Easter differs from Christmas for faithful and the faithful
The Rev. J C Michael Allen of St Marks in the Bowery notes that Easter draws a distinct crowd beyond secular sentiment and Santa Claus charm. He cites the remnant faithful, the lapsed seeking renewal, and those coping with life as key participants in the holiday observance. Milton Berle adds a light remark that a good laugh is worth six cemetery scenes.

Know Your Bridge Dealing Strategy From B Jay Becker
Declarer faces West hand at Four Spades with first lead a club. After ruffing the ten and seeing South show out, consider cashing the AK of diamonds to establish entry and determine safety. If opponents both follow, abandon diamonds and later cash Q of spades, discarding diamond queen to secure five diamonds. Alternatively, at Three Notrump, avoid cashing QJ of spades early. plan AK of diamonds to test North’s distribution, then adjust. If North holds A-10-8-7 spades and South king of clubs, ducking queen of spades can guarantee contract by controlling suit textures and preserving entry for established tricks.
