Bridge: March 19, 2023

In the club lounge, Unlucky Louie asked me if I’d heard about the barber college that fielded a football team.“Did they win any games?” I asked.“Not one,” Louie said solemnly. “They got too many penalties for clipping.”Louie got clipped for 100 points in today’s deal — a painful shearing since he could have been plus 1430 points. North’s jump to four hearts showed a weak, shapely hand with good heart support. As South, Louie roared into six hearts, reasonably enough. West found the best lead of a trump. Louie won and started a crossruff that was short-lived: ace of diamonds, ace of clubs, club ruff, diamond ruff, club ruff, diamond ruff.Louie next led the ace and a low spade. West won and led another trump, and that was the end of the contract. With three tricks to go, Louie was left with only one trump in each hand; he had to lose another trick.“You could have made it,” North growled.“My barber asked me h...

How Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole can lift a fatigued Warriors team

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:38 GMT

Steve Kerr’s voice was clear. His pleas heard loud enough for those seated behind the Warriors bench at FedEx Forum to hear.“Shoot the ball!”Kerr’s cries were directed at Jonathan Kuminga — who the Memphis Grizzlies left wide open with the ball from 3. With no option for a pass for a better look, Kuminga took Kerr’s advice and shot the ball from the top-left wing and hit it.Kuminga went 3-for-3 from 3 in the first half and 4-for-7 overall and scored a team-high 24 points to keep afloat a noticeably fatigued Warriors team in Memphis. Though for all his efforts, the Warriors lost their 11th straight road game, 133-119, on Saturday night. But the 20-year-old’s performance provided a glimpse of what could be.The Warriors lack of size and defensive versatility without Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II is having a direct impact on their road woes. Opponents are shooting the lights out from 3 when the Warriors come to town — the Grizzlies sho...

Wolfowitz and other Iraq war hawks had decided that April 9 should be commemorated as “Iraq Liberation Day.”The 2009 celebration was organized and hosted by Viola Drath, a former journalist, longtime socialite, and, at 89, a tireless networker...

Netanyahu urges military chief to contain reservist protest

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:38 GMT

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the military’s chief of staff on Sunday to contain a wave of protest from within the ranks over a contentious government plan to overhaul the judiciary.Netanyahu’s remarks come as Israel is embroiled in a major crisis that has sent tens of thousands of people into the streets protesting every week for the last two months. The divide over Netanyahu’s plans to change the legal system has not spared the country’s military, its most trusted institution, where many reservists have pledged not to show up for duty under what they see as impending regime change.Starting Sunday, more than 700 elite officers from the Air Force, special forces, and Mossad said they would stop volunteering for duty. The typically taboo talk of refusal to serve in a military that is compulsory for most Jews and is highly respected by the Jewish majority underlines how deeply the overhaul plan has divided Israel.Netany...

Syria’s Assad in UAE to mark ongoing thaw in relations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:38 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian President Bashar Assad arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, his first visit to the wealthy Gulf country since the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria last month.Assad, who arrived with his wife, Asma, and a delegation of Syrian officials, was received by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to a statement from Assad’s office.Sheikh Mohammed said in a statement on Twitter that the two “held constructive talks aimed at developing relations between our two countries.”The visit marks a continuation in the ongoing thaw of relations between Syria and other Arab countries, more than a decade after the 22-member Arab League suspended Damascus’ membership over Assad’s brutal crackdown on protesters and later on civilians during the war.International sympathy following the quake appears to have sped up the regional rapprochement that had been brewing for years. Before the tragedy, the UAE had already reestablished ti...

In Chicago mayor’s race, 2 hopefuls reflect Democrats’ split

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:38 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Before they were rivals to be Chicago’s next mayor, Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson both worked in education, though their career paths — like their views on the city’s future — were very different. Vallas was CEO of Chicago Public Schools, appointed by then-Mayor Richard M. Daley after Illinois lawmakers in the 1990s gave control of the troubled district to City Hall. Vallas came to be known as a turnaround expert in Chicago and in other U.S. school districts, supporting charter schools and voucher programs.Johnson taught middle and high schoolers before becoming an organizer for the Chicago Teachers Union, mobilizing thousands during a historic 2012 strike and in actions since that focused on strengthening public schools and the communities around them. It is just one example, but a significant one, of the contrasts between the two men now vying to lead the heavily Democratic city.Johnson is a progressive county commissioner who last month advanced to an April...
