Bidding theme in American forcing two bid discussed by Oswald and Jacoby
Oswald and Jacoby discuss the standard American forcing two bid with examples from a hand where Smith opens two spades, North raises to three, and South cues clubs. The dialogue notes six spares, diamond control, and the advantage of avoiding a grand slam. A Florida reader asks about worst bids in slam auctions and the tale ends with a nod to KISS.

Ray opposes PERB rule on contract disclosure
Des Moines Iowa Gov Robert Ray criticizes a PERB rule that bars contract disclosure until after employee ratification and would prefer public access to negotiations. He notes the public has a stake and urges transparency while stopping short of seeking board or law changes. He also opposes lowering vote thresholds for public employee union certification beyond current law. The Des Moines statement cites Broadlawns Hospital as a recent example.
