Question: Who is called the Carl Icahn of China?

As part of their increased oversight, financial regulators have been cracking down recently on insider trading, which analysts say is rampant on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. Suspicions of insider trading were cited this week in the arrest of the owner of one of the country’s top investment firms, Xu Xiang, a billionaire who has been called the Carl Icahn of China. With the resumption of I.P.O.s, the spokesman for the securities regulator, Deng Ge, said on Friday that the agency intended to simplify the approval process for smaller companies and heighten the responsibilities of the brokerages that bring new listings to the market. The new measures would “increase protections for the rights and interests of investors and further reform and perfect the I.P.O. system,” Mr. Deng said, according to Xinhua. In a separate development Friday evening, China’s central bank and securities regulator jointly published long-delayed guidelines for investment firms in mainland China and Hong Kong to gain access to each other’s markets.

Question: What did Dolan and Thomas accuse the jury of being?

After the verdict, Dolan and Thomas made a show of suggesting that the jury was gullible and that they would appeal. “I’m very innocent,” Thomas said immediately afterward, tapping his chest for emphasis. “I will appeal.” He did not. During the trial, Dolan took puffed-chest pride in testifying that he had decided to fire Browne all on his own, without talking to his corporate counsel. “All decisions at the Garden I make on my own,” he said. Yes, well, that worked out, didn’t it? The jury found that Dolan’s decision constituted a retaliatory firing and violated federal law. Dolan’s people vowed that the boss positively, absolutely would appeal. He did not. But he did assure New Yorkers that “the normal operations of M.S.G. and the New York Knicks will continue unabated.”

Question: What percentage of workers drove alone in 2013?

The new services come after a long decline of car-pooling. According to a report released by the Census Bureau in August, car-pooling fell to a low of just over 9 percent in 2013, the last year for which figures are available, from nearly 20 percent in 1980. About 76 percent of people who traveled to work drove alone in 2013, according to the report. Christopher Koopman, a research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, gained firsthand experience in the sharing economy. After landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, he considered the traditional options: taking a taxi or riding on mass transit. In the end, he used UberPool, a recent venture by Uber that offers shared rides on demand. Although the trip to his office took a detour to a hotel to drop off his traveling companion, the price of the ride fell to $8, from $12 if he had ridden solo.

Question: What specifically does the box contents say about the couple?

The book begins at the moment when everything collapses. A box of incriminating correspondence — a deceptively mild-looking thing — arrives at the Shanleys’ home, poised to spray shrapnel everywhere. Sent by Jack’s most recent ex-mistress, it contains dozens of printed pages of filthy emails delineating exactly what the couple wanted to do to each other and how. (Adultery Rule No. 1: Do not use email! What do you think Snapchat is for?) Unfortunately, when it arrives, Kay is the only one home. She opens it, thinking it might be an early birthday present.

Question: Where did they speak.

She continued: “What started out as an invigorating, life-enhancing, joyous experience evolved into something quite crazy. A strange artistic process, but a sign of the time. We’re all digital, we’re all vulnerable and everything’s instant — so instant. Instant success and instant failure. Instant discovery, instant destruction, instant construction. It’s as splendid and wonderful as it is devastating. Honestly, to me it’s the death of being an artist in many ways.” We spoke in her sitting room, where a Fernand Léger painting presides from above the fireplace. A large coffee table was neatly stacked with books and folders of photographs that Madonna has been using for research as she works on the screenplay for her next film project, based on the novel “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells.” Imposing cream-colored couches flanked the coffee table, but Madonna preferred sitting on the floor.

Question: Who does the movie show Mohamed having an at-odds relationship with?

Before long, the men are tramping through the desert, where step by step, over one and then another crest, they walk and periodically speak, sharing meals and assorted dangers. With the director of photography Guillaume Deffontaines, Mr. Oelhoffen conveys the striking, multicolored glories of this rough landscape, with all its sun-shot gradations of red and brown, without descending into picture-postcard banality. (The movie was shot in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.) Many of the movie’s most effective scenes involve the men just walking through this extraordinary landscape, the warring splendor and harshness of their surroundings — equally inviting and foreboding — as seemingly at odds as the attraction-repulsion that initially defines Daru and Mohamed’s relationship.

Question: Did Dawkins break any rims after upgrades were introduced?

Not long after Dawkins’s backboard-shattering spree, the league introduced the so-called breakaway rim, which yields to downward pressure and then snaps back to the horizontal, minimizing the potential for destruction. “The first one was an accident, but I wanted to see if I could do it again when I got back to Philadelphia,” Dawkins recalled in the 2004 Times interview, referring to his most smashingly spectacular dunks. “All the fans were hollering, ‘You’ve got to do one for the home crowd,’ so I went ahead and brought it down.

Question: What inning of the game was Mitchell relieved?

Asked if he had thought the ball was out, Gregorius said, “Until I got robbed, yeah.” Then in the fifth, Mitchell just missed getting his glove on Adam Eaton’s single up the middle. After a wild pitch, Tyler Saladino followed with another grounder up the middle, which gave the White Sox a 3-1 lead and spelled the end for Mitchell, who gave up seven hits and struck out five. Moreno came in for his first appearance since throwing five and a third innings of no-hit relief Tuesday against Texas, a stint that kept him from being returned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a fresher arm. But it quickly became apparent that Moreno would not repeat that performance. He nicked Jose Abreu on the elbow and then surrendered Cabrera’s home run.

Question: The advocacy group Tenants and Neighbors believe what course of action would not help fix the problem?

But that would be a setback for both Mr. de Blasio and tenant activists who hope to impose restrictions on landlords of rent-stabilized apartments. “It’s really siding with the real estate industry, rather than New York tenants,” said Katie Goldstein of Tenants and Neighbors, an advocacy group. “It’d be a disaster. Renewal would mean leaving the broken system intact.” Keith L. T. Wright, a Democrat and the chairman of the Assembly’s housing committee, agreed. “It would be political and governmental malpractice if we do not reform rent regulations and 421-a,” he said.

Question: Ms. Yellen recently gave a speech in what city?

The Federal Reserve is supposed to achieve two goals simultaneously: full employment with stable prices. Yet there is one obvious factor that drives American living standards but risks being lost in this mix: wages. The economic status of most working-age households is determined by whether people are employed and for how many hours. It is also affected by how quickly prices are rising and whether their paychecks are at least keeping up with, if not outpacing, those prices. Over the last few years, employment has been growing and inflation has been low. But annual wage growth has been stuck at about 2 percent going on six years now. This combination has caused some economists and Fed watchers to argue that the Fed should target wages as a third metric. Janet Yellen, the Fed chairwoman, happens to agree with many of these wage-conscious analysts on a wide range of other economic issues, raising the possibility the Fed might indeed move in this direction. Ms. Yellen gave her answer in a recent speech in San Francisco: No.

Question: What type of birds does Sally keep?

The doorbell at the Mann home in Lexington, Va., is a small, black, wrought-iron breast. Visitors announce themselves by pressing a red nipple within the raised areola. Like the red-metal dragons that line the driveway or the 20-by-24-inch blowups of the children in the foyer or the photograph on the living room wall of Sally Mann’s father, dead in his bathrobe, the doorbell seems designed to give a start to the uninitiated and to put some comic distance between the occupants and their neighbors. The same attitude of defiance is there in the cover portrait of “Immediate Family.” Bare-chested with arms crossed or akimbo, the three little Manns level their gaze at the world. Children and house both project the sensibilities of Sally Mann herself. A 41-year-old dark-haired beauty whose turned-up nose accentuates a natural hauteur, she is a cool mom. With her brood safely strapped in, she drives a black BMW 735i, very fast, and favors a subdued, asexual preppy look — turtle-necks and T-shirts, cut-off shorts, dirty Reeboks. Lexington is a genteel town, site of Stonewall Jackson’s house, Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute. Born and raised here, married to the same man for 22 years, Mann is secure enough in her surroundings to take liberties with the mores of a place only 50 miles from the headquarters of the Rev. Jerry Falwell and his Moral Majority. “I think the South depends on its eccentrics,” she says one summer afternoon on the back porch as Jessie and Virginia weave in and out of the house. (Emmett is away at camp.) “It loves them, and it rewards them in lots of ways. This community allows itself to be scandalized by me and by my work, but they love it. What else would they do if it wasn’t for me? I take being iconoclastic sort of seriously. It’s my role here.” Ex-”dirt hippies” who still grow much of their own food and until a decade and a half ago barely made enough money to pay taxes, Sally and Larry Mann are a tight couple. Both “Immediate Family” and “At Twelve,” her portraits of local girls on the cusp of puberty, are dedicated to him. While she has pursued her photography career with singleminded purpose, he has been a blacksmith and a two-term City Councilman; recently, he got a law degree. His office in town is 10 minutes away, and he walks home nearly every day for lunch. Their house has an airy mood of understated comfort, its three levels overlooking a wisteria arbor and a well-tended vegetable garden in a yard that slopes down to a creek. Rope swings and hammocks hang from ash-leaved maples. The decor includes photographs by Diane Arbus and Emmet Gowin, both important figures for Mann; walls of books; marble torsos of nude women; finches in cages and flying free; the skeletons of lizards and cats. An expansion completed this year provides each child his or her own room; Sally and Larry reside in a connecting wing, which also houses her new darkroom and offices. To meet the demand for her work, she can now afford to hire an assistant. The slow, wet air of southern Virginia in July and August, when even the trees perspire, serves as a backdrop for Mann’s idylls of leisure. “Even though I take pictures of my children, they’re still about here,” she says. “It exerts a hold on me that I can’t define.”

The slow, wet air of southern Virginia in July and August, when even the trees perspire, serves as a backdrop for Mann’s idylls of leisure. “Even though I take pictures of my children, they’re still about here,” she says. “It exerts a hold on me that I can’t define.”


Question: What is the height of the mural in Chimbote?

Inside the elevator bank model, a short video of Hofmann at work is worth watching. On audio, Mr. Silver presents his thinking on the mosaics. First, His studies for the mosaics led him away from easel painting and spurred larger, more ambitious works. This is visible in nine paintings (oil on paper on board) executed in preparation for a 50-foot-tall mural for a campanile in Chimbote, a port city in Peru, as part of a renewal project by the architect Josep Lluís Sert and the urban planner Paul Lester Wiener. Measuring as much as 8 by 4 feet, the studies depict tilting, implicitly Constructivist crosses in red, yellow and blue, so cheerful they seem almost blasphemous, and more open figurative-like improvisations that bring to mind David Smith’s welded sculptures.

Question: Who conducted the American Symphony Orchestra?

Some of those elements are evident in his Piano Concerto (1938), a vast and sometimes unwieldy piece whose slow movement features an unusual duet between harp and piano and whose virtuosic whirlwinds, acerbic chords and gentle pentatonic, folklorish melodies were deftly and energetically rendered by the pianist Jorge Federico Osorio on Saturday evening, with Mr. Botstein conducting the American Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Chávez’s catalog includes six symphonies. The second, the Sinfonía India, uses native Yaqui instruments and North Mexican melodies and is one of Mr. Chávez’s best-known pieces; it led Copland and other prominent American supporters to identify Mr. Chávez as a quintessentially “Mexican composer.”

Question: What groups state that disabled children don't always get qualified services from schools?

Charter schools are publicly financed, but privately run, and they are required, like regular public schools, to provide individual learning plans for children with special needs. The suit comes at a time when charter schools, especially those in the Success Academy network, have come under scrutiny for their enforcement of strict behavior codes, suspending even the youngest students. But advocates and families say that in both charters and traditional public schools, it can often be a struggle to ensure children with disabilities receive the services to which they are entitled.

Question: What player has been out of the lineup since May 20th?

Ellsbury has been out since May 20 with a sprained knee, and Gardner has shifted over to replace him in center field and at the top of the batting order. Besides Gardner, who is batting .296 with 61 runs and 15 stolen bases in 18 attempts, the other candidates are Detroit outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas, Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts and Minnesota second baseman Brian Dozier. Fans can vote until Friday. “I’m more of a low-key guy,” Gardner said. “I know the team is going to do their part and hopefully some of my teammates step up. I know they’re going to try and get me some votes. I’m just going to focus on getting my work in and helping us win games and see how it turns out on Friday.”

Question: When was the reconciliation agreement signed?

But the effort to restore full electricity supplies seemed to indicate an Israeli desire to reduce tensions with the Palestinians, or at least not have them escalate further. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is running for re-election on March 17, is already under pressure because of acute tensions with the Obama administration over his plans to address a joint meeting of Congress next week about the nuclear talks with Iran. Relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority took a turn for the worse after President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party signed a reconciliation agreement last April with Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, contributing to the breakdown of troubled American-brokered Middle East peace talks.

Question: Where did Mr. Shoemaker first hear Mr. Connell?

Over lunch, Mr. Shoemaker said that he first heard of Mr. Connell while listening to the KPFA radio show hosted by the poet Kenneth Rexroth. “He had his growly, gravelly voice,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “and he said, ‘I’ve just finished reading the best book by an American perhaps ever. “Notes From a Beach Found at Carmel” — whatever you do, get a copy, read it, get it, this is one of the great books ever.’ Rexroth had that kind of power.” So Mr. Shoemaker read that book, in 1962. Around the same time, he met Mr. Connell at the No Name, where Mr. Shoemaker had first gone with the Beat poet Lew Welch, whose work he had published. Mr. Welch was dating a local woman named Magda Cregg. “She had a son,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “who became known as Huey Lewis — he chose Lewis because he loved Lew Welch. Lewie always told me that he taught Huey Lewis how to sing.” “Sausalito had the Tides,” Mr. Shoemaker said, “which was a very famous bookstore at the time. It was owned by a couple of people who were friends of Evan’s, a couple of doors beyond No Name. And those guys, the owners, bought the Washington Square Bar and Grill, otherwise known as the Washbag, which was one of the famous North Beach literary bars, famous for their softball team — Herb Caen played, and Claes Oldenburg made them a bat.”

Question: where DR. Fah spent her junior year ?

“But there was an acceptance and a respect between us,” Dr. Fahs said. “Every woman there was respected and taught to have strong opinions. I spent my junior year in Paris, and came back to a campus that was up in arms about the invasion of Cambodia. The Princeton boys came down to lead us, but we were Sweet Briar women and we had learned to be leaders. We stayed in charge.” The Sweet Briar finishing-school moniker hit her only once, when she was at graduate school back in Michigan, where she earned a doctorate in health management and policy. “What were you doing at a place like Sweet Briar?” her adviser asked. By the late 1960s, colleges and universities across the country were struggling to remake themselves, roiled by social revolution, the civil rights and antiwar movements and the nascent feminist advances. In the fall of 1967, Dr. Fah’s classmate Michela English arrived in Lynchburg wearing the uniform of young women everywhere: Pappagallo shoes, a Villager dress and a circle pin.

Question: How many bodies were found in the mass grave?

DOHUK, Iraq — Kurdish officials are investigating reports that a mass grave has been found near the town of Sinjar that holds the remains of more than 70 Yazidis, including older women, a Kurdish security official said Saturday. Kurdish and Yazidi fighters retook the town of Sinjar on Friday from the Islamic State, which had controlled it since August 2014. On Saturday, local officials told news agencies that Islamic State members had executed older Yazidi women, ages 40 to about 80, in and around the town, whom they did not want to keep as sex slaves. The Kurdish security official said that the allegations appeared plausible and that mass graves had been found in other areas that had been captured from the Islamic State. A Kurdish government team plans to excavate the site to try to confirm the suspicions. “For now, it seems credible,” said a Kurdish official who asked not to be named to discuss internal reports. However, he said, further investigation must wait for excavation of the site.

Question: When did napoleon write to Josephine?

“It’s a love story, a children’s book and a fairy tale at once,” Mr. Mosterd said. “Josephine is a lady who comes from Martinique and who makes the most wonderful career ever. She and Napoleon are both self-made people. Alexander is born with a golden spoon in his mouth and has never met self-made people. But he is totally impressed with both of them; these are real friendships.

Question: On what date Samuel Harrell announced he was going home?

On the evening of April 21 in Building 21 at the Fishkill Correctional Facility, Samuel Harrell, an inmate with a history of erratic behavior linked to bipolar disorder, packed his bags and announced he was going home, though he still had several years left to serve on his drug sentence. Not long after, he got into a confrontation with corrections officers, was thrown to the floor and was handcuffed. As many as 20 officers — including members of a group known around the prison as the Beat Up Squad — repeatedly kicked and punched Mr. Harrell, who is black, with some of them shouting racial slurs, according to more than a dozen inmate witnesses. “Like he was a trampoline, they were jumping on him,” said Edwin Pearson, an inmate who watched from a nearby bathroom. Mr. Harrell was then thrown or dragged down a staircase, according to the inmates’ accounts. One inmate reported seeing him lying on the landing, “bent in an impossible position.”

Question: What is the current reality television theme?

The film might have felt fresh and invigorating in, say, 1996. That’s when “Big Night,” a much-admired foodie movie, was released. In recent years, though, mercurial chefs, photogenic plates of grub and kitchen dramatics have been everywhere, especially reality television, both lowbrow and high-end. The food-as-art world has become a bit tiresome, except to those who live in it or can afford to eat this stuff five nights a week. And so pretty much everything in “Burnt,” which was directed by John Wells from a screenplay by Steven Knight and a story by Michael Kalesniko, is something we’ve seen before, though perhaps not so slickly rendered. Mr. Cooper plays Adam Jones, a hot chef in Paris until he flamed out, thanks to a self-destructive personality abetted by substance abuse. As the story begins in earnest, he has turned up in London, determined to make a new start and reclaim his culinary stature.

Question: When was Pussy Riot arrested for protesting?

As international attention to the women’s case mounts, some rights advocates see echoes of the public relations maelstrom surrounding the female Russian dissident group, Pussy Riot, whose members were arrested in 2012 for their protests against President Vladimir V. Putin. Sophie Richardson, the China director at Human Rights Watch, said the five jailed feminists have drawn far more international attention than the scores of Chinese activists who have been detained during the previous two years of an intensified government drive against political dissent.

Question: What was the book about?

“It was a book this thick, but we were free,” joked Mr. Harschel, waving an imaginary building code volume. Mr. Olthuis noted that the house had been built following code for land houses, which, in keeping with a mandate to build greener houses in the Netherlands, stipulated triple-glazed windows, heavy insulation and even a heat exchanger to retain heat from effluent — something that most houseboats, which tend to be light houses on a heavy foundation, avoid. Mr. Harschel estimates that the couple spent 350,000 euros, or $380,000, to build the house (the lease for the lot is €600 a month), and guesses that the value of the property has probably more than doubled in the years since it was built.

Mr. Harschel estimates that the couple spent 350,000 euros, or $380,000, to build the house (the lease for the lot is €600 a month), and guesses that the value of the property has probably more than doubled in the years since it was built.


Question: What state's union footprint has decreased in recent decades?

But it remains unclear what effect months of lobbying have had. “I know we’ve flipped some,” said Greg Mourad, a vice president at the National Right to Work Committee, which supports the legislation. “Whether we’ve flipped enough or not, I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.” Missouri, whose union footprint has decreased in recent decades as manufacturing jobs have moved abroad, is increasingly rare as a Midwestern state without a right-to-work law. Of the states it borders, all but Illinois and Kentucky have some version of the policy on the books. Mr. Mourad said that puts Missouri at a disadvantage when competing with its neighbors to attract a new factory or business.

Question: What is Kyrgios mother's first name?

Remarks from Kyrgios’s family only worsened his situation. His mother, Nill, said his insult was justified because of Wawrinka’s criticism of Kyrgios months earlier, writing on Twitter, “A sledge for a sledge,” while using an Australian term for an insult. Kyrgios’s older brother, Christos, made crude comments about Vekic and threatening comments toward Wawrinka and was kicked off the air during a radio interview for making a crude pun. (The Cincinnati tournament reportedly denied Christos Kyrgios a credential to the player areas, although he sat in the front row for his brother’s match against Gasquet.) Kyrgios on Tuesday declined to answer any direct questions about his or his family’s remarks. On Saturday — on the same court where Kyrgios eventually lost Tuesday — Kokkinakis was again dragged into the fray, ending up in a heated altercation with the American Ryan Harrison, his opponent in the first round of qualifying. After a testy handshake ended a match full of flare-ups, the two had to be separated by the chair umpire. Harrison then lumped in Kokkinakis — a young Greek-Australian with a prominent earring, like Kyrgios, but generally a far milder presence — with his maligned compatriot.

Question: What non-politician is mentioned?

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 imagery fascinates Sally?

In her pictures of her own family — like “Damaged Child,” with its implication of battering, and “Flour Paste,” in which Jessie’s legs resemble a burn victim’s — Mann punches the buttons of her viewers. Upon discovering that she has stage-managed a scene, some people feel cheated, as if their emotions have been trifled with. “I hope you can get past that,” she argues. “You learn something about yourself and your own fears. Everyone surely has all those fears that I have for my children.” Mann has been criticized for treating violence with an esthete’s dispassion, for bringing out the subtle texture of blood and bruises without offering a clear political statement along the way. The imagery of death fascinates her. A picture of Virginia with a black eye moved her for a long time because “you couldn’t tell if she was living or dead. It looked like one of those Victorian post-mortem photographs.” In 1987, Emmett was struck by a car and thrown 50 feet. Though he escaped critical injury, Mann saw the real thing as a warning not to pretend again. Still, “Immediate Family” includes a picture from 1989 that may be the most gruesome so far: a nude Virginia seeming to have hanged herself by a rope from a tree.

Question: What kind of talking device for communication was the unschool troops learned?

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: Who was the one saying: "My friend, the best is yet to come".

Remember Valentino, the Countess’s lost love whose back story we spent two episodes learning? Forget undead, he’s officially dead thanks to Donovan’s jealousy. That’s what you get for bringing a scimitar to a gunfight. While the Countess confronts Donovan, Liz is talking Iris into making a move: “You and I are women of a certain age. We have suffered, more than our fair share. Damn it, we are the ones who should inherit the earth [...] We’re entitled to a second chance. A glorious blazing, final act.” Armed with guns galore (no scimitars in sight) Iris and Liz open fire on the Countess and Donovan, giving “Hotel” it’s first serious cliffhanger. Thus far Liz has been right about caftans, books choices and the best way to fake pâté. Let us hope she was also right when she said, “My friend, the best is yet to come.”

Question: When did Mrs. Clinton appear on a late night show?

Moments later, when a college student asked Mrs. Clinton to make a Snapchat video saying, “You’re fired, Donald Trump,” she demurred. “I’m not going to say that,” she said, as if to do so would cross a line. Instead, she agreed to make a lighthearted, quick video for the young man that did not mention Mr. Trump. On Thursday night, when asked about Mr. Trump in an appearance on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Mrs. Clinton said, “You know, I have to say, Seth. I no longer think he’s funny," adding that Mr. Trump’s latest comments had “gone way over the line.” Mrs. Clinton is not the only Democrat struggling to settle on a strategy for responding to Mr. Trump’s campaign, the unpredictable Republican race and what Mr. Trump’s appeal says about the mood of the electorate.

Mr. Camara said he was in the day room, watching a playoff game between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, when he heard a commotion in the hallway. “Me and other inmates, we hear the walls shaking, doom, doom, doom, doom,” he recalled. “Somebody opened up the door and looked outside, and said, ‘Yo, that’s JRock they got out there.’ ” He was on the floor, face down and handcuffed, several inmates said.
