The article notes that South should have led the four of diamonds at trick two to retain control, enabling a ruff and making 11 tricks, given the diamonds were already opened.

A list of clues or word fragments appears, including references to public figures and common terms, forming a puzzle-like item from a newspaper page. The readable entries suggest a fill-in or crossfigure style, with names such as Lana and Josey and references to cultural figures. The item reads as a single, compact word puzzle snippet rather than a full article.
The entry marks Friday February 16, 1962 as the 47th day of the year with 318 to come. Historic events include the 1868 Elks Club founding for charity and brotherly love, 1938 Schuschnigg yielding to Nazi pressure, 1945 American paratroopers landing on Corregidor, and 1959 Fidel Castro taking office as Cuba premier.
