Citizens Band craze fades as FCC weighs licensing halt
Washington AP reports CB radio's boom peaked in 1976 with one million monthly license applications and 14 million licensees by 1978 but fell to about 5 million. Officials consider halting new licenses as interest wanes and backlogs shrink, while industry figures cite price cuts and channel congestion as factors. Some see lasting utility in portable car cigarette-lighter units for emergencies.

Elegant route to six without Blackwood in bridge
In a Blackwood discussion from December 14 1987, the article notes the rule of using Blackwood only when a six is desired with three aces and warns against it with worthless doubletons or unbid suits. It also describes an alternative slam method: South opens three clubs, North jumps to four spades, South shows two heart losers with five spades, and North can bid six to force a laydown slam.
