Cat Ballou at Union Square Review

The Union Square screening of Cat Ballou starring Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin receives a mixed verdict. While Nat King Cole and Stubby Kaye provide standout musical interludes, the script and direction by Elliot Silverstein feel thin and overextended, and the hero's arc lacks tension with Fonda and Callan offering tepid performances.

Bridge strategy on missing queen and suit breaks

East inferred South held all missing high spades after West led seven of spades. By playing low, East limited declarer to two spade tricks and forced South to seek a ninth. South chose diamonds for the ninth trick, which proved correct as he sacrificed two diamonds for that path.

Bridge inference and bidding caution in a squeeze play

The article discusses a bridge hand where South must gauge suit breakdown. It argues hearts breaking worse than diamonds, notes East's weak one spade overcall, and advises against opening a borderline hand with no aces and only one king. The dealer holds Spade K Q 8 4 2, Heart 2, Diamond O J 10 7, Club Q J 1 8, and the recommended call is Pass.
