April 15 remembered in 1971 almanac and history notes
On April 15 the almanac notes the 105th day of 1971 with Venus Mars and Jupiter visible at dawn and Mercury Saturn at dusk. It recalls Leonardo da Vinci born this day in 1452 and Lincoln’s 1861 war message, Lincoln’s 1865 death, Titanic sinking in 1912, Castro’s 1959 U.S. visit, and Frost’s quote about radical youth.

Romeo tops on a bold diamonds play in bridge hands
In a bridge tale Juliet comments on Romeos hand as he makes four diamonds doubled for an absolute top score. The narrative details a sequence of heart and trump plays, a late spade ruff, and a confident finish despite East showing out. The column ends with a bridge question: after a four hearts bid over three spades, what is the best next action.
