Card Play in 1996 Regional Knockout Spurs Debate
In a regional knockout two North South pairs reached four spades with similar auctions. At table one Mike Kamil as West led clubs hoping for a ruff after an ace. Declarer misguessed by crossing to hand with a diamond, letting Becker deny the ruff by discarding. Table two featured a nameless declarer who trumped clubs early and then ruffed, gaining the lead and sealing the game after a spade finessing.

Rock stars die young more often study shows
A Liverpool John Moores University study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health finds rock and pop stars are more than twice as likely to die early compared with peers of similar age and background. Among 1,064 artists, 100 deaths occurred, with average ages at death 42 in North America and 35 in Europe, driven by long term drug and alcohol issues and dangerous early fame.

Gere Theron Clooney attack Bush at Venice film festival
Richard Gere and Charlize Theron joined peers in criticizing the Bush administration at Venice. Gere questioned the 2000 and 2004 elections while promoting The Hunting Party and Theron faulted wartime decisions over Iraq stating facts were lacking and patriotic manipulation occurred. Clooney said Syriana and Good Night Good Luck arose from anger over being labeled a traitor for questioning war. The festival closes with the Golden Lion prize Saturday.
