Question: When did Vanity Fair begin advertising?

96 YEARS AGO Prehistory — before the Kardashians and Caitlyn with a C, before even the naked and pregnant Demi Moore — Vanity Fair knew how to strike with an image. It boasted as much in advertisements published in The New York Times in 1919, during the magazine’s first heyday. “Vanity Fair prides itself on knowing every lovely, brilliant, or bizarre woman in the world and printing her photograph in its pages,” the ad copy read. This was “the magazine of leisure interests for men who know enough to have them,” or so its tagline declared in a series of wittily wordy ads that ran in The Times. The image that struck hardest in those early years was not a photograph of a “lovely, brilliant, or bizarre woman,” however. It was a cartoon that depicted Emperor Hirohito of Japan, and it was the subject of an international incident.

Question: Who was Slimane's former army compatriot?

Although astringent by mainstream movie standards, “Far From Men” is shored up with increasingly personalized conversations between Daru and Mohamed that explain the men, their lives and times. At one point, they come across a small detachment of Algerian guerrillas that includes Slimane (Djemel Barek), a former army compatriot of Daru’s, and which for a short, eventful interlude swallows the travelers up. Mr. Oelhoffen sometimes explains too much, but his work with the actors is precise and delicate. Both Mr. Kateb and Mr. Mortensen, who deliver their dialogue in Arabic and French (Mr. Mortensen also speaks a little Spanish), are generous performers and they share the screen easily. They’re playing nomads from separate histories and cultures who, in their radical isolation, turn out to be right at home.

Question: was erving from nassua county?

If you tried to define New York City basketball strictly by birthplace, you would include players like Michael Jordan, who was born in Brooklyn but grew up elsewhere. And you would exclude Julius Erving, who was born in Nassau County, next to but not part of the city, but who helped to enhance the New York style of play with his wizardry at the famous Rucker Park playground in Harlem before going on to star for the New York Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. So clearly there is more to the definition than an original address. And even if you can agree that a player should basically be considered a New York City athlete if he went to high school in one of the five boroughs, is there anything else that traditionally sets apart a New York City basketball player?

Question: What kind of race was Reims?

Q. What other differences do you see between then and now in Formula One? A. Before, I loved it that it happened on public roads. In Belgium, after the race, after the deaths, we drove around and to look for where it had happened, driving down to Malmedy and thinking about the war. I don’t know how you can make people understand the difference between a public road and a manufactured piste, manufactured corners, and escape roads in every direction and nothing to hit. Q. But Monza was always a track in a park. That hasn’t changed much. A. Yes, that never impressed me, I never liked it. I loved Belgium, I loved Germany, the setting, the fact that they were public roads. Reims was a road race, and you could imagine the Germans coming over in tanks but it was race cars going in the other direction. It wasn’t much of a circuit, it was only a triangle, very, very fast and there was a wrinkle here and there. It was part of the Champagne country and they gave Champagne for the fastest lap and things like that. It really was a French Grand Prix as opposed to another Grand Prix. Today nothing changes except the crowd.

Question: Why did David Makovsky think Mr. Obama might have felt the need to hype his case to the public?

David Makovsky of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said that even though the White House had been effective at privately engaging skeptics of the deal on its merits, Mr. Obama appeared to be “hyping” his case to the public, perhaps in an effort to match the incendiary language of his opponents. “These two sides are just playing off each other, and they’re just going to drive this debate off a cliff,” Mr. Makovsky said. “You come to expect a certain high road in political persuasion from this president, and if he feels that the critics are being unfair, call them on that, but don’t say, ‘I see your low road, and I’m going to double it.’ ”

Question: Who did Mr. Hall used to work for?

Let’s start with some background. For the last six years, Douglas Elmendorf has been the director of the C.B.O. By my judgment, he has done a remarkable job of shepherding the institution through times that have been both economically and politically difficult. (Full disclosure: Mr. Elmendorf is a friend and former student of mine, so I am not entirely objective. But many prominent policy wonks endorsed his reappointment.) Nonetheless, the new Republican leadership in Congress decided to appoint someone new to head the C.B.O. That decision is entirely understandable. Mr. Elmendorf has a long affiliation with Democrats, and the Republicans want someone who shares more of their perspective. As President Obama once said, elections have consequences. That includes the Republican sweep of 2014. So, on Friday, congressional leaders appointed Mr. Hall, a veteran of the Bush administration, to be the new head of the budget office.

Question: What title in the Senate Did Mitch McConnell hold at the time of the article?

WASHINGTON —  Barney Frank once told me that asking Republicans to govern was like asking him, the first openly gay member of Congress, to judge the Miss America contest: He would do it, but he wouldn’t enjoy it much or be very good at it. With control of the Senate up for grabs in 2016, Senate Republicans have spent the year trying to prove Mr. Frank wrong. And Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, believes they have been pretty good at it — particularly when measured against the vicious stalemate of the previous four years. “I think the Senate is functioning again and producing results,” Mr. McConnell said in an interview as he assessed 2015 and looked ahead to a challenging election cycle that could quickly end his control of the Senate agenda if the public disagrees with his take.

Question: Who is Chicago's mayor?

The other day I walked part of the 606, Chicago’s down-home twist on the chic High Line in New York: a 2.7-mile elevated park along a derelict freight track, wending east-west across a mix of industrial and residential areas. What I saw wasn’t sleek or even especially beautiful, with plantings that need time to grow, a little too much concrete and tall steel fencing. But it connects ground-level neighborhood parks and belongs to a larger, humanizing campaign by Chicago’s mayor, Rahm Emanuel, to green up gritty areas of the city. Young mothers push strollers; elderly couples walk arm in arm; joggers and speeding bicyclists hog the pathways. Rough, ready, community-friendly, the 606 speaks to Chicago’s heart.

Question: Who leads Iran's negotiations?

“They say new things in the negotiations,” Ayatollah Khamenei told the military graduates. “Regarding inspections, we have said that we will not let foreigners inspect any military center.” Like last summer, when he vowed that Iran would ultimately build an industrial-scale uranium enrichment capability — with 190,000 centrifuges, or 10 times the number now installed — the ayatollah’s comments are bound to cause deep complications for Iran’s negotiators, led by Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Question: Who shot the ball that goalkeeper Manuel Neuer saved?

Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Müller have been harder to stop than just about any other strikers in Europe this season, and Douglas Costa, Munich’s new Brazilian winger, has bamboozled many a defense with his combination of speed, sorcery and delivery. For much of Tuesday’s game, Bayern looked like what it is: The most attack-minded, fluent and controlling team in soccer. And when Arsenal did break through, about 30 minutes in, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was able to make a wonderful save as he dove low to his left to block a header by Theo Walcott from six yards out. Had Walcott’s header been more decisive, the keeper might never have reached the ball. But then again, had Lewandowski shot earlier than he did late in the second half, then Arsenal’s goalkeeper, Petr Cech, would not have been able to race from his line and make a bold interception with his legs.

Question: Why did Amanda Kessel end her career?

But Amanda Kessel, a leading scorer for the Americans in Sochi and the college player of the year in 2013, has not played since, ending her career at Minnesota at 23 because of lingering symptoms from a concussion sustained before the Olympics. Her teammate Josephine Pucci retired over the summer at 24, cognizant of her concussion history. A concussion kept Canada’s Haley Irwin out until the Olympic tournament’s semifinals. She assisted on the tying goal in the last minute of the final, but her symptoms returned after the Olympics. Another concussion, in January, has kept her from playing professionally in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League.

Question: What was Dr. Garcia'sage upon arriving at Miami?

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

Question: How much did PC chips bring in a year ago?

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: How much food is wasted in the United States from the commercial sector?

To the Editor: Re “Food Waste Is Becoming Serious Economic and Environmental Issue, Report Says” (news article, Feb. 26): You rightly highlight the effects of the loss of wholesome food and emissions of greenhouse gases from landfills. With 14 percent of American households not getting enough food to live active, healthy lifestyles, it is unforgivable to allow wasted food to rot in landfills. To address the 60 percent of wasted food in the United States coming from the commercial sector, the Environmental Protection Agency created the Food Recovery Challenge, which asks critical sectors, including grocers and entertainment venues, to reduce excess purchases and donate surplus food to local hunger relief organizations; more than 36,000 tons was donated in 2013. An astounding amount of wasted food also comes from individual consumers. A family of four wastes an estimated $1,600 worth of food each year. By making small changes in how you buy (like creating a shopping list to buy only what you need), prepare and store food, families can lower their grocery bills and reduce their impact on the environment.

Question: How many seats in the Parliament did the smaller parties win?

BANGKOK — Myanmar’s election commission on Friday announced the final tally of the country’s Nov. 8 landmark election, a rout by the opposition, led by the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Her party, the National League for Democracy, won 390 seats compared with 42 for the governing party, a state-run television station reported in its Friday evening broadcast. The remaining 59 available seats in Parliament were won by smaller parties. One-quarter of the seats were not contested and are controlled by the military.

Question: Will this only need to be done once?

But this is common behavior and awfully human. Criticizing others can trick us into feeling better about ourselves (for 35 seconds). My guess is that your pal is in emotional pain, and you probably have a better idea why than we do. None of this is your problem, Hailey. But isn’t it worth taking a crack at helping your longtime bestie? The next time she starts Judge Judy-ing, stop her. Say, “Take a breath.” Make her inhale and exhale. Then say (gently), “Is Heather’s boyfriend really bothering you this much, or is something else making you feel bad?” Then listen. She may surprise you and discuss her true feelings, or she may get defensive. Even if she engages, you will probably have to remind her about this pattern a few times. But only when we learn compassion for ourselves (especially the ugly bits) do we have any hope of feeling better. Maybe you can help. Otherwise, time to move. I am 83 and dating a lovely 85-year-old man I met six months ago through his personal ad in The New York Review of Books. We really like each other. But we disagree about money. I am used to being treated on dates. He believes that men and women are equal, and we should pay our own way. (I believe that I should, and do, provide some meals.) How should I proceed? CLAIRE, MANHATTAN Two successful and intelligent women — half your age — agreed, in front of me, recently: “If a guy doesn’t pay for the first date, I would never go on a second.” They reported wanting an “alpha male.” (I was shocked!) But I like my independence and equal status. I would rather pay my own way if I were a woman. Who wants to be a “beta”?

Question: What problem Mr. Harrell's familiy says he suffered from?

Mr. Harrell had served several stints in prison for drug crimes starting in 2002. He had five disciplinary infractions while incarcerated, including one days before his death for possessing contraband, according to prison records. None involved violence. Inmates and family members say that any erratic behavior more likely stemmed from his mental illness. In the weeks before his death, they said, he had been depressed. In 2010 he learned he had bipolar disorder and was hospitalized, according to medical records. His wife, Diane Harrell, said that when he was not taking his medication, he would go through the house turning over family photographs for fear they were staring at him. He also believed the television was talking to him, she said.

Question: What kind of roads did Formula One used to race on?

Answer: public roads

Q. What other differences do you see between then and now in Formula One? <hl> A. Before, I loved it that it happened on public roads . <hl> In Belgium, after the race, after the deaths, we drove around and to look for where it had happened, driving down to Malmedy and thinking about the war. I don’t know how you can make people understand the difference between a public road and a manufactured piste, manufactured corners, and escape roads in every direction and nothing to hit. Q. But Monza was always a track in a park. That hasn’t changed much. A. Yes, that never impressed me, I never liked it. I loved Belgium, I loved Germany, the setting, the fact that they were public roads. Reims was a road race, and you could imagine the Germans coming over in tanks but it was race cars going in the other direction. It wasn’t much of a circuit, it was only a triangle, very, very fast and there was a wrinkle here and there. It was part of the Champagne country and they gave Champagne for the fastest lap and things like that. It really was a French Grand Prix as opposed to another Grand Prix. Today nothing changes except the crowd.

Question: Who is a two-time Hart Trophy winner?

Pittsburgh’s 4-1 loss to Washington on Monday night in Sullivan’s debut dropped the Penguins to 15-11-3. They were tied for ninth in the Eastern Conference going into Tuesday night’s games and were 27th in goals per game despite ranking fifth in shots. Their power play, with a unit littered with All-Stars, is 28th, ahead of only Calgary and Arizona. Enter Sullivan, who spent a decade grinding out a career as a defensive-minded forward before getting into coaching. He now finds himself trying to get Pittsburgh’s highly capable, occasionally high-strung players working in unison. Nowhere are Pittsburgh’s struggles more evident than in Sidney Crosby’s prolonged funk. Crosby, a two-time Hart Trophy winner, is on pace for career lows in goals and points, and his team appears destined for a four-month battle just to reach the postseason let alone make a serious run at Stanley Cup to bookend the one he and fellow superstar Evgeni Malkin won in 2009 back when a dynasty seemed almost inevitable.

Question: What is the main problem with the offense for the Eagles?

Eagles (1-2) at Redskins (1-2) 1 p.m. Line: Eagles by 3 Coach Chip Kelly may have amazing offensive schemes, but thus far his players haven’t been able to execute them. Sam Bradford has looked like a bad fit at quarterback and has spent most of the season throwing his running backs short passes that get nowhere. The team has had only two plays of 25 yards or more, and the humdrum execution has been reflected on the scoreboard, with the Eagles averaging 19.3 points a game, tied for 21st in the N.F.L. Relying on the other team to trot out an even worse offense does not seem like a great strategy, but it should work this week for Philadelphia.

Question: What is the name of the terrorist group?

What I can pledge, with absolute certainty, is that from the first day of my administration, Boko Haram will know the strength of our collective will and commitment to rid this nation of terror, and bring back peace and normalcy to all the affected areas. Until now, Nigeria has been wanting in its response to their threat: With our neighbors fighting hard to push the terrorists south and out of their countries, our military was not sufficiently supported or equipped to push north. As a consequence, the outgoing government’s lack of determination was an accidental enabler of the group, allowing them to operate with impunity in Nigerian territory.

Question: What are the two potential threats mentioned in the passage?

That proliferation of start-ups has led to a new complaint from computer security chiefs: overlapping information — sometimes as much as 40 percent — in the reports they receive, none of which is cheap.

Question: How long was training for the Ukrainian soldiers?

Capt. Andrii Syurkalo, a Ukrainian officer, said it was commendable that the trainers were willing to use the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal as an element in a class on the Geneva Conventions. American officers described the course work as equivalent to the latter months of basic training in the United States. The courses will train 705 Ukrainian soldiers at a cost of $19 million over six months. The Ukrainian National Guard is rotating from the front what units it can spare for the training. American instructors intend to recommend top performers to serve as trainers within other Ukrainian units, and in this way spread the instruction more broadly.

Question: Who is William Mulholland?

On a boat ride in July through one of the delta’s channels, Anna Swenson, co-director of a community group called North Delta Cares, spoke of William Mulholland, the famed Los Angeles water boss who, in the early 20th century, purloined the water of the distant Owens Valley on behalf of his city. “William Mulholland is in the grave, and so should his ideas be,” Ms. Swenson said. “The days when you could come up here and stick your straw in to satisfy your insatiable demands — those days are over.”

Question: What month was Electric Ursa released?

Although “Electric Ursa” was released just last September, Ms. Shelley devoted much of her set to new songs that were no less resonant and, perhaps, a little more concrete. One, with a melody that would have suited the Carter Family, captured the moment in a breakup when the thought of freedom balances a sense of loss. In that song, and throughout the set, she was open yet composed, never pushing or overplaying the music; she let the songs speak for themselves. With its quiet purity, the music held the club audience rapt.

Question: How many fairy godmothers are there?

The dancing is equally layered. When the six fairy godmothers arrive, there are passages in which they, their eight attendants and four of their cavaliers are all dancing at once, like three orchestral groups in harmony. (Two of the cavaliers don’t dance, so we also see how Petipa the classicist played number games with these choreographic groups of eight, six, four and two.) In Act I, when Princess Aurora’s maids of honor are dancing center stage, the eight violin pages, on the sides of the stage, are doing gargouillades — twinkling sideways jumps in which each foot writes a circle in the air.

Answer: six

Question: What could the deal cause to become more reliable?

If the deal is a political earthquake for Greece, it also puts the country on course for a major economic shake-up. It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make.

Answer: economic statistics

If the deal is a political earthquake for Greece, it also puts the country on course for a major economic shake-up. <hl> It aims to force Greece once again to tackle many issues it has kicked aside for years, from simple ones like getting reliable economic statistics to more complex ones like opening up product and service markets, further streamlining the pension system, improving tax collection and moving ahead on privatization. <hl> Yet even if the Greek Parliament passes a spate of reforms this week, Athens has a spotty track record at carrying out tough changes. As a result, Mr. Tsipras has now agreed to have the International Monetary Fund survey every move he and his government make.

Question: What type of dance was this performance?

Veronika Part, a Lilac Fairy of long experience, now radiates the mature generosity that this part is all about; on Thursday evening, her performance was the most wonderful thing in the whole ballet. Marcelo Gomes, who as Prince Désiré delivers the taxing intricacies of his solo variation at the peak of an exemplary account of the role, also performs as the evil fairy, Carabosse, with splendidly venomous force. Cory Stearns, whose nobility has become nuanced by humor, reflectiveness and poignancy, takes the character of Désiré through a true journey.

Question: What animal is gelded in the first episode?

Perhaps it seems inefficient to put so much effort into helping individual animals, but the counterweight to that perception is that many of their problems are caused by humans. The rhinoceros, for instance, lost its horn to poachers. Part of the beauty of the presentation is that it lets you work out the ethical issues for yourself rather than beating you over the head with them. That restraint sets “Operation Wild” apart from its cousins on basic cable, where outlets like Animal Planet and the National Geographic Channel have been turning veterinarians into TV stars for years: “Dr. Oakley, Yukon Vet,” “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” “Emergency Vets.” A new entry comes along next Saturday on Animal Planet: “Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet.” The differences between that show and “Operation Wild” are pronounced. “Dr. Jeff” is about a Colorado veterinarian named Jeff Young, who has a sprawling practice that includes a mobile clinic. It’s typical of these shows: heavy on cats and dogs, but with a smattering of more exotic domesticated animals. In the premiere, for instance, a camel is gelded.

Question: Which former Prime Minister did Hugh White advise?

SYDNEY, Australia — When Malcolm Turnbull was sworn in on Tuesday, he did not only become Australia’s 29th prime minister — he also became its fourth in just over two years. His three immediate predecessors were ousted by their own parties, including Tony Abbott, who was forced out Monday in a leadership challenge led by Mr. Turnbull. Now that Mr. Turnbull, a wealthy lawyer and former investment banker, has the country’s top job, his main challenge is clear, said Hugh White, an intelligence analyst who from 1985 to 1991 advised Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Defense Minister Kim Beazley.

Question: what month did Mr. Boire take the reigns?

“We didn’t have any money, and my mother was a voracious reader,” he said. “I remember telling a friend, when I grow up, I want to be able to afford hardcover books.” Mr. Boire, who took the helm as chief executive of Barnes & Noble in September, still seems to have a soft spot for physical books. Walking through the first floor of a Barnes & Noble store in Union Square in Manhattan recently, Mr. Boire couldn’t help himself from reflexively straightening the jagged piles of books on the display tables so that the spines lined up neatly. Now Mr. Boire, 54, the former chief executive of Sears Canada and a retail veteran who has worked at Brookstone, Best Buy and Toys “R” Us, is under pressure to reverse the fortunes of the beleaguered bookstore chain, which has been stung in recent years by the rise of Amazon, steep losses from its Nook e-reader division and a string of store closings. To that end, Mr. Boire is leading a push to rebrand Barnes & Noble as more than just a bookstore by expanding its offerings of toys, games, gadgets and other gifts and reshaping the nation’s largest bookstore chain into a “lifestyle brand.” “Everything we do around learning, personal growth and development fits our brand,” Mr. Boire said. “There’s a lot of opportunity.”

Question: What feels pain after 20 weeks of fertilization?

European Union leaders may approve a plan today to distribute 120,000 asylum seekers among member states, one day after a decision to move ahead was forced through by a majority vote. The plan, which barely addresses the crisis, is intended to display unity in the face of the largest movement of migrants on the Continent since World War II. • On Capitol Hill. Senate Republicans failed to advance a bill on legislation outlawing abortion at 20 weeks after fertilization. The legislation is based on the idea, rejected by mainstream medical groups, that a fetus feels pain then.

Question: Who still says that Deutsche Bank is trying to do too much?

But Mr. Jain argued that Deutsche Bank needed to be a force on Wall Street to serve blue-chip German companies that almost always have large operations in the United States. “It is critical for us to have a strong and credible presence in the U.S. in order to claim that we are a true global competitor,” Mr. Jain said. True, he could point to a rebound in Deutsche Bank’s investment banking unit during the last quarter. The bank said that revenue generated from trading stocks, bonds and currencies was the highest in years. Revenue from investment banking rose 15 percent, to €4.7 billion. Operating profit for the unit fell by more than half, to €643 million, after subtracting a portion of the penalty paid in the rate-fixing scandal. Mr. Jain said the bank will “avoid trying to be all things to all people.” But critics would say the bank, trapped in its image of itself as Germany’s beachhead in the financial world, is still trying to do too much.

Question: What happened when Ms. Bedford Said she wanted to do a coloring book for grown ups?

Question: What period does Ms.Clement  update the action to?

The contemporary relevance of “Poliuto” is potentially strong, whether to the centenary of the Armenian genocide or to events in the Middle East. Ms. Clément updates the action, mostly to the interwar period. The costumes nod to dictatorships, maybe Nazi or Italian, less likely the Communism of Armenia. Muddled projections by the videographers fettFilm point obliquely and fleetingly to the 1990s siege of Sarajevo, and to an international criminal court. Towering stone pillars change position in Julia Hansen’s sets, suggesting the protean power of tyranny and the danger of lives lived in the shadows, but they transform awkwardly.

Question: What is the trial about?

“I would be utterly shocked and dismayed and aghast if the Assembly Democrats were to offer Mr. Silver any leadership role whatsoever,” said Assemblyman Brian M. Kolb, a Republican from the Finger Lakes region who serves as minority leader. “But I never rule anything out.” One issue that both parties agree on is that the corruption trials of Mr. Silver and Dean G. Skelos, a Republican who was the leader of the State Senate and whose trial entered its second week on Monday, have cast much of Albany in an unsavory light, as have suggestions by defense lawyers that allegedly criminal behavior is merely part of “business as usual” in the state capital.

Question: What is the suggested course of action?

Some details still need to be worked out. In the coming months, the Labor Department will solicit public comment on how to adjust the new salary threshold so it does not erode all over again. The best option is to raise it in line with wages or prices, whichever is greater in a given year. There will also be inevitable blowback from business interests, but their Republican allies in Congress should think twice about backing them up: No party and no politician that opposes the new overtime rules can credibly claim to care about the middle class.

Question: Who captured a military post?

The scene unfolded almost a month after President Bashar al-Assad, in a rare public speech, had vowed to send reinforcements to rescue the holdouts, declaring, “The army will arrive soon to these heroes.” Afterward, insurgents, including members of the Nusra Front, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda, captured the gutted hospital, completing their takeover of the town of Jisr al-Shoughour, a crucial location on the road from the mostly insurgent-held province of Idlib toward the government’s strongholds on the coast. The loss of the hospital came two days after Islamic State militants drove government forces out of the desert town of Palmyra in central Syria in a lightning attack that has shocked the country. In addition, on Friday, the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, seized a military outpost near Palmyra, after its takeover on Thursday of a border crossing between Syria and Iraq farther east.

Question: Which other lawyers were also detained?

In recent days, the police have detained a number of other lawyers, including Li Chunfu, the brother of Li Heping, a prominent rights defender who is among those who disappeared in an earlier police sweep. “This is another blow to the Chinese government’s pledge that it will uphold the rule of law,” a spokesman for the China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group, a Hong Kong organization, said by telephone. Ms. Yan, Mr. Yu’s wife, said officers at the police station where her husband was being held refused to allow her to see him on Friday. An officer who picked up the phone at the police station refused to confirm whether Mr. Yu was there.
