Question: Who was Dead's frontman?

“When I agreed to do Dead 50, my stipulation was, ‘That’s it,’ ” he said this week by phone from his home in Marin. Touring with the rest of the group “was a nonstarter from the beginning,” he added. “It was just understood. They were all ready before we even started rehearsals, talking about going out themselves. I’m just not into touring, and those guys are.” (Citing rehearsal obligations, the members of Dead & Company declined to comment.) Still, the anniversary shows demonstrated that the Dead’s music was still vibrant — and could find a seemingly endless audience, despite the protestations of some hard-line fans who believe the group died with its de facto frontman, Jerry Garcia.

Question: how long have US women have gone without winning the marathon?

BOSTON —  The American men ended their slump in the Boston Marathon when Meb Keflezighi won in 2014, a cathartic victory that enabled “The Star-Spangled Banner” to play over Boylston Street one year after bombs had exploded there. This year, the United States women are hoping to end a drought that has lasted 30 years. “The marathon gods blessed Meb with that run; it was electric,” said Shalane Flanagan, a native of Marblehead, Mass., who grew up following the race as the daughter of two marathoners. Flanagan finished fourth in 2013 and seventh last year in 2 hours 22 minutes 2 seconds — the career best for an American woman on the Boston course. “Last year was extremely special, just being an American,” she said. “It’s a run I’ll never, ever forget.” The 119th edition of the Boston Marathon is scheduled to leave Hopkinton, Mass., on Monday morning, and this year’s field gives the United States two chances for its first women’s victory since Lisa Weidenbach won in 1985. Joining Flanagan is Desiree Linden, who finished second in Boston in 2011.

Question: What degree did Harper claim her son had worked on?

“Fact: Before my son was even born, I was reading out loud to him from Donald Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal,’” she wrote. “And as for the ‘gesture effect,’ I was practically a mime. And now my son invests in the stock market along with me, turns a profit and is working on a degree in finance. His language and reading skills are phenomenal. I tell you this because it’s not too late for you to start helping your daughter.” It is not clear where — or if — Mr. Harper-Mercer had pursued such a degree. Little has been disclosed about his studies at Umpqua. In California, Mr. Harper-Mercer was enrolled at El Camino College from 2010 to 2012, but officials there would not confirm whether he obtained any degree or certification. Both son and mother moved to Oregon about two years ago; Mr. Mercer said he had not seen either of them since then. Neighbors in the apartment building here where the mother and son lived said that Mr. Harper-Mercer rarely strayed far. They would see him getting the mail or walking down the road to buy a soda at a market, but said he did not appear to have a job in Roseburg and stayed home most of the day.

Question: What is the name of the student that just started a two-year program at Brooklyn Law School?

Though not eligible for the program, Jared Brenner, 25, a recent Brooklyn Law School graduate with a job offer from a large firm to do transactional work for start-up companies, believed it would encourage students to take risks after leaving school. Brooklyn Law School graduates could pursue their passion, he said, knowing that the school would provide some financial relief if that pursuit proved fruitless. Mr. Leipold, of the law placement association, said Brooklyn Law School’s program struck him as unusual, though he noted that other law schools were trying different ways to help students navigate a challenging job market. “It’s a time of experimentation and risk-taking for law schools,” he said. A more common approach, he said, was for schools to finance fellowships for students, often at nonprofits, to help them gain experience until they can find full-time jobs. Such programs can, however, be expensive for the schools, he added. For Brian Hoffman, 25, who, like Ms. Friedman, has started a two-year program at Brooklyn Law School, the tuition-reimbursement program provides some reassurance. “It’s something that I hope I don’t have to bank on,” he said, “but it’s nice to have.”

Question: Who is the star of "People Places Things"?

The fleeting pleasures of “People Places Things,” Jim Strouse’s winsome trifle of a comedy, derive almost entirely from the charm of its star, Jemaine Clement, the New Zealand-born actor best known in America as one-half of the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords. Mr. Clement plays Will, a married 40-year-old graphic novelist and teacher of comic book art whose college classes are perceptive, witty mini-essays on drawing and narrative (illustrated by Mr. Strouse, a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan). The story begins at a fifth birthday party for Will’s twin daughters (Gia and Aundrea Gadsby) in his family’s Brooklyn brownstone. In the middle of the celebration, Will goes upstairs and finds his wife, Charlie (Stephanie Allynne), having sex with their friend Gary (an ill-used Michael Chernus), an Off Broadway performance artist.

Question: What is easy to confuse with causation when reading epidemiological studies?

It is frustrating enough when we over-read the results of epidemiologic studies and make the mistake of believing that correlation is the same as causation. It’s maddening, however, when we ignore the results of randomized controlled trials, which can prove causation, to continue down the wrong path. In reviewing the literature, it’s hard to come away with a sense that anyone knows for sure what diet should be recommended to all Americans. I understand people’s frustration at the continuing shifts in nutrition recommendations. For decades, they’ve been told what to eat because “science says so.” Unfortunately, that doesn’t appear to be true. That’s disappointing not only because it reduces people’s faith in science as a whole, but also because it may have cost some people better health, or potentially even their lives.

Question: Why did the board give a warning?

At the meeting, Mr. Law noted that the board “never said” that two casinos in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region could not work. But he and the other members of the board emphasized that the new proposals had to be an improvement on the earlier projects. State legislation allows for up to four casino licenses outside of the New York City area. But in recommending only three projects for a license last month, the board warned about the possibility of cannibalizing an already crowded gambling market in the Northeast. The board could still decide not to award a license.

Question: Why is Long island an attractive market for solar?

Long Island’s high electric costs have made it an attractive market for solar. About 40 percent of all systems installed in New York are on Long Island, according to the state’s Energy Research and Development Authority. Buyers are “certainly willing to pay more” for a house with the electric bills to prove the savings attached to its solar system, Mr. O’Connor said. But, he added, most lenders haven’t yet recognized that market shift. Arthur Wilson, a builder developing five homes (all presold) with geothermal and solar panels in Middle Island on Long Island, has had his own issues with lenders. He said that an appraisal of $498,000 for the second house to be completed was recently “shot down” as too high by bank reviewers who he said were untrained in valuing green home features.

Question: Who does the author think is responsible for solving the conflicts?

The war against radical Islamic militancy is not our fight. It is a struggle among Muslims for the soul and the future of the Muslim world. In the end, only Muslims can determine the outcome. Make no mistake: We in the United States and the West have an important national security stake in that outcome. But we should not try to win on our own what only local forces can sustain, particularly when our effort to help only makes their success less likely. The United States has a compelling national interest in providing limited but critical support to Muslim allies who are pursuing their own interests, but must avoid playing into the hands of those who would paint those allies as quislings who serve American interests. In the course of exercising such strategic patience we should remember that the threat posed to us by radical Islam, while real, is not an existential one. The extremists may pose a fundamental danger to the moderate majority in much of the Muslim world; but very few American civilians have fallen victim to Islamic terror since 9/11, and Shariah is unlikely to be imposed in Texas.

Question: where were defendants put on trial?

A court in China’s western region of Xinjiang tried two brothers of an American reporter on charges of endangering state security and leaking secrets, according to a spokesman for Radio Free Asia, the journalist’s employer. No verdict has yet been announced in the trials of Shawket Hoshur on Tuesday and his younger brother Rexim Hoshur, which took place on Aug. 19, Rohit Mahajan, a spokesman for the United States government-funded R.F.A., said in an interview. Their brother, Shohret Hoshur, is a United States citizen whose reports on the Chinese government’s crackdown on Xinjiang’s Uighur ethnic group have been criticized by Beijing. The plight of Shohret Hoshur’s brothers — a third brother, Tudaxun, was convicted of endangering state security last year and sentenced to five years in prison — has become an issue between the two countries before President Xi Jinping’s summit meeting with President Obama in Washington next month.

Question: Who else said the practice was a bad idea?

But the strategy has been controversial, and it was criticized by none other than Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, who, a year ago described the practice as a “hidden bailout from European taxpayers.”  Mr. Varoufakis, then a relatively unknown economist, argued that the loans were a potent risk for Greece, which would have to assume responsibility for them if the banks failed. The practice has also been flagged by two German economists as a questionable way for troubled eurozone economies to extract funding from the central bank.

Question: When is the device of Navdy delivering  its first line of products?

This technology is in its infancy. Navdy’s device isn’t shipping until later this year, and it’s not clear if it will work as seamlessly as presented in the video when used in less perfect real-life conditions. But, broadly speaking, the Navdy device falls into a booming category of in-car gadgetry that might be fairly categorized as “you can have your cake and eat it too.” Drive, get texts, talk on the phone, even interact on social media, and do it all without compromising safety, according to various makers of the so-called head-up displays, repeating a position taken by a growing number of automakers who sell monitors set into the dashboard or mounted on it. Some carmakers also display basic driving information, like speed and turn-by-turn directions, within a specialized windshield so a driver can remain looking ahead and not down at the instrument panel.

Question: Who played the Queen?

Still, there are lots of details that the company has yet to get right. Once Aurora drops the spindle after pricking her finger, why does nobody pick up it up? (Ms. Lane actually tripped over it.) Although Tatiana Ratmansky, who played the Queen and is the choreographer’s wife and production colleague, had a great moment on June 8 when the realization that her daughter was dead hit her like a visible body blow, no interpreter has made that mother’s anguish ring consistently true. All the dancers should be taught how to smile with their eyes more than with their mouths. But Ballet Theater, at last, has found itself a “Sleeping Beauty” in which the whole world onstage is engaging, lovely, touching.

Question: When did mastodons become extinct?

When mastodons and other large mammals became extinct 10,000 years ago, squash and gourds could have, too, said Logan Kistler, a molecular anthropologist at the University of Warwick in England and one of the study’s authors.

Question: For what was Mattingly once fined and benched for?

Mattingly’s election to baseball’s Hall of Fame in this, his last year of eligibility, is probably not forthcoming (this year’s class of inductees will be announced Tuesday), a melancholy fact. But then, his playing days as a Yankee had something of a melancholy cast. He arrived for a cup of coffee in 1982, a year after the Yankees went to the World Series, and retired in 1995, a year before they returned. And in the last half of his career he was a diminished player, his skills attenuated by the persistent back problems that forced him to quit prematurely at 34, his spirit likely withered by the mortifying shenanigans of the Yankees’ principal owner, George Steinbrenner, and his minions (who once ordered Mattingly fined and benched for not getting a haircut), not to mention the ignominy of a last-place finish in 1990.

Question: Which other movies of Swanberg's also have appealing honesty and low-key comedy?

“Digging for Fire,” Joe Swanberg’s new feature is, like many of his previous movies, a case study in heterosexual ethics. Its scope is narrow and, the title notwithstanding, it plumbs no great depths. But like Mr. Swanberg’s “Drinking Buddies” and “Happy Christmas,” the film has an appealing honesty and an enjoyably low-key comic style. The opening titles promise a big ensemble, and a good deal of suspense comes from wondering just when some of those intriguing names will show up. It would almost be a spoiler to tell you when and in what capacity they do, but it’s fun to anticipate the arrival of Melanie Lynskey, Sam Elliott, Brie Larson, Chris Messina (who gets naked) and Anna Kendrick (who almost does). Orlando Bloom appears at almost the precise moment you’ve forgotten he was supposed to, wearing a man-bun and an air of rugged weariness.

Question: Where are Bosso army detachments posted?

“We are in control of the situation,” said the army officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. “Anybody who entered the town, nobody came out alive,” the officer said. He would not say whether any troops or any civilians in Bosso had been killed. “People heard gunfire and went home.” Niger’s army has troops based in Bosso, at the edge of the area of recent fighting with Boko Haram. An army detachment is always posted at the river’s shallowest point, which can be easily crossed. Last week, officials in Bosso said they could hear Chadian planes bomb Boko Haram positions across the frontier. Niger’s Parliament is scheduled to vote Monday on whether the country’s troops will join those of Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad to take on the insurgents. Chad’s troops have had notable successes over the past week in confronting Boko Haram along the Cameroon border, retaking at least one Nigerian town. But the extension of the fighting to Niger is a new phase in the war on Boko Haram. Wary of being drawn into the fight, Niger’s government has been careful so far not to provoke the Islamists. Some analysts believe that the Islamists have heavily infiltrated Diffa, a regional capital in the country’s far east.

Question: Where was the event held on Sunday?

“Put Hillary in jail!” a man shouted. Mr. Cruz smiled. “She may already be there,” he said. “But if so, I’ll be sure to bake her a cake and send it to her.” Several voters interviewed across three states on the trip so far said they admired Mr. Trump, and had previously considered supporting him, but had found themselves drifting toward Mr. Cruz. “He’s a Southern guy,” Frank Dolhan, 50, said of Mr. Cruz in Kennesaw. “Trump’s a Northern guy.” Mike Homan, 35, of Dallas, Ga., attended the event with a Trump supporter, Howard Adkins, whom he hoped to flip. Mr. Adkins wondered if Mr. Cruz might be able to preserve the spirit of some of Mr. Trump’s more explosive proposals, like restricting Muslim entry into the country, which he said had veered “unconstitutional, a little.” “It’s a hard thing to do,” Mr. Adkins said, “to stay within our Constitution and keep people out.” An event on Sunday in Trussville, Ala., included residents who had attended Mr. Trump’s rally in nearby Birmingham last month. “They have very similar messages,” said Steve McMunn, 63, who remains torn between the two.

Question: Who did the rhino lose its horn to?

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

Question: What prevented Mr. Disisto from being charged with a crime?

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 charges did Mr. Yu face?

The lawyer, Yu Wensheng, 48, was taken away in handcuffs late Thursday night after more than a dozen police officers forced their way into the family’s Beijing apartment, said his wife, Xu Yan. She said in an interview that the police had confiscated a computer and memory stick from the apartment and had said Mr. Yu would face criminal charges of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” a nebulous, catchall accusation increasingly lodged against Chinese rights advocates. Mr. Yu’s detention comes amid a concerted assault in China on so-called rights defense lawyers, a small but audacious band of legal defenders who have been willing to take on politically sensitive cases.

Question: What did the Jewish extremists wanted to avenge?

The State Department had called for a quick and credible inquiry after footage of the beating spread worldwide. Tariq, who was 15 at the time, was spending the summer with relatives in East Jerusalem when violence broke out over the gruesome killing of his cousin Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16, by Jewish extremists who said they wanted to avenge the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli youths by Palestinian militants in the West Bank.

Question: How did Lundqvist look during their scrimmage?

When practice started, Lundqvist took his place in the same goal he always does, and Talbot took his place at the opposite end. The Rangers began to scrimmage, but much of the action seemed to gravitate toward Talbot’s end. Lundqvist knelt down, waiting. He started stretching again. He looked bored. But the purpose of this practice was mostly to get the players moving around, their blood flowing on their day off, and Lundqvist would probably be better served saving his energy. The series against the Capitals has been grueling.

Question: Who  scored a run in the 11th inning with an all-out sprint from first base?

But David Cone, another Yankees war horse, walked in the tying run in the eighth, and the game went to extra innings. In the top of the 11th, the Yankees scored on a single by Randy Velarde, and all they had to do was hold the lead. They didn’t. In a play that seemed to unfold in slow motion so that you could see the heartbreak coming long before it arrived, Edgar Martinez doubled into the left-field corner off Jack McDowell, scoring two runs, including Ken Griffey Jr. on an all-out sprint from first base.

Question: what is the primary issue for most people?

“The solutions are good for all as they stand,” Mr. Zarif said on Twitter. “There is no need to spin using ‘fact sheets’ so early on.” Reviving the economy is now the primary issue for most people. Mr. Rouhani has been leading an effort to bring down inflation, while the end of sanctions might mean a return to oil production of more than two million barrels per day, only half what Iran once produced but twice its output in recent years. “We need to wait for the final deal to be signed in order to see the positive effects on our economy,” said Hamidreza Taraghi, an analyst close to Ayatollah Khamenei. “But all in all, this statement is close to what we have been expecting.” Nader Karimi Joni, a journalist and former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, said European companies would come back and invest. He added, “The future looks bright.”

Question: The US national team needs what player badly?

“Clint is about scoring goals,” Klinsmann said. “We need Clint Dempsey badly with the national team. We need him in a good spirit.” He added, “The best thing for everyone right now is to let him concentrate really on playing and doing what he does best.” It is unclear if Dempsey will regain the captaincy after the Gold Cup. The Americans open the Gold Cup, the regional championship tournament, on Tuesday against Honduras in Frisco, Tex.

Question: Who did Dawkins remind people of?

With a sculpted physique, inordinate strength and an unusually accurate jump shot for a man his size, Dawkins was expected to be a star in the league for years to come, drawing comparisons to Wilt Chamberlain. He was mischievous and flamboyant — he was known to wear an electric lime-green suit — and fond of rhyming and hyperbolic fantasy musings. (He invented the Planet Lovetron business when he was in high school.) But immature, not technically adept around the basket and resistant to the entreaties of his coaches, Gene Shue and later Billy Cunningham — “I was uncoachable,” he admitted years later — he began his career in the shadows of other N.B.A. big men like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob Lanier and Wesley Unseld.

Question: Who lost the game?

KE’SHAWN VAUGHN AND JOSH FERGUSON Illinois entered its game at Purdue ranked last in the Big Ten in rushing, averaging 114.6 yards a game and only 67.2 yards during its first four conference games.

Question: What were traffic problems caused by?

One of them was Drew Pardus, a safety consultant from Lower Manhattan, who said four bikers ignored a red light and nearly ran him over as he tried to cross West Street with his wife and young son. “They almost hit us twice,” he told a 911 dispatcher. “They are speeding. They are doing wheelies. They are running red lights. They are a menace.” Mr. Steinglass also showed several videotapes in court, filmed by the helmet camera of one of the bikers, Kevin Bresloff. Most were recorded before the bikers on trial encountered the S.U.V. and so have little to do with the assault. Still, the prosecutor made Mr. Bresloff, a Long Island motorcycle mechanic, narrate the tapes, explaining how he and other bikers drove up on sidewalks, ran red lights and did wheelies on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The tapes also show some bikers racing down the highway standing on their seats. Portraying the bikers as a lawless mob is intended to counter the defense argument that it was Mr. Lien and his wife who started the conflict, out of frustration with the traffic problems caused by the motorcyclists.

Question: If Exxon is prosecuted for hding data about climate change, what will the charge be?

But now the leading Republican presidential candidates, with a far bigger megaphone than Exxon ever had, are promoting the very junk science that was hatched, in part, in Exxon’s board room. As a global citizen, Exxon failed miserably, to say the least. A host of organizations, and some politicians have called for Exxon to be prosecuted for fraud not unlike that which tobacco companies engaged in when they hid the risks of smoking. Exxon argues that it was a climate change “pioneer” and didn’t so much deceive the public as stir a broader debate. At least it is now on record as stating the obvious: that climate change is real, and human-caused, and that something — perhaps beneficial to its corporate bottom line — needs to be done. The Republicans did not get the updated memo. Their two leading candidates for office, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, deny the consensus of human-caused climate change. They’re still reading from quarter-century-old Exxon talking points.

Question: How old is the child of the family?

One Saturday afternoon this past winter, when my family and I were having lunch at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during a ritual viewing of mummies and armor with our 5-year-old son, I noticed a young man a few tables away staring at us. He had a notebook and began to sketch; he drew intensely and quickly. I was flattered and vaguely unsettled; he looked like someone in a Todd Solondz movie perhaps up to something not entirely sane. When we got up to leave, he followed us, continuing to draw as he kept pace. He showed my husband the results, explaining that he was a graduate student. My husband accepted the drawing and gave him $10, a gift for which he seemed appreciative.

Question: When was he introduced to the world?

He also played for the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets), the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons. For his career, he averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. More notably, he led the league three times in personal fouls, testimony to his ferocious inside play (and possibly because the refs were never crazy about him), and because he dunked so often and shot well from midrange, his career shooting percentage, .572, is the seventh highest in league history. Darryl Dawkins was born in Orlando on Jan. 11, 1957. He was raised mostly by his mother, the former Harriet James, though Mr. Tyler, his friend, said he remained close to his father, Frank Dawkins. He led Maynard Evans High School in Orlando to the Florida state championship in 1975.
