place to live. It also helps with our education and finding jobs. Despite this generous assistance, which some struggling South Koreans resent, we need more emotional support and ongoing counseling to help with the integration process.

Question: Who was Lundqvist's backup?

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: Who is the star player for the Cleveland Cavaliers?

“I thought my guy was taking a lot of hard hits, and I didn’t like it, and I was expressing my opinion,” he said. “And LeBron stepped in to sort of protect me in that situation, which is more than fine.” Star player, coach, assistant coach, medical expert. James even found time to impersonate a statistician during the game, approaching the officials during a first-quarter timeout and arguing that a 2-point basket credited to his teammate Kevin Love should have been a 3-pointer. After reviewing the play, the officials made the change. But Love did not make another 3, shot 3 for 11 from the field and, not for the first time, spent the fourth quarter on the bench.

Question: Catastrophes in what region caused misery in 2015?

The good earth was having a terrible year. The United States was torn by assassinations, violence in the cities, the war in Vietnam. Then came the astronauts’ words of solace, and the stunning photograph they took that day, of our planet rising, white and blue, over the ashen moon: so lustrous and lovely and, from a distance anyway, serene. Apollo 8 helped end the year on a note of hope and grace. Humanity being what it is, the world remains a place of suffering and calamity. In 2015, catastrophes in the Middle East spread misery and terror the world over. The United States was brutalized, as ever, by the tyranny of gunfire. Our coarsened politics, so expert at keeping the populace fearful and distraught, got ever louder and cruder in the heat of a presidential race. The strutting and fretting promise only to get worse in 2016.

Question: What does the Fed sell in the united states to push down market interests rates?

FRANKFURT — A strong indication on Friday that the European Central Bank is on the verge of aggressive action to stimulate the economy, just as the Federal Reserve is dialing back its stimulus, helped push the euro to its lowest level against the dollar since 2010. Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said in an interview published in the German newspaper Handelsblatt that the risk that the central bank would not be able to meet its main task of keeping inflation from being too low or too high was greater than it had been six months ago. At 0.3 percent in November, inflation in the eurozone was far below the central bank’s official target of close to 2 percent. Investors interpreted Mr. Draghi’s comments to mean that the central bank is moving closer to broad-based purchases of government bonds, the same kind of “quantitative easing” that the Fed used to push down market interest rates in the United States — and is phasing out as growth picks up.
