Question: When was Archibald Motley born?

★ Whitney Museum of American Art: ‘Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist’ (through Jan. 17) Let’s take it as a good omen that the first solo show to appear in the Whitney’s new home is a career retrospective of a still understudied artist. Motley (1891-1981) was born in New Orleans and lived in Chicago, where he painted the cultural life of the city’s African-American neighborhood known as Bronzeville, portraying it with an eye for calibrations of class and race, and with a sense of his own conflicted position within its context. The show is modest in size but has features that many larger, sexier exhibitions lack: an affecting narrative, a distinctive atmosphere, and a complex and troubling political and moral tenor. 99 Gansevoort Street, at Washington Street, 212-570-3600, whitney.org.

Question: Does Mr Cameron have the infrastructure to make it work?

The new groundwater law that the Legislature passed last year would give farmers stronger incentive to cooperate in such plans. In wet years, they might allow their fields to be flooded in the winter or early spring to recharge the groundwater, and they would then be entitled to pump a certain amount out in dry years. Now, urgent research is underway to figure out what soils and crops can tolerate deliberate flooding. To move floodwater around in the winter, new canals and other infrastructure may be needed in some areas, one potential use of some of the $2.7 billion in public money. If floods come this winter, Mr. Cameron will wish he were in a position to go beyond his 2011 experiment, capturing more water. But, like many farmers, he does not yet have the canals and gear in place to make that work, a big reason the farmers could be forced to watch millions of gallons of floodwater escape to the sea this winter.

Question: What type of finals was it?

“I’ve always felt like that was part of my job as the point guard,” he said. “And truthfully, in my head, I am trying to stay calm and be sure I’m thinking straight.” Trice’s measured approach to the game was evident at least three times in the regional final. Near the end of regulation, after his teammate Marvin Clark Jr. missed two free throws, shots that might have clinched the victory for Michigan State, Trice went to Clark at the next whistle — with the game still very much in doubt. “I told him that those misses weren’t going to lose us the game,” Trice said. “I told him he was going to get another big rebound or another chance to help us win. We needed him now so we could win.”

Question: How much aid did Governor Cuomo offer to New York school systems if the Assembly would pass his proposal?

ALBANY —  In an emerging sign of possible budget-battle lines, Democrats in the New York Assembly rejected proposals on Monday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo linking an increase in statewide school aid to an array of his proposed changes. They also sided with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s bid for longer-term mayoral control of New York City’s schools. The Democrats’ stance, articulated in several proposals released by Speaker Carl E. Heastie of the Bronx, keeps a tight focus in Albany on the issue of education, which Mr. Cuomo has promised to make a focus of his nascent second term. In January, Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, introduced a series of education proposals, including making a teacher evaluation system rely more heavily on state tests, raising the number of charter schools in the state and allowing failing schools to be taken over by outside groups. That position was criticized by teachers’ unions but praised by supporters of the charter school movement. Mr. Cuomo’s education plan also includes a financial carrot: an increase of $1.1 billion in state aid if his proposals become law. But on Monday, Mr. Heastie suggested that such an approach would not pass muster in the Assembly, which Democrats control.

Question: How much was spent on the makeover?

Q. Your next makeover is at 1156 Avenue of the Americas.  A. That’s a building that we’ve owned since 1999. I was looking at the building and I said, well, if this building was for sale now and one of the major brokers had it on the market it would come with a high-gloss book and it would show all of the possibilities a buyer could do with the building. So I thought there’s no reason we shouldn’t do it. We own it. We could do what a broker would say could be done. It’s about an 84,000-square-foot building, so it’s rather on the small side, and on that we’re spending $4 million. Q. What’s your occupancy rate portfoliowide?  A. We’re over 96 percent. We have a high renewal rate as well — in excess of 70 percent.

Question: What didn't he want to repeat in the country?

“No matter how they explained their position, the state is falling apart,” he said in 2012. “Interethnic, interclan and intertribal conflicts continue.” He added, “And you want us to constantly repeat these mistakes in other countries?” He argued against intervention by outside powers in Syria as well, adding that Russia was “not concerned with the fate” of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Question: What's the speed of trains that traveled trough those areas?

The location with the highest accident prediction value in the country is in Ashdown, Ark. — a freight railroad crossing that has been the site of 19 accidents since 1975. There are no warning lights or gates at the crossing. The site of the Metro-North crash, a less traveled crossing in Valhalla, N.Y., where the last accident was a fatal collision in 1984, is rated nowhere near as dangerous but is still in the top fifth of the most potentially hazardous crossings in the New York City region. Several factors make the mix of trains and humans in the region more dangerous than elsewhere. Commuter trains travel through densely populated areas at speeds as high as 80 miles per hour. The freight trains that dominate the tracks in other parts of the country travel much slower through towns, often just 10 m.p.h. The commuter rail lines in the region bear more trains each day than many freight train crossings elsewhere see in a month. But some of the crossings The Times examined have problems that safety experts say can increase the chances of a collision, like roads and tracks meeting at harsh angles and traffic signals in proximity that, in heavy traffic, can contribute to drivers’ getting stuck on the tracks.

Question: Who created the "Bolotas" chairs?

Moderne An organic and natural modern approach to furniture is on view at Moderne Gallery of Philadelphia, which is showing a sofa designed in 1968 by Wharton Esherick, a leading midcentury craftsman. Made of cherry and walnut, the biomorphic shape recalls sculptures by Alberto Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, and functions as both sculpture and sofa. When the wood along the back of the sofa expands because of temperature and humidity, it reveals red paint, creating a kind of striped effect. Friedman Benda Nature is corralled in a more humorous way by the Brazilian designers and brothers Humberto and Fernando Campana in their “Bolotas” (2015) chairs at Friedman Benda, near the entrance to the fair. “Bolotas” means “acorns” in Portuguese, and the chairs, covered with chestnut-colored sheep’s wool, do simulate the look of acorns, as well as of unshaven sheep, shag carpeting or bean bags. They are, nonetheless, shockingly comfortable. David Gill Arguably the goofiest object at Salon is the “Jungle V.I.P.” chandelier from 2014, designed by Barnaby Barford. Made with crystal, brass, sculpted foam and wire, the fixture hangs at a tilt, thanks to a black crystal monkey dangling from its rim. In another context, it might read like a sculpture by Maurizio Cattelan or any number of young artists given to sight gags. Like many of the objects in this show, however, the chandelier is a strong statement against taking art or design too seriously, and for mixing materials, histories, traditions and sensibilities as irreverently as possible.

Question: The legal ruling barely eluded to what?

Marijuana is just one of many sources of income for the cartels, which smuggle narcotics across the border to the United States and run kidnapping and extortion rings at home. The criminal infrastructure will persist whether or not marijuana use is legal. “The existing laws don’t reduce violence, either,” said Catalina Pérez Correa González, a law professor at CIDE, a university in Mexico City. The legal ruling on Wednesday barely referred to the bloody backdrop of the drug war. Instead, Justice Arturo Zaldívar wrote an 88-page opinion based on principles of human rights, arguing that the state recognizes an individual’s autonomy to engage in recreational activities that do not harm others.

Question: What does the claimant accuse gravestones of being?

With the simplicity of a fable and the drama of a psychological thriller, Ball tells a story about starting over from nothing, reconstructing life from its most basic elements. These acts of narrative deconstruction highlight his strength as a deeply questioning writer at home in fact as much as abstraction. In the village’s cemetery, Ball deconstructs death. Noting that gravestones are “irrational” because they prolong suffering while failing to bring back the dead, the claimant wonders: “But, if life is just that, just being reasonable, then there is nothing in it — nothing worthwhile. So, the yearning that we have to keep dead things living — or to make unreasonable things reasonable. That is why a person should live.”

Question: What exploded into white hot flames?

This took Macklin by surprise. He braked with his own less powerful drum brakes and swerved to the left to avoid the rapidly decelerating Jaguar. Meanwhile, Fangio, who was in second position, about 200 meters behind Hawthorn, was coming up to pass the Mercedes of Levegh. Levegh, though, was surprised by Macklin’s Austin-Healey swerving across the track. He could not slow in time. So while racing at 240 kilometers an hour, with Fangio right behind him, Levegh’s Mercedes made contact with the left rear of Macklin’s car and was catapulted into the air. It crashed on the embankment on the spectator side of the track and exploded in a ball of flames from the fuel. Levegh, 49, was thrown from the car and killed instantly. His car broke into several pieces. Both the engine and the rear hood, with the air brake, were ripped out of the car and plowed a furrow through the crowd. Worse, the hood spun around like a disc through the packed group of spectators, decapitating dozens of people. Many other spectators were killed by the explosion. The initial flames caused by the burning fuel raised the heat level of the chassis, causing the magnesium to explode in white-hot flames, sending embers into the crowd.

Question: What nationality is Xavier Gabriel?

Because of an editing error, an article on Dec. 20 about Xavier Gabriel, a Spaniard whose lottery business has become a national emblem of luck and a formidable merchandising brand, misstated, in some editions, the timing of the crash of the Virgin Galactic space plane, on which Mr. Gabriel has booked a $200,000 seat. The crash was last year, not in July. The Times welcomes comments and suggestions, or complaints about errors that warrant correction.

Question: What is the main theme or belief of the National Front?

The first posters highlighted hostility to migrants — “Two Million Unemployed is Two Million Immigrants Too Many!” reads one from 1978. “Immigrants weigh on the economic life of our country,” Jean-Marie Le Pen told an interviewer that year — words that could have come from his daughter. “Immigration was its central theme,” writes the historian Valérie Igounet about the National Front’s early days. “Rejection of immigration, this is what it is has been for more than 40 years,” Laurent Bouvet, a political scientist who specializes in the National Front, said in an interview. “There’s this side of them, a hierarchy of civilizations.”

Question: When did Neuer misread the free kick from Santi Cazorla?

Fine keepers and thin margins can win games. Yet in the last 13 minutes, Neuer was beaten twice. The first was his own fault. By popular acclaim the best goalkeeper on earth, Neuer misread a high, swinging free kick from Santi Cazorla, pawing at thin air. Olivier Giroud swept in behind him to bundle the ball into the net.

Question: How many families in Ban Rak Thai were once members or descendants of the Lost Army?

BAN RAK THAI, Thailand —  At night, traditional Chinese red lanterns illuminate the hotels, shop fronts and Yunnanese-style restaurants lining the main road in this highland village of just over 1,000 people. On one recent evening, as the mist rose off a nearby reservoir, the mellifluous voice of the popular Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng could be heard wafting out from one of the village’s several tea shops. But this sleepy Chinese village is nestled in the lush backcountry of northwestern Thailand, one of several dozen such outposts, a quirk of the region’s tumultuous human and political history. “I may have a Thai ID, but I’m Chinese,” said Liang Zhengde, 47, a manager for his family’s fruit farms. “My family is Chinese, and no matter where we go, we’re still Chinese.” The Liangs, like some 200 other families here, are the veterans or descendants of what is known as China’s Lost Army, a unit of the Kuomintang’s Nationalist Army, which lost to the Red Army of Mao Zedong in 1949. As most Nationalist soldiers fled east to Taiwan in the face of Communist advances, the Kuomintang’s 93rd Division retreated west from the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan into Myanmar, then known as Burma.

Question: How has the stock market performed since August?

The move signals that the government is beginning to step back from the extraordinary measures it took over the summer to stop a steep sell-off in the country’s stock markets. In addition to suspending I.P.O.s, those measures included a harsh crackdown backed by the police against any investors betting against stocks, orders for state-owned brokerages to buy stocks on behalf of the state, and banning large shareholders of companies from selling their stakes. The timing of the move is opportunistic, as Chinese stocks have recently staged a rebound. From its low in late August, the main Shanghai share index has risen 23 percent. Getting the I.P.O. process right has proved challenging for Chinese regulators, who have suspended and resumed new listings several times in recent years when markets have become too volatile. New listings are a favored target of speculators because, under current regulations, the shares are permitted to rise as much as 44 percent on their first day of trading. Trading on subsequent days is capped at a daily gain or loss of 10 percent, as it is for all other stocks.

Question: What absurd humor infiltrates the piece?

“Songs From the Second Floor” (released here in 2002) remains Mr. Andersson’s comic masterpiece. It’s a pure and bizarre piece of millennial art, set amid perpetual traffic jams at some apocalyptic turning point. It loosely tracks a businessman who has burned down his own shop, but it also looks in on his insane son and others. The end of days looms — Mr. Andersson makes jokes about get-rich-quick crucifix salesmen — and over-the-top doomsday sights appear, like self-flagellating crowds, the dead rising and even a sacrificial rite. The “hyperreality,” as Mr. Andersson called it, makes for a forceful visual effect that is unforgettable. The same can be said of “You, the Living,” where the overarching conceit involves dreams being recounted for the camera and then dramatized. The filmmaker’s signature style is in effect, but occasional songs are added as in a musical. “Pigeon” takes another step away from reality with bewildering jumps between periods in Swedish history: One episode has the country’s 18th-century king riding into a modern bar to find a toilet.

Question: What weather could have rescued California?

The federal government has warned farmers for the second year in a row that it would not be providing any water from its Central Valley Project reservoir system. Any hope climatologists had that California would be rescued again by a wet El Niño winter weather system is fading with the arrival of spring. State regulators voted Tuesday to impose a new round of water conservation rules, including sharp restrictions on landscape watering and orders to restaurants not to serve water to customers unless asked. Farmers said they anticipated leaving as much as one million acres fallow, nearly twice the area that went unplanted last year.

Question: Who was Jeb Bush's campaign manager?

Mr. Atwater managed George Bush’s 1988 campaign against Michael S. Dukakis, the Massachusetts governor, a race that featured one of the most devastating political ads in American history. It discussed Willie Horton, a black murderer who escaped from the Massachusetts prison system while on a weekend furlough and raped a white woman and stabbed her husband. Mr. Atwater denied having a role in the ad, which was sponsored by a political action committee. But he said part of his plan to defeat Mr. Dukakis was to “make Willie Horton his running mate.” “It is certainly true the Bushes like to win, and have never kept their Lee Atwaters and their Karl Roves on a short leash, when anything and everything was required,” Mr. Draper said. Jeb Bush’s team, led by his pugnacious campaign manager, Danny Diaz, can also be feisty.

Question: What is the giant satellite called?

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

Question: What has Toby Gad worked with Madonna on?

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: How are those affected coping with the financial loss?

“A middle class that believed deeply that the motherland would become strong has been eviscerated,” said an essay circulating on Chinese websites this week that was credited to an investor who had lost most of his savings. “This was a stock wipeout that thoroughly damaged middle-class assets from a decade of striving. For us, the China Dream really is just a dream.” The giddiest investors, including those who took on debt to buy stock, are wondering if they can recover their fortunes. Some have posted notices on property rental and sales websites saying they need to sell their homes quickly to raise cash.

Question: he said it powerfully through his_________?

But he did have something to say, and he said it powerfully through his music. In East Berlin he played a song entitled “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue?” According to Ricky Riccardi, one of Armstrong’s biographers, the song had not been in his repertoire for a decade or more. But he played it on every stop during his Iron Curtain tour. He also played it slower than he ever had, so that it became a mournful lament. “My only sin is in my skin,” he sings. “What did I do to be so black and blue?”

Question: where is based drummond ?

Over the past decade, companies doing business in Colombia, like Chiquita Brands and Dole Food, have incurred the wrath of Terrence Collingsworth, a lawyer who has accused them of mistreating workers or conspiring to kill labor activists. But these days, Mr. Collingsworth is on the defensive. One of his targets, Drummond, a coal producer based in Birmingham, Ala., recently asked a federal judge to hold the lawyer in contempt as part of a libel suit it is pressing against him. Chiquita and Dole, pointing to the Drummond case, have also raised questions about his practices. The problems engulfing Mr. Collingsworth underscore the mounting difficulties facing a small group of plaintiffs’ lawyers who have carved out a niche suing multinational corporations on charges that they violated human rights overseas.

Question: Who sought to draw an end to America's role in the Afghanistan war?

Yet the shift in American plans is as much a result of the dire situation in Afghanistan as it is a broad lobbying effort by a powerful cross-section of the American foreign policy and national security establishment, including many of the dinner guests on Tuesday. In recent months, even as Mr. Obama has sought to draw an end to America’s role in Afghanistan’s war, a number of influential figures in Washington have pressed hard in public and in private to keep the United States involved. To help make their case, they repeatedly cited the election of Mr. Ghani, a Columbia graduate who lived in Washington for 15 years, as a central reason to stay in Afghanistan, despite the relative weakness of his government. Ahead of Tuesday’s meeting at the White House, for instance, a group of 23 former American ambassadors and senior officials released an open letter urging the United States to keep troops in Afghanistan.

Answer: Mr. Obama

Yet the shift in American plans is as much a result of the dire situation in Afghanistan as it is a broad lobbying effort by a powerful cross-section of the American foreign policy and national security establishment, including many of the dinner guests on Tuesday. <hl> In recent months, even as Mr. Obama has sought to draw an end to America’s role in Afghanistan’s war, a number of influential figures in Washington have pressed hard in public and in private to keep the United States involved. <hl> To help make their case, they repeatedly cited the election of Mr. Ghani, a Columbia graduate who lived in Washington for 15 years, as a central reason to stay in Afghanistan, despite the relative weakness of his government.

Question: What country didn't he want outside power from?

“No matter how they explained their position, the state is falling apart,” he said in 2012. “Interethnic, interclan and intertribal conflicts continue.” He added, “And you want us to constantly repeat these mistakes in other countries?” He argued against intervention by outside powers in Syria as well, adding that Russia was “not concerned with the fate” of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

Question: Who was David Monti's running career for?

“Meb’s the only one who asks for the redeye,” David Monti, who helps recruit elite athletes for the race, said, laughing. “He’s a guy that thrives on structure and detail.” Attention to routine has built a glorious running career over 26.2 miles for Keflezighi, the only person who has won the New York City Marathon (2009), the Boston Marathon (2014) and an Olympic marathon medal (silver, 2004 Athens Games). At 40, he enters Sunday’s race among a half-dozen favorites and is expected to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics by finishing among the top three at the United States Olympic marathon trials on Feb. 13 in Los Angeles. Frank Shorter is widely considered the greatest male American marathoner, having won gold at the 1972 Munich Olympics, taken silver at the 1976 Montreal Games and finished first for four consecutive years at Japan’s Fukuoka Marathon, a de facto world championship in the 1970s. Yet given the persistence of Keflezighi’s career in an event where the top runners often flare as brightly and briefly as shooting stars, said Amby Burfoot, winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon, “Meb’s longevity on top is without equal, I think.” A thread that stitches Keflezighi’s triumphs is his success not in time-trial races on flat courses like Berlin but on challenging courses without pacesetters in New York and Boston, and in championship races like the Olympics, where strategy and tactics are as important as sheer speed.

Question: How will the prison population be decreased?

A growing number of state and federal officials from both parties are supporting measures to decrease the prison population by lightening punishments for some drug-related offenders, who according to federal data make up roughly half of the 1.5 million federal and state prisoners. The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 eliminated the five-year minimum sentence for first-time possession of crack, and decreased higher mandatory punishments for dealing crack with a prior criminal record. The day after visiting the probation office, Mr. Norris met with a social services agent who briefed him on more than a dozen state assistance programs, including ones that offer free interview clothes and health exams at the Wellmobile, a clinic on wheels that drives around Maryland. Applying for food stamps meant his first attempt at a technology forbidden in prison: the Internet. “I feel like a 5-year-old trying to learn this stuff,” he said, poking hesitantly at a keyboard.

Question: Who are the partners of Chef Chung Chow?

This exchange suggested some of the challenges facing Noreetuh’s chef, Chung Chow, along with his partners, Jin Ahn and Gerald San Jose. Island seafood and produce fill the walk-ins at contemporary Honolulu restaurants like MW or the Pig and the Lady, but they rarely reach the island of Manhattan. A knowledgeable audience can’t be imported, either. While islanders can be counted on to know exactly which local dish Alan Wong is playing around with, the average New Yorker has almost no idea what the residents of the 50th state eat. Don’t they like … Spam?

Question: What percentage of the equipment was manufactured in the past decade?

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

Question: Tickets for the Saturday came could be exchanged for tickets for the game on what day?

The rain led to a 21-minute delay from the scheduled start time of 1:10 p.m. Even after the Mets recorded the first three outs of the day, bringing about an early seventh-inning stretch, patrons were still trickling in, a mix of fans taking advantage of the opportunity to watch 11-plus innings of baseball and others anticipating the debut of Steven Matz in the second game. Saturday’s attendees were allowed to exchange their tickets for Sunday but were placed in different locations. The confusion even affected those not at the park: WPIX broadcast the end of Saturday’s game before SNY took over for the second game. Collins said his players’ routines would not change much, but the unorthodox circumstances befuddled him to a degree. He was not certain of the technicalities of the rule, but he said he planned to carry Matz as a 26th player because the team was playing an extra game on Sunday and therefore did not have to make a corresponding move to make room for him.

Question: What else will be located inside this new building?

PACE GALLERY DREAMS BIG The Pace Gallery, which turns 55 this year, making it one of the country’s oldest contemporary art galleries, has never been in the real-estate business. As Marc Glimcher, Pace’s president, has said, “We are serial renters.” But it doesn’t seem to be keeping the gallery from shaping its fortunes in Chelsea, where it has three locations. Over the next two years, along with the landlord of its flagship location at 534 West 25th Street, the gallery will oversee the construction of an eight-story building, at 540 West 25th Street, that will give it 30,000 more square feet for shows, for staff now working at offices on East 57th Street and for visible storage of art in transit through the gallery, an idea that has been growing in the museum world but that will be a novelty in a commercial gallery. The space will let Pace put its 10,000-volume art-scholars’ library front and center and also house the operations of Pace Editions and Pace/MacGill. “We don’t know exactly what it’s going to be, but it’s not going to be the same ritual of show after show and fighting other galleries for the hot artists,” Mr. Glimcher said. “We have a chance here to redefine what it is to be a gallery and to be Pace.”

Question: Who argued that someone else made a hole?

Mr. Arlia argues that someone else made that hole and that the detective, who maintains he had no idea who was actually in the Range Rover, assumed it had been broken by a projectile from inside the car. “He actually thought it was an attack from within and he reacted,” Mr. Arlia argued. “He never had any purposeful intent to cause harm.” Mr. Steinglass pointed out in his opening that Detective Braszczok never intervened when he saw Mr. Lien assaulted, nor did he call the uniformed police. According to a witness at a pretrial hearing, the detective waited two days before telling the Police Department that he had been involved in the attack, a decision his lawyer attributed to his fear that he would be fired. Three hours after the assault, Mr. Steinglass pointed out, Detective Braszczok sent two texts to colleagues in the Police Department, one saying the biker tour was “mayhem” and another stating “it was fun.”
