Oswald Jacoby outlines a bridge bidding problem from the World Championship tourney where Italian methods falter. South opens spade, North raises to two, East overcalls three hearts, South passes, West goes to four hearts and East wins two clubs, a diamond and a spade.
The Almanac notes today's date as Tuesday August 28 1962 the 240th day of the year with 125 remaining. It lists celestial highlights Mars and Jupiter in the morning and Jupiter Saturn and Venus in the evening and marks Virgo as the sun sign. It recalls historic events: 1833 slavery ban in the British empire 1917 suffragettes arrested 1922 WEAF first commercial radio broadcast 1941 Japan seeks peace with Roosevelt.
In a delicate bridge contest, the Italian South opened three spades. West bid four hearts and North sacrificed at four spades. The defense cashed two tricks in each red suit, yet failed to prevent the trump winner. If the East hand swapped the queen of clubs and three of diamonds for Norths jacks of diamonds and clubs, North and South could still take eight spades and East-West would claim four hearts.
