Skinnier Letters End Postal Mail Backlog
A postal worker argues the Post Office faces a massive task. In 1967 about 80 billion pieces of mail were handled and 1968 is expected to reach 83 billion. If the 3 billion extra letters stacked, the pile would be 2,100 miles high. Stacking all 83 billion would reach 59,900 miles into space, a quarter of the way to the moon. The suggested fix is skinnier letters.

Notable No Trump Hand From New Jersey Bridge Game
In a New Jersey setting reported by Dick Budd in the Declarer, South's aggressive three heart call led to a tense play where he managed trump control and ruffs. Diamonds were driven, spades led, and a sequence of ruffs tested South as he sought to force the last club queen from East and West. East’s high-card distribution suggested a balanced hand and the crucial moment came when South risked clubs, West producing the queen to save him and keep the contract alive before ultimately facing a down result.
