Question: What is Jeb Bush's "family code" said to be?

But now, in an election cycle where the Republican Party’s grass-roots wing is angry and looking for a presidential candidate who projects a visceral sense of their frustration, some of Jeb Bush’s supporters say he may need to learn the fine art of negative campaigning. The Republican debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas provides Mr. Bush with a highly anticipated platform to forcefully take on his rivals. After faltering in a previous debate exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, Mr. Bush — perhaps more than anyone else onstage — might be compelled to prove he has the strength and passion not just to lead the nation, but to hold his own in the aggressive Colosseum of modern politics. That could be tricky for a man whose family code is one of polite gentility and even bipartisanship, not angry yelling and boorishness.

Question: What job was recently added to Jeb Bush's team to help with his campaign?

Mr. Bush’s campaign, meanwhile, said its candidate is an effective fighter, citing his conservative record as governor of Florida, where he was the “first governor to break the back of the teachers’ union.” “Jeb has taken on the big fights and won, he will do the same as president,” said Tim Miller, the campaign’s communications director. “He twice won hard-fought elections taking on the national Democrat Party in the nation’s largest swing state.” Recently, Mr. Bush has hired a media coach, and has become more willing to take on his rivals, particularly Mr. Trump, dismissing him as “not a serious leader” and “unhinged.”

Question: what position did kemba walker play?

“You would know just by his toughness and his moxie,” said Kemba Walker, a star point guard for the Charlotte Hornets who was born in the Bronx, gained national prominence at Rice High School in Harlem and led the University of Connecticut to an N.C.A.A. title in 2011. Brooklyn-born Chris Mullin, who played his high school ball in the city and was the N.C.A.A.’s player of the year for St. John’s in Queens in 1985 before becoming an N.B.A. All-Star, said he often watches college games and finds himself thinking a player is likely to be from his old stamping grounds based on the way he carries himself on the court.

Question: What did the report expose in regards to the board members?

The report also exposed disturbing practices by board members. The board conducts 60 to 70 percent of its meetings in closed-door executive session. It does not tolerate, and is overtly hostile to, the complaints of public school parents, students and community members. Public protests against the board are now commonplace. The report proposed the appointment of a state fiscal monitor, who would oversee all of the board’s financial and educational decisions and have the authority to override the board, when necessary, to protect the interests of the public-school community and improve education outcomes for public-school students. The report also recommended additional state funding to restore essential staff and services, but only if a monitor was in place to make certain the money was used effectively and efficiently to benefit all of the students. A bill in Albany — introduced in the Assembly by Ellen C. Jaffee and Kenneth P. Zebrowski and in the Senate by David Carlucci, who all represent parts of the school district — would implement a fiscal monitor for at least five years. It is a crucial step toward reversing the district’s disastrous decline and repairing the deep rifts in the community. The New York State School Boards Association has found that the measure “respects the democratic electoral process by leaving the elected board of education in place.” The bill would not go as far as the Legislature went in 2002, when the school district in Roosevelt, on Long Island, was put under state control because of poor management. It is similar to what occurred in Lakewood, N.J., a district with circumstances similar to East Ramapo’s. In recent weeks, in response to a lobbying campaign by the school board, momentum for the bill appears to have slowed. Advocates for the local school board and some leaders in the Orthodox community have accused supporters of state oversight of having anti-Semitic motives.

Question: What did President Hollande state the attacks were directed at?

The brutal terrorist attack on the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris on Wednesday has badly shaken France. But the French have reacted with a fierce determination to defend their freedoms. President François Hollande, speaking from outside the magazine’s office a couple of hours after the murder of 12 people, was crystal clear: This was an assault, he said, on “the expression of freedom” that is the “spirit of the republic.” Two heavily armed attackers, who apparently knew the magazine’s staff would be gathered around a table late on Wednesday morning for a weekly editorial meeting, forced themselves into Charlie Hebdo’s office and shot 10 people dead, including the top editor and prominent cartoonists. Two policemen were also killed. At least 11 other victims were wounded. The gunmen then fled with a third accomplice in a waiting car. One of the three later surrendered to police, but the other two, who are brothers, remain at large.

Question: What was the first model year that the Passat was available with a chemical emission system?

Beginning with the 2013 model year, cars like the Passat were equipped with a system that uses the chemical urea to neutralize nitrogen oxide emissions and is considered effective when properly configured. Those vehicles may be easier to repair. Volkswagen did not sell any engines smaller than 2 liters in the United States, though a small number of cars with 1.6-liter motors may have been imported from Mexico or other countries. Representatives of Volkswagen and its Audi division have been in talks with the Environmental Protection Agency about how to make cars in the United States compliant.

Question: What does Islam teach those to care about?

KARACHI, Pakistan — I worry about Muslims. Islam teaches me to care about all human beings, and animals too, but life is short and I can’t even find enough time to worry about all the Muslims. I don’t worry too much about the Muslims who face racial slurs in Europe and America, the ones who are suspected of harboring murderous thoughts at their workplaces or those who are picked out of immigration queues and asked awkward questions about their luggage and their ancestors. I tell myself that at the end of their humiliating journeys they can expect privileges like running water, electricity and tainted promises of equality.

Question: Who did Russian's invaded last year in unmarked unmarked unifrom?

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What was the body of the 300 SLR made of?

It was a brilliant, sunny Saturday, June 11, 1955, and more than 200,000 spectators had showed up in Le Mans for the 24-hour race that was featuring many of the greatest Formula One drivers and endurance racers of the era. There were stars like Juan Manuel Fangio, Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins, and lesser-known drivers like Paul Frère and Olivier Gendebien. It was a great year for the cars, as well, brands like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Jaguar and Porsche. But the attraction of the race that year was to be the return of Mercedes-Benz, which had won the event in 1952, but had then been absent in 1953 and 1954. Its 300 SLR was a prototype based on its winning Formula One car. Its star drivers were Moss and Fangio, sharing the No.19 car. There were two other Mercedes cars, one driven by Karl Kling and André Simon, the other by John Fitch and Pierre Levegh. The new Mercedes were exciting to watch. To compensate for their conventional drum brakes, they had a so-called air brake, which looked like the rear trunk of the car opening up to use an aerodynamic drag effect to powerfully brake the car. The body of the 300 SLR was made of an ultralight magnesium alloy called Elektron.

Question: Who did Dr. Shatz write a letter to?

Nobody knows how many people read the December 1964 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, but apparently only one, Dr. Irwin Schatz, was so appalled by one of its articles, about a syphilis experiment using uneducated black men in Tuskegee, Ala., that he wrote the study’s author to protest. “I couldn’t believe what I had read,” Dr. Schatz, who died on April 1, wrote in an email in 2013 to Civil Beat, an online newsletter in Hawaii, where he had moved to teach. “But the message was unmistakable.”

Question: What team did Mattingly become a coach for after retiring as a player?

After retiring as a player, Mattingly was successful as a coach for the Yankees. In 2004, when he was the hitting coach, the team belted 242 homers, the most of any Yankee team in history. Now, of course, he’s the manager of the Dodgers, which strikes me as ridiculous — wrong shade of blue. After Joe Torre stepped down as manager of the Yankees, I favored Mattingly over Joe Girardi to replace him. Girardi is like the new stadium — he’s fine, spiffy, a good face for the organization. But not for the fans who saw Mattingly in his prime.

Question: What supposedly offensive team nickname is mentioned?

While the Giants are methodical, embracing change with the speed of a glacier, Snyder has presided over change after change in futile pursuit of buying, leasing or renting a championship. So far, that effort has seen him burn through eight head coaches and more than a dozen starting quarterbacks. The only thing Snyder has not changed — and the one thing he should — is his team’s offensive nickname. “Redskins” has become a weight that hangs around the franchise’s neck like a yoke. More critically, on Snyder’s watch, Washington has seemingly ruined quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Question: As part of the Petrobras investigation, police targeted the owner of which establishment?

“You needed a lot of improbable factors aligned for this case to begin,” Mr. Dallagnol said, sitting at a conference table one afternoon. “It was like the gods giving us a window of opportunity.” In 2012, the federal police were conducting a money-laundering investigation, which included surveillance of the owner of the Tower Gas Station. (This undistinguished institution once housed a carwash, since closed, which gave the investigation its name.) An officer on a wiretapped conversation realized that he was listening to Alberto Youssef. “Youssef had been a pilot for many years, and the cop was once an air traffic controller,” said Mr. Reinaldet, Mr. Youssef’s lawyer. “And the cop, he said to himself, ‘I know this guy.’ Pretty soon, they were tapping Youssef’s cellphone.”

An officer on a wiretapped conversation realized that he was listening to Alberto Youssef. “Youssef had been a pilot for many years, and the cop was once an air traffic controller,” said Mr. Reinaldet, Mr. Youssef’s lawyer. “And the cop, he said to himself, ‘I know this guy.’ Pretty soon, they were tapping Youssef’s cellphone.”

Question: what did Phyllis Levin compare woman to?

In 1960, The New York Times published an article with a headline that read, “Road From Sophocles to Spock Is Often a Bumpy One.” It reported on “the problem,” as the president of Barnard College put it, of the educated housewife: her anxiety, frustration and claustrophobia. Phyllis Levin, its author, likened her subjects to “a two-headed schizophrenic” who “used to talk about whether music was frozen architecture, now she talks over frozen food plans.” Noting that the right to vote had been won in 1920, Ms. Levin pointed out that “the modern woman” was only 40 years old, and lamented her descent from the ivory tower of academia to “push-button kitchens, supermarkets and finished basements.” Ms. Levin said recently that she had forgotten the furor her article and others raised (Betty Friedan noted her piece in “The Feminine Mystique”) but does remember being asked to do a book, a proposal she turned down, she said, “because I didn’t have a solution to the problem.”

Question: What are aiming to stop the federal policies?

President Obama has already started to grapple with that change. Under orders from the White House, the Bureau of Reclamation has begun studies on the impact of global warming on 22 Western water basins and is drawing up multidecade plans to begin rebuilding its Western water management systems. But a new water infrastructure across half of the United States could cost taxpayers billions of dollars — at a moment when Republicans are still focused on cutting taxes and lowering government spending. In Congress, the Republican majority has targeted climate change research as well as federal policies intended to stop climate change.

Question: What was the firm accused of on social media?

Although the Shanghai composite index has risen less than 3 percent so far this year, the Zexi No. 1 Fund, which works with a subsidiary of the state-owned conglomerate China Resources, gained 323 percent through Friday; it has risen 3,270 percent since its inception in 2010. The Zexi No. 3 Fund has gained 382 percent this year and 3,945 percent since 2010, according to figures on the company’s website, which were obtained before it was taken down late Monday morning. The firm’s performance was the subject of intense market speculation in September, when a post on social media accused the company of manipulation. It focused on an unprofitable clothing retailer that reached a market high this summer despite the market volatility.

Question: What kind of deli shouldnt be required to cater events for the Nation of Islam?

I think they should be able to decline service for various reasons, religious scruples included. A liberal printer shouldn’t be forced to print tracts for a right-wing cause. A Jewish deli shouldn’t be required to cater events for the Nation of Islam. But those are issues of belief, not identity. Denying service to gays is like denying service to blacks under Jim Crow.

Question: What is the real name of Cookie?

Cookie’s celebration of her son’s victory ends abruptly when Lucious’s sneer informs the after-party that her sister Candice is outside the club. Through her (according to Cookie) practiced hysteria about their third sister’s alleged drug bender, we learn from Candice that Cookie’s real name is Loretha. Cookie hadn’t been born a Lyon — a flashback intimates that neither had Lucious, likely taking the name as an child abandoned on the street — and up until now, her lineage outside of Lucious hadn’t been much referenced, leaving the show’s relatively clueless audience hungry to know how Cookie came to be.

Question: Mr. Lee states it is easier to ___________, than head of a studio.

“This industry is so far behind sports, it’s ridiculous,” Mr. Lee continued. “It’s easier to be president of the United States as a black person than be head of a studio. Honest.” And so it went, as the film academy — stung by fierce criticism of its failure to nominate any black actors or directors in the last round of Oscar voting — used its annual Governors Awards to face its diversity issues head on. As the evening began, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the Academy’s president, set the tone with a speech about inclusiveness, and the disclosure of a five-year plan, called “A2020,” to broaden the demographics of the group’s membership, staff and governing board.

Question: What quandary is the United States looking for an answer too?

The origins of the Nazi dictatorship are to be found in the authoritarian legacy of the German Empire, the inability to cope with the defeat in World War I and the failure to achieve political compromise during the Weimar Republic. When it comes to explaining the Holocaust, Germans inquire about the place of anti-Semitism and xenophobia in their society and about the psychological and cultural factors that led ordinary citizens to participate in, or to accept, horrific atrocities. They understand their own history well enough to avoid being distracted by demagogy about gun control. If the United States is going to arrive at a workable compromise solution to its gun problem, it will not be accomplished through the use of historical analogies that are false, silly and insulting. Similarly, coming to terms with a civilizational breach of the magnitude of the Holocaust requires a serious encounter with history, rather than political sloganeering that exploits history as a prop for mobilizing one’s base.

Question: Which company made a statement?

WOLFSBURG, Germany —  Volkswagen said on Wednesday that it would be able to bring its diesel cars into line with European clean-air standards by updating engine software and installing a small, tube-shaped part roughly the same diameter as the cardboard tube in a roll of paper towels. The technical patch that Volkswagen presented at company headquarters here is valid only for Europe, where it will be installed beginning next year. Modifying Volkswagen diesel cars sold in the United States will be more complicated because of stricter rules on emissions of nitrogen oxides, pollutants harmful to the environment and human health.

Question: From whom did we hear the most views about the Vietnam War?

The great achievement of “The Sympathizer” is that it gives the Vietnamese a voice and demands that we pay attention. Until now, it’s been largely a one-sided conversation — or at least that’s how it seems in American popular culture. As the narrator explains, “this was the first war where the losers would write history instead of the victors,” and so it is that we’ve heard about the Vietnam War mostly from the point of view of American soldiers, American politicians and American journalists. We’ve never had a story quite like this one before. Mr. Nguyen, who teaches English and American studies at the University of Southern California, was born in Vietnam but raised in the United States. He is the author of an academic book, “Race and Resistance.” How exciting that he also writes fiction, because he has a great deal to say and a knowing, playful, deeply intelligent voice. His novel is a spy thriller, a philosophical exploration, a coming-of-age tale, the story of what it’s like to be an immigrant, to be part-Asian, to be the illegitimate child of a forbidden liaison. It’s about being forced to hide yourself under so many layers that you’re not sure who you are. The story is framed as a confession addressed to a figure called the Commandant, who, it gradually becomes clear, is keeping the captain prisoner in some unknown location. (We won’t learn where or why until the book’s shattering conclusion.) But the captain’s account is less an appeal for absolution than an attempt to explain what he did and the reasons behind it. It also allows him to be, as he says, an anthropologist of Vietnamese and American culture. The story flits around, intermingling past and present, scenes from childhood with scenes from pre-fall Saigon with scenes from contemporary America, conversations spilling together, so it’s necessary to read carefully to orient yourself. The tone is set in the very first sentence. “I am a spy, a sleeper, a spook, a man of two faces,” the narrator confesses. “I am also a man of two minds.” That’s a point Mr. Nguyen will return to over and over again — the blessing and the curse of finding subtlety where others see certainty. As children, the narrator and two other boys, Bon and Man, swore blood brotherhood and have remained fierce friends. Bon is pro-American, a veteran of the C.I.A.-sponsored Phoenix program of assassination; he leaves Saigon with the narrator on that plane. Man is a Communist and the narrator’s handler; he stays behind. Once in Los Angeles, the narrator takes a job with his former university professor and begins a sensual affair with an older Japanese-American woman. Students of Graham Greene, whose spare, precise writing contrasts with Mr. Nguyen’s exuberant, expansive and sometimes repetitious style, will recognize in her one of Mr. Nguyen’s many sly ripostes to and upendings of “The Quiet American,” the subject of the narrator’s thesis. While the love interest in that book is an annoyingly passive cipher, the narrator’s girlfriend is a free-love feminist with trenchant views on Asian stereotyping.

Question: What organization does Scott Albrecht work for?

Law enforcement officials hope that information gathered from Mr. Tian will provide a window into the drug’s hazy international underworld, where manufacturers readily tweak chemicals used to make spice and other so-called designer drugs, staying one step ahead of federal regulators scrambling to identify and outlaw them. “There’s an illusion of legality,” said Scott Albrecht, a special agent in the D.E.A.’s Milwaukee district office, who supervised the investigation of Mr. Tian after the agents linked him to packages shipped to an address here. “We make one thing illegal, and they just move on to the next one.”

Question: What was the nickname for the tubs in Cove Haven's bathrooms?

Mr. Wilkins, who died at 90 on Monday in Las Vegas, tried but failed to patent his tub, which meant it could proliferate with abandon. It became a fixture of hotel love nests everywhere. (He was, however, granted Patent No. D294290 in 1988 for a tub shaped like a champagne glass, which also became popular at Cove Haven.) In 1971, in a two-page photo spread complete with a smooching couple, Life magazine gushed about the bubble-brimming, red-tiled “sweetheart tub” in Cove Haven’s mirrored bathrooms. “A surfeit of affluent vulgarity,” the magazine said, apparently good-humoredly.

Question: What did Toby Gad think of Madonna?

But Madonna insisted on collaborating in what she called her “old-fashioned” way — not handing off tracks to be polished for later approval, but shaping them in person. “I never leave the room,” she said. “Sometimes I think that makes them mad. Like, ‘Don’t you have to go to the bathroom? Don’t you have somewhere to go? Don’t you want to go make some calls?’ ” Toby Gad, a producer who has also written with Beyoncé, worked on 14 songs with Madonna; seven, including “Joan of Arc” and “Living for Love,” reached the album. “The first week she was quite intimidating,” he said. “It was like a test phase. You have to criticize, but you can’t really offend. But she also likes honest, harsh critics to say things as they are. It worked out really well and she got sweeter and sweeter.”

Question: Which cars are suppose to have autopilot by this summer?

AUTOMAKERS descended on New York for the city’s annual auto show this week with vehicles ready to do more than just respond to drivers’ commands. However, the question of whether drivers want their cars to take charge remained unanswered. The path to fully autonomous driving will still take years to reach consumers, but car manufacturers demonstrated this week that they are now able to offer buyers several levels of so-called active safety features — in which the car takes over driving in certain instances. And they plan to introduce even more advanced semiautonomous capabilities in the coming months. Tesla Motors made a splash when it recently announced plans to add automated highway driving features, which it calls autopilot, to its Model S sedans by the summer. But such capabilities are coming to a range of vehicles sooner than many realize.

Question: what Nationalist organization was banned in russia

Sergei Aksyonov, the prime minister of Crimea appointed by Russia, said Monday that the blockade would have little effect, as only about 5 percent of the goods consumed in Crimea came through Ukraine. “The trade blockade of Crimea begun by Ukrainian activists with the support of a number of Kiev politicians will not affect food supplies in the region,” he told the Russian state-run Rossiya 24 satellite television channel. “Crimea will not notice this.” Most Russian goods are transported by large ferries across the Sea of Azov and through the Kerch Strait, but bad weather can halt service despite significant improvements during the last year. Russian television focused much of its attention on the fact that roadblocks were being manned with the help of members of Right Sector, a Ukrainian nationalist organization banned in Russia, where the news media frequently portray it as neo-fascist.

Question: What would illegal documents not need to qualify for the health coverage?

The Senate on Tuesday approved legislation that would make California the first state to extend health coverage to children who are in the country illegally and seek federal authorization to sell private insurance to immigrants without documentation. The bill would allow children under 19 from low-income families to qualify for state-funded Medi-Cal, regardless of their legal status. It would seek a federal waiver for California to sell unsubsidized private insurance through the state’s health exchange. The bill goes to the Assembly. Gov. Jerry Brown has not said whether he would sign it.

Question: What office does Benjamin Netanyahu hold?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech was a fascinating demonstration of political savvy — Israeli political savvy. Here he was in the center of the democratic universe with the guts to tell the United States that it was making a bad deal. To his political base at home, this must have looked heroic. At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber, since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak.

Question: What is Ikea calling its catalog?

Mr. Siegel added that Patagonia had begun printing on 100 percent recycled paper. “We had to make some trade-offs in terms of circulation and other expenses, but it brought the mode of communication in line with our values,” he said. Across segments, retailers are seeking to make their catalogs more of an experience, and celebrating print as something retro. Ikea recently produced a humorous advertisement for its catalog. “It’s not a digital book, or an e-book,” the ad says. “It’s a ‘bookbook.’ The 2015 Ikea catalog comes fully charged, and the battery life is eternal.”

Question: how is the mustang in the statue depicted?

Question: How much did the Girl Scouts raise in a month?

“Help us raise back the $100,000 a donor asked us to return because we welcome transgender girls,” read the headline on the page, which included a video about the Girl Scouts’ commitment to inclusivity. In a little over five hours, Ms. Ferland says, the site had already received over $100,000 in donations. By the end of that first day, the number was up to $243,958 from 4,760 donors. By the time the fund-raising effort was concluded a month later, the organization had raised $365,573. It was a victory for the Girl Scouts and a lesson for the philanthropic community. “The lesson for the fund-raising community is that if you’re interested in accessing the L.G.B.T. market, your values have to be those of inclusiveness,” says Mickey MacIntyre of realChange Partners, a consultant for nonprofits, focusing on L.G.B.T. issues.

Question: Which part of the city is the area starting to resemble?

Among the early entries was the Marquand, from HFZ Capital Group, in partnership with Vornado Realty Trust, a prewar rental-turned-condo at 11 East 68th Street, with an average sales price of $4,400 per square foot, according to a spokeswoman for the project. Closings began in 2014, and only a $46.5 million penthouse remains to be sold. That the area might be starting to resemble other parts of Manhattan does not surprise Mr. Wolf, the architect, who believes neighborhood and status are a lot less important than before. Noting that clients in their 60s are moving downtown for the energy and clients in their 40s are moving uptown for the quiet, he said, “The boundaries have just broken down.”

Question: What does Mr. Fernandez's hair look like?

“They all come to the salon before going out,” Mr. Fernandéz said of his nearly 20 clients a night. His own balding hair closely cropped, Mr. Fernandéz said he started in a state-run barbershop but had creative differences with his partners. “Back then there was no styling and they wouldn’t even wash hair,” he remembered. “I wanted to be different.” His dream is to start a chain and help bring Cuban men’s style back to the glory days. “It’s like the ’50s in Havana,” Pavel Premdes, 26, said as he had his hair touched upward in a “Grease”-like wave. “Dorian is bringing it back.” As another client showed off a cellphone picture of his girlfriend in librarian glasses straddling a pool table, an assistant to Mr. Fernandéz stood under an elevated glass chamber that looks like the cockpit of a helicopter that had crashed into the salon. It is used for hair straightening.
