Question: Who would run against Clinton if possible?

“I’ve heard that,” Clinton said. “Who knows? Life is so unpredictable.” (On the Jimmy Kimmel show, Clinton confided that if her husband had not been barred from seeking a third term, he’d have gone for it. And if she ran against him, “would I win? Yeah.”) Thinking about the spouse question a little bit more, Clinton told a joke about a successful businessman and his wife who drive into a gas station where her old boyfriend is working. The husband notes with satisfaction that if she’d married him, she’d be the wife of a gas station attendant. “And then,” Clinton concluded, “the wife says: ‘No, if I’d married him he’d be a big success like you.’”

Question: When was Cobb's biography published?

In 1994, Stump published a biography, the subtitle of which called Cobb “the meanest man who ever played baseball.” Leerhsen describes that book as “largely fictitious yet generally unquestioned,” and also slams the movie it helped to spawn, “Cobb,” starring Tommy Lee Jones. Leerhsen cites an interview he conducted with Ron Shelton, the film’s director. Asked about the veracity of a scene in which Cobb fails in an attempt to rape a young woman at a Nevada casino, Shelton said: “That is something that Al and I came up with during the shoot. It felt like the sort of thing that Cobb might do.”

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

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

Question: Who did Mr. Hincapie say beat a confession out of him?

The judge’s ruling came after lengthy hearings, starting in February, during which Mr. Hincapie testified that a detective had beaten a confession out of him and a previously unknown witness, Mariluz Santana, came forward to swear she had not seen Mr. Hincapie on the subway platform when the murder happened. Mr. Watkins, a tourist from Utah visiting New York for the United States Open, was stabbed in the chest on Sept. 3, 1990, in a struggle with at least six young men who had tried to rob his family inside the Seventh Avenue subway station at 53rd Street. Some of the men later said they needed money to go dancing at the Roseland Ballroom. Mr. Hincapie, now 43, was arrested the next day and confessed to taking part. He was one of seven young men convicted of felony murder at two separate trials. Under state law, everyone who takes part in a mugging can be held responsible for murder if a victim dies.

Question: Where were the previous two Grand Slams held?

“Again, it’s a Grand Slam. You play every two days. Today was a great level, was a great match. Now I’m going to enjoy a little bit, watch who’s going to win tonight and get ready for the semifinal.” Wawrinka and Djokovic played grueling five-setters in each of the previous two years in Melbourne, with Djokovic prevailing, 12-10, in the fifth set in the fourth round in 2013 and Wawrinka avenging that loss in the quarterfinals last year. “You know when you play Novak, especially in a semifinal in a Grand Slam, you have to play your best game,” Wawrinka said. “You have to play your best tennis if you want to push him. So far, I’m playing great. I’m confident with my game. I’m happy I won in three sets today. Let’s see.” Djokovic, who beat Wawrinka in five sets in the semifinals of the 2013 United States Open, said he was prepared for another hard-fought match. “I’m ready for the battle,” he said, adding that their last three Grand Slam matches “were the finals stages of a Grand Slam, semifinals, quarterfinals.”

Question: What subject does Schumer take on directly?

As with any young talent, she has a way to go, including as a screenwriter. “Trainwreck” has groaners and dead spots (including a dreary art-film parody with Daniel Radcliffe and Marisa Tomei), and its jokes about race don’t have the penetrating wit that her material on sex and gender does. Like a lot of white people, Ms. Schumer can fumble when latching onto race; unlike a lot of white performers, she takes on race directly. The looming appearance of LeBron James, who plays himself as well as Aaron’s odd-couple-like best friend, may be a heat-seeking gimmick (he’s the movie’s biggest star), but he’s a surprisingly limber comic presence and he helps set up a sharp scene in which Aaron challenges Amy’s bumblingly false claim about having black friends. Amy wiggles through that embarrassment, as she does repeatedly. That could be seen as having your cake and eating it too, but mostly it adds another ding to an often ridiculous, imperfect, recognizable character. (This is, after all, a woman who, when she cuts back on her drinking, donates her booze to a derelict played by Dave Attell.) At times in some of her bits, Ms. Schumer has, like other comics, used fakey apologies as get-out-of- jail cards, as a way to both toss out insults and smilingly refuse responsibility for them. In “Trainwreck,” as in her best work elsewhere, Ms. Schumer is at her strongest when she insists that women aren’t distressed damsels but — as they toddle, walk and race in the highest of heels, the tightest of skirts, the sexiest, mightiest of poses — the absolute agents of their lives and desires.

Question: Who directed "Steve Jobs"?

★ ‘Steve Jobs’ (R, 2:02) This three-panel portrait of the Apple co-founder, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Danny Boyle, portrays Jobs (Michael Fassbender) as a complicated, ambitious man caught in a tangle of messy personal and business relationships. Isolating Jobs at three crucial moments in his career, the film plays like a fast, busy backstage comedy and ends up being a richly intelligent exploration of our ambivalence about technology, genius and consumer capitalism. (Scott) ‘Suffragette’ (PG-13, 1:47) Carey Mulligan plays Maud Watts, a laundry worker in London in 1912 who becomes a militant supporter of women’s voting rights. In telling her story, Sarah Gavron (the director) and Abi Morgan (who wrote the screenplay) hit a few soft and sentimental notes, but they also explore the vital and still relevant connection between feminism and class consciousness in modern democratic politics. (Scott) ‘Tamasha’ (No rating, 2:35, in Hindi) Imtiaz Ali’s Bollywood melodrama begins as an agreeable romance between a vacationing young man (Ranbir Kapoor) and woman (a charismatic but largely squandered Deepika Padukone); morphs into a professional identity crisis for the man; and concludes as a lavish self-serving ode by the director to his own calling. (Webster)

Question: Where was the trial located ?

Three sky divers who parachuted off the 1 World Trade Center tower were acquitted on Monday of the most serious felony charge against them but convicted of three misdemeanors after a two-week trial in Manhattan. A jury in State Supreme Court found the sky divers — James Brady, Marko Markovich and Andrew Rossig — not guilty of burglary, rejecting the prosecution’s argument that the three had entered the tower intending to commit a crime inside it. The jurors decided, however, that the defendants were each guilty of two counts of reckless endangerment and of breaking a New York City ordinance against parachuting off buildings and bridges. They face up to a year in jail on the top misdemeanor conviction.

Question: Who is the lawyer representing Mr. Disisto?

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

Question: What did Kiev request that went nowhere?

From the earliest days of the war, the government in Kiev had asked for military help from the United States.

Question: What bracket of the tournament were Nishikori and Warinka competing to enter?

Nishikori trailed by 6-1 in the third-set tiebreaker before he saved five consecutive match points to level the score at 6-6, sending the resigned crowd into unlikely excitement. But with Wawrinka pinned behind the baseline on the next point, an attempted drop shot by Nishikori hit the bottom of the net tape and slid down onto his side of the court, sending his coach, Michael Chang, similarly slumping into his seat. The error gave Wawrinka a sixth match point, which he converted with an ace for a spot in the semifinals.

Answer: semifinals

But with Wawrinka pinned behind the baseline on the next point, an attempted drop shot by Nishikori hit the bottom of the net tape and slid down onto his side of the court, sending his coach, Michael Chang, similarly slumping into his seat. <hl> The error gave Wawrinka a sixth match point, which he converted with an ace for a spot in the semifinals . <hl>

Question: The Decision Maker app works on which operating systems?

Sometimes, of course, you want an app to make the decision for you without any of your input. That’s where Decide Now, $1 on iOS, is great. Think of it like a wheel of fortune.

Question: What sort of mansion was built for Bon Ami?

A principal draw of Park Slope has always been the rolling meadows and sinuous paths of Prospect Park, a masterpiece designed by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted. The neighborhood, home to about 60,000, stretches west from the park to the rumbling river of traffic known as Fourth Avenue, and south from Flatbush Avenue. There is no unanimity on the southern boundary. Many longtime residents define it as 15th Street; others say the vicinity of the Prospect Expressway. Spurred in part by the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883, a Gold Coast of ornate townhouses and mansions arose around Plaza Street and Prospect Park West. Some of these were later replaced by fine prewar apartment houses, but others survive. On Prospect Park West, a Romanesque Revival limestone mansion houses the Poly Prep Lower School; next door, a neo-Jacobean mansion built for a Bon Ami cleansing powder magnate is now home to the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. At 105 Eighth Avenue, the neoclassical Tracy Mansion, which served for years as a Montessori school, is on the market for $13 million.

Question: How many troops did Russia deploy?

“The Russians have fought what is largely a proxy war in eastern Ukraine — and on the cheap, too,” Mark Galeotti, a military analyst, wrote in Foreign Policy magazine. “Even the government in Kiev, which is prone to alarmism, estimates that Russia has deployed, at most, some 9,000 troops.” But the conflict has also reached a point where Russia would have to commit significant new resources for any further advance, which helped clear the way for a settlement to consolidate its gains, Mr. Lukyanov said. The separatists “cannot advance very much without direct Russian involvement, and Russia does not want to get directly involved,” he said.

Question: What artists influenced Kate Tempest early on?

A wunderkind rapper and spoken word performer equally influenced by Wu-Tang Clan and Joyce, Bukowski and Blake; an English poet whose musical sense of language bridges the worlds of rap and traditional lyric verse; a fan favorite at the Glastonbury music festival who became the youngest winner of the Ted Hughes poetry prize. Such dichotomies not only attest to the 29-year-old Kate Tempest’s gift for shattering — and transcending — convention and conventional genres, but they also underscore the tensions and contradictions that fuel her dynamic art. Tiresias, the blind seer in Greek mythology who lived as a man and a woman, is the presiding figure in her collection “Hold Your Own,” and the contemporary characters in her dazzling story-poem “Brand New Ancients” are also conflicted beings in search of a self. They are torn between confidence and self-loathing, between aching loneliness and the tumult of love, between ambition and a revulsion for the phony accouterments of fame. Ms. Tempest describes these ordinary people as gods, and their quarrels — so reminiscent of the squabbling among the Greek gods on Mount Olympus — are both petty and profound.

Question: What event is celebrated as an example of Polish resistance?

The peninsula, a sickle of land jutting into the Baltic Sea, was the site of the first fighting between Polish and German forces on Sept. 1, 1939, widely regarded as the start of World War II. Just before 5 a.m. that day, the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein, which had anchored off the coast of what was then known as the free city of Danzig, opened fire on the Polish military transit depot on the peninsula. The depot’s 182 soldiers and 27 reservists managed to hold out for seven days in what is known as the Battle of Westerplatte and have been celebrated ever since as an example of Polish resistance.

Question: When do you have hope for the coming season?

Except that it’s beer, not wine, that goes so naturally with baseball, hot dogs, peanuts and conversation, especially under the ideal conditions of afternoon sunshine. I came of drinking age as the craft beer revolution was taking off in this country. I am sad to say that I’ve very rarely had a good beer in a ballpark, certainly not in Yankee Stadium, home of the team I’ve rooted for all my life. Even as great craft brews are available in many ballparks around the country, Yankee Stadium has remained in thrall to the big distributors, squeezing out all but corporate products. But spring is the season of unrealistic hopes, so I can fantasize how I’d stock my ideal concession. First, as a ballgame generally calls for multiple beers, you wouldn’t want the heavy hitters, contemplative barley wines and other high-alcohol brews.

Question: What part of his leg did LeBron hurt?

Of course, in his first game back since a strained left knee and a sore lower back sidelined him for two weeks, James did do a decent impersonation of his kingly self. He played 37 minutes and finished with 33 points on 11 for 18 shooting while collecting seven rebounds and five assists. James’s first points at US Airways Center even came on a reverse dunk. That was heartening news because before he was sidelined, he seemed to have lost a step and, with it, a gear of aggression. In all, James, who was averaging less than a dunk a game before his injuries, had three against the Suns, a formidable team with a 23-18 record. Afterward, David Blatt, the embattled Cavaliers coach, described James’s performance as “terrific” and added, “I just thought he laid it out there.”

Question: What country needed instructions from the Americans?

In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking, and the group generally in need of instruction. “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Which college is involeved in fruad?

With abundant evidence of fraud available at both the federal and state levels, it’s perplexing that the federal government has not promptly granted loan forgiveness for at least some of the people with complaints involving fraud. The Education Department says that the Heald College claims will be decided in November, because the government has made a clear finding of misconduct by the school. The remaining claims, it says, will be decided as swiftly and fairly as possible. The risk is that the department’s legendary bureaucracy will drag its feet and make it difficult for deserving plaintiffs to get relief. In addition, the department needs to do a much better job of reaching out to people who have potential claims. It has promised to build its cases on evidence already assembled by state attorneys general, which should speed the process. When evidence of widespread fraud is uncovered, the department should give broad relief to all the damaged parties.

Question: What kind of maneuvers is accredited to the current prime minister?

Even worse for the aging tycoon, many of his own members of Parliament supported the new president. They are frustrated because Mr. Berlusconi is more interested in sorting out his own legal and business problems than providing a dynamic vision to take the center-right back into power. There is one potential blemish on Mr. Renzi’s victory. He still needs Mr. Berlusconi to push through legislation, especially to finalize the Senate reform. If the pact between the two men is irreparably damaged, the prime minister could yet rue his Machiavellian maneuvers.

That was the anticlimactic feeling here Monday, when Boston 2024, the private group organizing the city’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, put out a much-anticipated report that Gov. Charlie Baker of Massachusetts had asked for by Tuesday. Boston 2024 held a briefing for boosters and the news media Monday morning at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. It gave out gorgeously produced briefing materials, and officials later briefed the governor.

Question: What is the name of the app?

Chime’s sitters in New York cost $17 an hour for one child and an extra dollar an hour for each additional child (the company keeps 10 percent of every transaction), and the app’s automatic payment feature can help ease the awkwardness of settling up at the end of the night. Given the credibility that Chime seems to have earned among parents who have already used the app, it’s a shame that one of its failings is so much more ordinary. I ran across some technical trouble while taking the app through its paces. Mr. Conrad admitted that “there might be a few rough edges,” and another of the mothers I interviewed, Jamie Kosmar, said she had yet to successfully use the app because it still has “a couple of bugs.” The app’s website does not seem to have any of the same problems, however. And as Chime is still brand-new, it seems likely that its developers will be able to clean up its technical troubles. If it does, it could become a reliable alternative to the old-fashioned sitter next door.

Question: Who appointed an employee to interview the children?

In the Central African Republic case, French and United Nations officials have blamed each other for delays in the investigation. According to the children’s testimonies, the abuse began in December 2013. In May 2014, the United Nations human rights office appointed an employee in Bangui to interview children, accompanied by a child protection officer from Unicef, the United Nations children’s agency. In the officer’s six-page report, based on interviews with six victims and witnesses, the children described the features of some of the suspects, including tattoos and piercings, and in one case, a mole.

Question: What species is a close cousin to Zhenyuanlong suni?

A nearly complete, new dinosaur fossil has been unearthed in China, the first in its family to have unusually short feathered wings. The new species, named Zhenyuanlong suni, is a close cousin of the dinosaur predator Velociraptor. Scientists said the new addition, which lived about 125 million years ago, had layers of dense feathers covering its wings and tail, but experts believe that the feathers were more for display than for flight. Stephen L. Brusatte, a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh who was an author of the study published online Thursday in Scientific Reports, said it looked “just like an eagle or a vulture.” The skeleton was discovered in Liaoning Province.

Question: What did Americans find out about Ukrainians during training?

Answer: Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking

<hl> In the first two weeks of training, the Americans found the Ukrainians’ soldierly skills lacking , and the group generally in need of instruction. <hl> “I came into it expecting them not to know much of the basics,” said Sgt. Michael Faranda, who is teaching maneuvers. He was correct. Things “every soldier should know,” he said, they did not. Some even forgot their helmets on the first day of exercises. Still, Sergeant Faranda said, the Ukrainians’ willingness to go into combat was all the more notable for their lack of preparation for it.

Question: Reclaiming the site would keep faith with what?

As for fears about noisy Berliners partying late into summer nights there, the Flussbad may require what Times Square’s pedestrian plazas do: more policing and sanitation. But that’s the trade-off for making a more popular and accessible public space. It would be great if Berliners reclaimed a site that is now for tourists and dead at night. It would be good for the city, too, to recuperate a long-abject waterway at its center, and keep faith with its post-Wall soul. How do you say “cannonball!” in German?

Answer: its post-Wall soul

Question: At the Bilkent University near Ankara, who is the dean of economics faculty?

Russia had also been one of Turkey’s biggest sources of tourists until the past year, when the combination of the fall of the ruble and Western sanctions on Russia for its support of Ukrainian insurgents began steeply eroding the number of Russians who could afford to travel. The decline in tourism was a worry for economists here even before the Russian jet was shot down. “The trade deficit is out of hand, exports cannot meet the import bill, so tourism revenues are a major item in our balance sheet,” said Erinc Yeldan, the dean of the economics faculty at Bilkent University near Ankara. Still, Cengiz Kamil Firat, the deputy director general of general and bilateral economic affairs at Turkey’s foreign ministry, said that the nation’s economy was in better shape than it might seem.

Question: Across which city has trash pilled up the side walks?

“This is a very important indication of how dysfunctional the government is and how incapable it is of dealing with the basic demands of the population,” said Mario Abou Zeid, a research analyst at the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut. Across the city, trash piles have consumed sidewalks and engulfed parked cars, leaving pedestrians holding their noses and retching as the sweet aromas of rotting food waft through residential areas. Parking and gas station attendants forced to work outside have donned medical masks to reduce the smell, and other residents have fled the city altogether.

Question: Who agreed to accompany Helen to the hanging?

⬥ “I’d be delighted,” replies John Delahunt, a student at Trinity College, when the young socialite Helen Stokes asks him to accompany her to a hanging. That colorful street entertainment is one of many striking set pieces in THE CONVICTIONS OF JOHN DELAHUNT (Pegasus, $24.95), a remarkable first novel that Andrew Hughes has set in 1840s Dublin and based on crimes of that period. The lovely Helen seems the perfect mate for Delahunt, who was executed, for killing a little boy, in full view of a mob of 10,000 souls in 1842. Hughes challenges historical accounts of Delahunt’s infamous career with an incisive portrait of an impoverished scholar lured into becoming a paid police informant. Urged by his corrupt handlers to bring them murderers (the big money is always in murder), he starts framing innocent people and then, in desperation, begins committing crimes himself. At once a close character study and a sweeping panorama of the era of “dissectionists” who buy bodies for medical research and the “resurrectionists” who dig them up, this fascinating book is a stirring work of fiction and a perceptive chapter in Ireland’s social history. ⬥

Question: Who are known to be great leaders on and off the courts?

In the end, James and Brown are separated by age and their sports but connected by Cleveland and by a real understanding of the role leadership plays in championship moments. Scoring touchdowns was not the only source of Brown’s greatness, nor are points the sole source for James’s. What Brown did, and what James is now trying to do, is inspire those around them to reach higher than they thought possible. “The way he expresses himself, the way that he plays, and the understanding that he has of what his role is, is very refreshing,” Brown said of James. “It’s rare for a man that young to have that kind of wisdom.”

Question: Who was Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts mentor?

That model has underpinned the basic private equity deal ever since. While at Bear Stearns, Mr. Kohlberg became the mentor of two promising Wall Street types, the cousins Mr. Kravis and Mr. Roberts, who quickly took to this form of deal-making. But others at the firm began to grumble about the three spending too much time away from bread-and-butter business of the firm, investment banking. After an attempt to form a leveraged-buyout group within Bear Stearns was rejected, the three men struck out on their own. With the help of eight investors, including Mr. Kravis’s father and Mr. Kohlberg’s $5 million nest egg, they set up Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company in Midtown Manhattan. Though the early years of the firm were sometimes lean, K.K.R.’s business model proved alluring, prompting a growing stream of competitors eager to reap huge profits from deals made with borrowed money.

Question: What is the name of the person which says that various Giants officials had contacted Pierre-Paul?

Mara said that various Giants officials had contacted Pierre-Paul since the accident, including Coach Tom Coughlin, who said on Thursday that his text to Pierre-Paul immediately after the accident went unanswered. “We’re all concerned about this young man first and foremost,” Coughlin said after a brief Giants workout. “But it is difficult to extend this concern when we feel like he should be here.” Like Mara, Coughlin said that Pierre-Paul’s absence would not sour his relationship with the team. “As far as souring, that’s not going to sour anything,” Coughlin said. “I am concerned about him as a young man and anxious to know exactly what he’s dealing with, and then we will know what we’re dealing with.”
