Excerpts show ALBERT EDWARD WIGGAMS discussing aging, self acceptance, and maturity in older women, then addressing crime with a quip about laziness. He cites Dr Taylor on mental epidemics, noting collective emotions can spark events like riots and market crashes.
A jokey Confidential interview with Jeff Chandler reveals a cautious, self aware star. He explains how talent is shown by deal making and money, then a singer and columnist amuse with gossip about Hollywood figures and tabloids. Publicity riffs fade to a friendly, mid century portrait.
A column of anecdotes and observations lists surprising facts from history and science. It notes dairy cattle supplying cream for American coffee, vending machines with oxygen for drivers, Pasteur and Lully, Edison, Kyoto shrines, aurora borealis explanations, and other curiosities with editor notes and playful asides.
The note explains strawberry etymology, saying berries appear strewn among leaves. It states the plant first carried the name strawberry, later evolving to strawberry.
A fragment recounts Christopher Columbus discovering Puerto Rico in 1493 and naming San Juan Bautista, notes Massachusetts issued early colonial paper money in 1690, and mentions that a normal egg contains over 8,000 microscopic holes.
EAST'S three heart jump overcall aimed to hinder vulnerable opponents from finding their best contract. North and South struggled to reach a normal spade game as West opened a singleton heart. South won East's nine with the ace, and dummy's club ace won the second trick. East played the eight and declarer's king fell to West's ace. West led trumps, declarer ruffed clubs, and diamonds forced. West then capitalized with a brilliant play to set the contract.
In a bridge hand the trumping sequence forced the contract. West’s misstep to trump again allowed only two trumps left per hand, letting the declarer save two tricks but go down one. The notes speculated that a trump opening with perfect defense could gain two, while a singleton bid would not.
