Question: How much money came from Blackrock's iShares E.T.F. Unit?

Of the $70 billion in net inflows that BlackRock took in this quarter, $35 billion came from its iShares E.T.F. unit — with $18 billion of that flowing into fast-growing funds like high yield debt and corporate bonds. BlackRock now has close to $1.1 trillion in E.T.F.s under management, by far the most in the industry. And that is the rub, in the view of a growing number of academics and watchdogs. On Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund’s financial stability division released a report highlighting how fast funds have grown in areas of the market where it has become harder to buy and sell securities.

Question: What is the occupation of Mr Matuska

PAUL MATUSKA is the closest thing the American West has to a water cop, and his beat includes Needles, Calif., a beleaguered desert town midway between Flagstaff, Ariz., and Los Angeles. About 4,800 people live in Needles, on the western bank of the Colorado River where it cuts a swath in the mud between California and Arizona. The old railroad town is the gateway to the farmland of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation across the river. Mr. Matuska, a hydrologist, is one of about a dozen accountants for the federal Bureau of Reclamation, which controls water distribution along the lower half of the Colorado River. His job is to count the water used by cities like Needles and the farms around them — lands close to the essential Colorado — and make sure they don’t take more than their share of the river.

Question: What does Keith L.T. Wright consider not reforming rent regulations and 421-a?

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: What operation was this associated with?

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: When did Ms. Harper and her ex-husband divorce?

But as she was leaving, the sheriff and his deputies intercepted her and broke the news that her son was the gunman. Ms. Harper, who divorced her husband a decade ago, appears to have been by far the most significant figure in her son’s troubled life; neighbors say he rarely left their apartment. Unlike his father, who said on television that he had no idea Mr. Harper-Mercer cared so deeply about guns, his mother was well aware of his fascination. In fact, she shared it: In a series of online postings over a decade, Ms. Harper, a nurse, said she kept numerous firearms in her home and expressed pride in her knowledge about them, as well as in her son’s expertise on the subject. She also opened up about her difficulties raising a son who used to bang his head against the wall, and said that both she and her son struggled with Asperger’s syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. She tried to counsel others whose children faced similar problems. All the while, she expressed hope that her son could lead a successful life in finance or as a filmmaker. Ms. Harper did not respond to messages seeking comment.

Question: Who is one of Greece's main creditors?

Blockupy is a left-wing alliance of dozens of activist groups from across Europe. Its members include one of the largest German labor unions, the United Service Union, known as Ver.di, and Syriza, the left-wing, anti-austerity Greek political party that is now leading the government in Athens. The European Central Bank is one of Greece’s main creditors, and it is part of the so-called troika of international organizations that are supervising the Greek bailout program that the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is trying to renegotiate. The central bank, along with the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund, is widely blamed for imposing austerity measures on countries that have needed bailouts.

Question: How much did Davis make after Wilson's election?

For John Abraham Davis, a black midlevel manager in the Government Printing Office with 30 years’ experience, the change came almost overnight. Just months after Wilson was sworn in, Davis was demoted to a succession of menial jobs and ended up as a messenger making half his original salary. As his grandson, Gordon Davis, wrote on the Op-Ed page on Tuesday: “By April 1914, the family farm was auctioned off. John Davis, a self-made black man of achievement and stature in his community at the turn of the 20th century, was, by the end of Wilson’s first term, a broken man. He died in 1928.”

Question: What was the size of AMC's setback in the last few years?

AMC, however, is more reluctant to switch game plans. “With all the changes of the world today — whether it’s technology, volume of programming, fewer and fewer shows breaking through — what we remain focused on are many of the things that got us to the dance in the first place,” Mr. Collier said. That strategy, he said, is matching the quality of premium cable on basic cable, and becoming a home for the industry’s best writers and showrunners. AMC had a small setback in the last few years when it was forced to adjust a development process that was described by some in the industry as onerous. The system, dismissively referred to as the “bake-off,” required producers to sketch out in extensive detail what their prospective show would look like after the pilot — forecasting what would happen several seasons down the line. Even then, AMC was not guaranteed to put the show on the air.

Question: On which team does Colin Kaepernick play?

Buffalo has also received solid production from guard Richie Incognito and wide receiver Percy Harvin. Those two talented players had seen their public image tarnished over the last few seasons, but they appear to have found a home with Coach Rex Ryan and are playing a big part in the team’s success. The Giants may have the more impressive trophy case, but for right now the Bills are New York’s best (and, technically, only) team. PICK: BILLS Packers (3-0) at 49ers (1-2) 4.25 p.m. Line: Packers by 9 ½ Colin Kaepernick has always enjoyed playing the Packers. He may have grown up rooting for the team, but he has shown it no mercy, beating it once in the regular season and twice in the playoffs. He has done it with his arm (412 passing yards and three touchdowns in the 2013 season opener) and with his legs (a record 181 yards rushing in a 2012 playoff win).

Question: What was the first assignment for the writer

WHAT a reporter carries out grows, inevitably, from the beliefs and standards carried in. For me, those were set out by the Times editor who first assigned me abroad in 1976, A. M. Rosenthal, and by his successors over the years. Abe called for “keeping the paper straight.” He issued the dictum before my first foreign assignment: apartheid South Africa, a country justly seen as an open-and-shut case of oppression. But even there the need to keep the paper straight demanded, Abe said, that we tell not only the story of the oppressed, but that of all the other major players in South Africa’s tragedy, including the Afrikaner people who built the fortress of racial prejudice that the country had become. Those stories might surprise us, he said, and give us a more textured sense of the truth.

Question: What inspiration does the stilt house take from?

Topas Ecolodge, 11 miles from Sapa, was one of the first foreign-run lodges in the ethnic hinterland. It sits atop terraced rice paddies at an elevation of about 3,280 feet and has panoramic views of the nearby Hoang Lien Son Mountains. The lodge has 25 bungalows and a restored stilt house that was remodeled to reflect Scandinavian design elements. A two-night stay, including breakfasts, train travel from Hanoi and a shuttle transfer, costs $236 per couple. The lodge employs about 60 full-time workers, mostly from six local ethnic-minority groups, Mr. Koppen said. Most of the staff members receive years of language and hospitality training, and the lodge purchases the bulk of its food, materials and decorations locally. The lodge has not yet broken even, Mr. Koppen added, but it was never intended to be what he called a “tourism factory” whose only goal was making money.

Question: What is the first political virtue?

If you think that human nature is good and powerful, then you go around frustrated because the perfect society has not yet been achieved. But if you go through life believing that our reason is not that great, our individual skills are not that impressive, and our goodness is severely mottled, then you’re sort of amazed life has managed to be as sweet as it is. You’re grateful for all the institutions our ancestors gave us, like the Constitution and our customs, which shape us to be better than we’d otherwise be. Appreciation becomes the first political virtue and the need to perfect the gifts of others is the first political task.

Question: What did Mrs. Clinton urge broad policies regarding?

In the wake of Thursday’s attack, Mrs. Clinton made sure to acknowledge that “gun ownership is part of the fabric of many American communities,” before urging broad policies to address gun violence. “We must come together for common sense gun violence prevention reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable, while respecting responsible gun owners,” she said in a statement that was unlikely to offer encouragement to proponents of stricter gun laws.

Question: What did Gus Wenner say was key to doing anything right?

“I think first of all that making mistakes is key to doing anything right,” Gus Wenner said in response. Bringing on great people, he said, is paramount. “Given my youth or inexperience, that is probably more important than it would be otherwise.” Those he seeks advice from, he said, include Tom Freston, the former chief executive of Viacom who many credit with helping make Vice into a rising media powerhouse. Gus Wenner has been hiring coders and designers, working on Wenner Media’s digital infrastructure, seeking out partnerships and pushing more deeply into video. (One of the videos on the site features Mr. Wenner, in 2013, playing guitar and singing in a band he formed with Scout Willis, a daughter of the actor Bruce Willis.) He feels his father’s focus is easily adaptable to a more current vision. “Our mission is to tell great stories, and the lens of what we do just becomes much broader,” he said.

Question: what titles does Arizona hold?

Texas Southern’s Madarious Gibbs led the Tigers with 15 points. But once behind minutes after tip-off, the Tigers never mustered a meaningful run to reverse Arizona’s momentum. “They just overwhelmed us with length, size, athleticism in the first half,” Texas Southern Coach Mike Davis said. Arizona, the Pacific-12 Conference regular-season and tournament champion, will meet No. 10 Ohio State on Saturday for a slot in the round of 16. Last year, Arizona was a No. 1 seed and lost in overtime to Wisconsin in the round of 8. But that team was without the 6-foot-9 forward Brandon Ashley, whose midseason foot injury kept him out of the postseason. Ashley, fully healthy, was the outstanding player in Arizona’s romp through the Pacific-12 tournament last week. Against Texas Southern (22-13), he scored 14 points and grabbed 4 rebounds.

Answer: Pacific-12 Conference regular-season and tournament champion

Texas Southern’s Madarious Gibbs led the Tigers with 15 points. But once behind minutes after tip-off, the Tigers never mustered a meaningful run to reverse Arizona’s momentum. “They just overwhelmed us with length, size, athleticism in the first half,” Texas Southern Coach Mike Davis said. <hl> Arizona, the Pacific-12 Conference regular-season and tournament champion , will meet No. 10 Ohio State on Saturday for a slot in the round of 16. <hl> Last year, Arizona was a No. 1 seed and lost in overtime to Wisconsin in the round of 8.

Question: What would mild cognitive impairment eventually lead to?

The next month, Sandy’s husband, Daryl, from whom she had been amicably separated for 15 years, drove her from Ithaca to the University of Rochester Medical Center for cognitive testing by a neuropsychologist named Mark Mapstone. Mapstone showed Sandy a line drawing and asked her to copy it, and then to draw it from memory 10 minutes later. He read her a list of words and had her recall as many as she could. He gave her two numbers and two letters and asked her to rearrange them in a particular order: low letter, high letter, low number, high number. Thank goodness that last one wasn’t timed, she thought to herself, as she focused all her mental energy on the task. She felt as gleeful as a kid who had earned a gold star when Mapstone said, “Yes, that’s right.” After three hours, Mapstone gave a preliminary diagnosis: amnestic mild cognitive impairment. At first Sandy was relieved — he had said mild, hadn’t he? — but then she caught the look on his face. This is not a good thing, Mapstone told her gently; most cases of amnestic M.C.I. progress to full-blown Alzheimer’s disease within 10 years. When Sandy went back to the waiting room to meet Daryl, she was weeping uncontrollably. Between sobs, she explained the diagnosis and the inevitable decline on the horizon. She felt terror at the prospect of becoming a hollowed-out person with no memory, mind or sense of identity, as well as fury that she was powerless to do anything but endure it. With Alzheimer’s disease, she would write, it is “extraordinarily difficult for one’s body to die in tandem with the death of one’s self.” That day at Mapstone’s office, she vowed that she would figure out a way to take her own life before the disease took it from her. Later that month, Sandy sat down in her upstairs study — painted a rich burgundy, as the rest of the house was, to make the sprawling old place feel cozy — and looked at her Mac desktop computer screen. She had some trepidation about her plan to keep a journal of her own deterioration. But she opened a new document, gave it a file name — “Memoir” — and began to type. She tried to describe the maddening capriciousness of “a mind that could be so alive one moment with thought and feeling building toward a next step and then someone erases the blackboard. It’s all gone and I can’t even reconstruct what the topic was. It’s just gone. And I sit with the dark, the blank.”

Question: What is best known for its use in Wong Kar Wai's luxurious film?

At the beginning of the season we discussed how a hotel makes for a natural horror setting Hidden staircases, strangers coming and going, messes made and erased. Liz Taylor, our stylish concierge and bar tender, has seen it all, but what touches her most is an old couple come to the Cortez to end their lives together. Elegant in her cheongsam, the score remarkably similar to Shigeru Umebayashi’s “Yumeji’s Theme,” best known for its use in Wong Kar Wai’s luxurious film “In the Mood For Love,” Liz decides she’s had enough. “I feel like I’ll never be happy again,” she said. “I pretend that I’m O.K. living in a world without Tristan, but it’s... It’s been difficult. Besides, knowing the Countess, it’s just a matter of time before she slits my throat.” Liz isn’t the only one who wants out; even vampire Iris has had enough: “Donovan was my one true love. I thought when he brought me back from the brink of death, it was because he loved me. He doesn’t love me. He never will.” But while the indifference of Iris’s son is driving her to death, Liz’s son, whom she left behind, is the reason their death pact has to wait. Like in other seasons, the mythology of “Hotel” is fairly standard: unfinished business means ghosts will be trapped wherever they died.

Question: What is Addyi referred to?

Cindy Whitehead, who oversaw a long, but ultimately successful, effort to bring to market the first prescription drug to enhance women’s sexual drive, is leaving her post as chief executive of Sprout Pharmaceuticals. In August, the Food and Drug Administration approved Sprout’s Addyi, often referred to as the “little pink pill,” after rejecting it in 2010 and in 2013 on concerns about side effects and limited effectiveness. Shortly after the approval, Sprout, which was privately held, agreed to be acquired by Valeant Pharmaceuticals for $1 billion.

Question: Who is trying to raise taxes to raise government revenues?

There are some promising signs of progress. For instance, the tax authorities have increased the use of digital filing methods, cutting into the mountains of paperwork. Some small businesses are thought to have benefited from a method aimed at simplifying their taxes. New legislation requiring retailers to estimate the amount of sales taxes embedded in the prices of their products is raising awareness among some Brazilians about the taxes they pay on everyday purchases. That, in turn, seems to be stoking anger about the deplorable quality of the education, health care, policing and other public services they receive in return. Brazil’s economic crisis is opening a new debate about taxes, with President Dilma Rousseff’s administration seeking to resuscitate a tax on financial transactions in an effort to raise government revenues. Other proposals under consideration would raise taxes on fuel and inheritance.

Question: What is the name of the collection?

Success brought a private clientele and the Rubels opened stores on Fifth Avenue and in Palm Beach, Fla. But, by the mid-1950s, the boutiques had closed. The last vestiges of their fame are the vintage pieces that turn up for auction occasionally at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams. Since finding her grand uncles’ archives, Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel has been working on designs and is now reviving the John Rubel brand with the collection La Bohème. Inspired by the shapes and bold colors of Rubel Frères style, the 18 pieces in the collection are made of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, blue and pink sapphires and blue-green tourmalines. “I call it dancing jewelry” she said. “It’s very colorful, very joyful with touches of Art Deco style.” John Rubel’s Modernist-style Rouleau bracelet of curved gold and blue and pink sapphires inspired Ms. Mizrahi-Rubel’s Ginger ring, named for Ginger Rogers, which the buyer can have pavéd with diamonds, emeralds, or sapphires. The Mozambique ruby and diamond ring, named La Divine, was derived from Rubel’s Undersea Flower clip of turquoises, rubies and diamonds.

Question: What aspects of this person's generation are they proud of?

There may be a “liberation” in growing old, but this can change when seniors read the handwriting on the wall. I consider myself part of the baby boom generation, and looking back on our accomplishments, I’m proud. We brought about much-needed cultural change. The baby boom demographic needs to organize again and take a stand against the war on seniors. “The language used to describe the changing age composition of the population is little short of apocalyptic,” Anne Karpf writes. I’ve picked up on this, too.

Question: How many times did the Cavs turnover the ball?

Indeed, James’s return could not fix what ails Love or point guard Kyrie Irving, whose ragged performance produced six assists and eight turnovers. The Cavaliers lost the ball 19 times, and their defense was again missing in action for too much of the game. In choosing to leave Miami and return to Cleveland, James publicly preached patience but seemed intent on winning another title as soon as possible. It seems to be slowly dawning on him that not every player on the Cavaliers is going to take to his mentoring like a seedling to sunlight.

Question: What were Ms. Basford and her publisher surprised to learn?

There are, it seems, a lot of them. Though it is tempting to describe the market for her books as niche, Ms. Basford, a 31-year-old illustrator in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, has quickly outgrown that label. Like Play-Doh, jungle gyms and nursery rhymes, coloring books have always seemed best suited for the preschool set. So Ms. Basford and her publisher were surprised to learn that there was a robust — and lucrative — market for coloring books aimed at grown-ups. When they first tested the waters with “Secret Garden” a year ago, they released a cautiously optimistic first printing of 16,000 books. “I thought my mom was going to have to buy a lot of copies,” Ms. Basford said. “When the sales started to take off, it was a real shock.”

Question: Where is the Sarah Newman Center?

“It seemed that going over poetry with her and singing songs with her was a tremendous way to interact with her,” he recalled. “When we did that, she acted decades younger than she was otherwise.” Convinced that poetry could be therapeutic, he asked the Sarah Neuman Center, the Westchester County campus of a sprawling nonprofit, Jewish Home Lifecare, based near his home in New Rochelle, to let him give readings, and the administration agreed. This year, he felt confident enough about his experience to write about it in The Journal of Poetry Therapy, in an article titled “A Poetry Program for the Very Elderly — Narrative Perspective on One Therapeutic Model.” In it, he argues that without intending to do so, he has developed a curriculum for others to follow.

Question: Who should Catholics not try to convert?

ROME —  Catholics should not try to convert Jews, but should work together with them to fight anti-Semitism, the Vatican said on Thursday in a far-reaching document meant to solidify its increasingly positive relations with Jews. Despite a long history of mutual suspicion and conflict, Christianity and Judaism are deeply intertwined, and Christians should treat the subject of the Holocaust with sensitivity and repel any anti-Semitic tendencies, the Vatican wrote. Titled “The Gifts and Calling of God Are Irrevocable,” the document was issued by the Vatican’s Commission for Religious Relations with Jews. Addressing an issue that has been a sore point between the two faiths for centuries, the commission wrote that the church was “obliged to view evangelization to Jews, who believe in the one God, in a different manner from that to people of other religions and world views.” It specified that “the Catholic Church neither conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed towards Jews.” Analysts said the language in the document seemed intended to put the issue to rest.

Question: What does Amtrak claim most payments from New Jersey go towards?

“Amtrak’s leadership must reflect and determine how they can better manage their current funding to avoid these types of delays in the future,” he said in a statement. Amtrak also depends on money from states, and its relationship with Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey soured last week. On Friday, Mr. Christie accused Amtrak of “abject neglect” of its infrastructure. He said he had asked New Jersey’s attorney general to determine how the state could make sure that the nearly $100 million it pays Amtrak each year was being used properly. Amtrak officials countered that New Jersey Transit’s payments mostly go toward operating costs, like train dispatching and inspections, and for electricity to run the trains, and that in the 2014 fiscal year, for example, only about $13.6 million was left for system upgrades.

Question: What did one of Xinhua reporters do?

With a dearth of information from the government, the market mayhem — and the crackdown that has followed — has created a ripe environment for rumor. On Monday, the website of another official media outlet, China National Radio, published an article from Xinhua stating that an associate of Mr. Xu had been shot and killed by the police while trying to escape. The report was quickly retracted with no explanation and was not available on Xinhua’s website. Later in the day, Xinhua reported on one of its social media accounts that its name and that of one of its reporters were used falsely to spread a “rumor” that the police had killed Mr. Xu’s associate. Xinhua reported the incident to the police. A picture purportedly of Mr. Xu’s arrest, with him in handcuffs and wearing what looked like a white lab coat, was posted on the website of Sina.com, one of the most popular Internet portals in China.

Question: What would be a victory for Mr. Putin

Greek officials have told journalists that Mr. Tsipras will not seek financial aid from Russia. But he has also said that European sanctions against Russia for its aggression in Ukraine are a “dead-end policy.” That stance is seriously harmful because the sanctions are having a real impact on Russia and should be maintained. But they have to be renewed periodically and all members of the European Union — including Greece — have to agree to extend them. Mr. Putin has shown a keen interest in exploiting divisions within the European Union for his own gain. For example, he has recently courted the government of Cyprus by providing it a loan and reaching an agreement that allows Russian warships to dock at a commercial port in that country. Mr. Putin has also cultivated Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary as an ally. And, last year, a Russian bank lent money to the far-right National Front party in France, which is gaining popularity in that country and says it would want France to leave the eurozone if it came to power. It would be a public relations triumph for Mr. Putin if Mr. Tsipras publicly criticized the sanctions while he was in Moscow.

Question: What sport does Kyrgios play?

“These kids, they’ve got to get under control,” Harrison said. “They’re going to get hurt.” Harrison added that he believed Kokkinakis and Kyrgios were hiding behind tennis’s genteel code of conduct. “If he wants to get into it, I will bury him,” Harrison said. “Wawrinka should’ve decked Kyrgios, and I should deck that kid.” Kokkinakis, however, distanced himself from Kyrgios, and said it was unfair to conflate the two. “I let him know — I made it pretty clear that he can’t be doing that,” Kokkinakis said of Kyrgios’s insult. “If he’s got a problem, he’s got to say it in private. The way he went about it definitely wasn’t the right thing.” The elder statesmen of the tour have been similarly indignant. “Obviously it’s the talk of the locker room, and everybody has their opinion,” Roger Federer said. “But I think that we all agree that he definitely crossed the line by a long shot. We’re not used to that kind of talk in tennis.” Federer suggested he might support further punishment for Kyrgios. “A fine is one thing; we’ll see if there’s going to be more coming,” Federer said. “I haven’t heard anything, but clearly it was very disappointing and not great for the sport, one that I think many players have tried to build up and make it a good image. We want kids to be wanting to get into this sport, I guess, because it’s a nice sport, it’s clean, it’s fair, and all these things. I don’t think there should be any room for that kind of talk.”

Question: What place has only produced very few basketball players to play in the USA?

It was during his time in Spain that Porzingis developed the mechanics of his game and caught the attention of N.B.A. executives and scouts, many of whom flocked to watch him on the European circuit and came away impressed by his shooting and mobility. Although Latvia has produced only a few basketball players who have played in the United States, the sport has had a following there since 1935, when the national team won the first-ever Eurobasket European championship. When Porzingis was drafted by the Knicks, he instantly became the country’s best-known athlete and a hero.

Question: When did the Corinthian Colleges collapse?

Answer: last year

<hl> The Obama administration took an important step in the right direction when it created new oversight rules for the industry and stepped up its investigations into companies like Corinthian Colleges — one of the largest operators of for-profit colleges and trade schools in the country until it collapsed last year amid state and federal lawsuits and fraud investigations. <hl>

Question: What pitcher for the Cubs is considered a war horse?

This belief is not born of the syrupy, early April optimism that is bred into Cubs fans. That was beaten out of me long ago, either by so many years as a sportswriter or by Larry Himes’s stint as general manager. (For the uninitiated, he is the one who let Greg Maddux leave.) Instead, there are plenty of perfectly plausible, rational reasons this is really going to be the Cubs’ year. The new manager, Joe Maddon, won’t treat the 107-year wait for a championship as a 107-ton weight. Jon Lester is a war horse of a pitcher, Anthony Rizzo is a franchise cornerstone, and Kris Bryant looks like a star in waiting.

Question: What source was the rally going on for?

Oil had rallied over the previous four days as traders speculated that low prices would force more energy companies to curtail exploration and production.

Question: What is the most recent year riots were a major issue in Cincinnati?

“The city is a lot more vibrant, a lot more to do,” said Dan Carter, 39, a court investigator checking out preparations at the square Thursday. “It’ll be interesting to see what people think.” Civic leaders acknowledge work is still needed, and a Fourth of July melee after a concert at the square is leading to a new assessment of procedures since, as Black said, “downtown is no longer trying to become a destination; it is a destination.” PRAISE FOR THE POLICE Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch made Cincinnati her first stop in May on a national tour studying community policing. The city’s reforms have included increased training and community engagement in the aftermath of the 2001 riots, which were sparked by the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man. Cincinnati’s police have been held up as a national model amid violent protests about the police in other cities in the past year.

Question: What team did James play for Tuesday night?

For that reason, Brown’s task in 1964 seems a little easier than the one James faces now. James’s group, defying the odds, turned back Golden State in Games 2 and 3 to give Cleveland a two-games-to-one series lead, when few people were giving them much of a chance to actually take four games against the Warriors and win the N.B.A. title. Still, to have any shot, James, who had 40 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in the Cavaliers’ 96-91 win Tuesday night, will do well to keep to Brown’s blueprint.
