The player we call “Secondhand Rose” was at my club today. When the lesson about “second hand low” on defense was taught, Rose must have been out with Jiggs the plumber.Rose was East in a penny game, and West led a low heart against 3NT. South let Rose’s jack win, won the next heart in dummy and led the nine of diamonds. And Secondhand Rose … with the ace!Rose then led her last heart. South took the ace and cashed four clubs and the king of diamonds. When the queen didn’t fall, he lost a spade finesse to Rose’s king and won only eight tricks.THIRD HEARTSouth could always make 3NT with double-dummy play but would surely succeed if Rose played low on the first diamond. South would finesse to the queen. Even if West shifted to the jack of spades, South could put up the ace and lose a diamond to Rose’s ace to set up nine tricks.When your partner leads a long suit against 3NT, try to win an early trick to return his lead. Set up his s...

Jan. 6 Megadonor Helping Ohio GOP Preemptively Overturn Will of the Voters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:02 GMT

In March, two former Ohio Republican Party leaders were convicted on racketeering and bribery charges in a scheme that federal prosecutors described as the state’s largest-ever corruption case. In total, five Republican operatives were indicted in the plot, which involved a power company bankrolling efforts to elect industry-friendly lawmakers and a new state House speaker who would support a $1.1 billion bailout of a failed nuclear power plant.Now, despite the departure of the convicted Ohio Republican state House speaker and state party chair, the vestiges of Ohio’s GOP are still trying to undermine democracy in the state — and getting help from powerful outside groups.

Henry Kissinger’s Bloody Legacy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:02 GMT

An Intercept investigation, years in the making, reveals previously unpublished, unreported, and underappreciated evidence of hundreds of civilian casualties that were kept secret during the conflict in Cambodia and remain almost entirely unknown to the American people. This week on Intercepted, host Murtaza Hussain talks to Nick Turse, an investigative journalist and contributing writer for The Intercept, about his work to uncover the mass violence Kissinger ordered and oversaw in Cambodia while the U.S. carpet-bombed the country between 1969 and 1973. Turse’s investigation, “Kissinger’s Killing Fields,” is based on previously unpublished interviews with more than 75 Cambodian witnesses and survivors of U.S. military attacks in 13 Cambodian villages so remote they couldn’t be found on maps. Their accounts reveal new details of the long-term trauma borne by survivors of the American war.“It was very hands on. Kissinger was picking where bombs would be dropped in Cambodia,” Turse s...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:23:02 GMT

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — They knocked out Boston. They knocked out Toronto. They knocked out Carolina.Jamie Kompon was not knocked out, despite Paul Maurice’s best efforts.Let’s explain: Kompon is an assistant coach for Florida under Maurice, who is in his first year as the Panthers’ head coach. Kompon made a key adjustment to Florida’s power play earlier in these playoffs, and it paid off when Matthew Tkachuk scored a power-play goal with 4.9 seconds left Wednesday night to give Florida a 4-3 win and cap a four-game sweep of the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference finals.Everyone celebrates going to the Stanley Cup Final in different ways. Tkachuk dropped to his knees and slid across the ice, his arms outstretched. Goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky threw his arms skyward. Maurice walked to the other end of the Florida bench and punched Kompon in the ribs; it was a celebration, a unique one, but a celebration nonetheless.“I wanted to make sure he felt that one as much as I did,” Maurice said...
