<Birthday
Saturday, June 6,1998
In the year ahead, ample opportunities
are likely to envelop you. In order to take
advantage of what is offered, you must
see things through to completion.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A veiled
career opportunity might come your way
today. It's something that must be recog-
nized and acted upon promptly, or it
could be withdrawn. Trying to patch up a
broken romance? The Astro-Graph
Matchmaker can help you understand
what to do to make the relationship work.
Mail $2.75 to Matchmaker, do this news-
paper, P.O. Box 1758, Murray Hill
Station, New York, NY 10156.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) An unwar-
rarited expense that’s got a grip on you
should be brought under control at this
time. Stop wasting your precious
resources. ..
LEO (Jqly 23-Aug. 22) Guard against
impulsive behavior and being a know-it-
all today. Unless someone askS for
advice, don't volunteer any.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you have to
deal with someone prone to exaggeration
today, don’t attempt to top him/her. This
person might get away with a whopper,
but you won’t.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You might be
careless with the possessions of others
today. If a friend lends you something,
treat it with respect.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You must
be persistent when pursuing an important
objective today. Switching tactics could
cause you to veer off course.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Do not
expect others to bail you out of problems
today that are of your own making. If you
mess up the drawing board, you have to
erase your mistakes.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Opti-
mism is an enviable quality, provided you
are practical as well. Be careful today not
to hang your hopes on an unsound
premise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Whimsical
factors aren't likely to carry you through
career matters today. Don’t make the
mistake of relying upon these undepend-
ables.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Your vision
might be severely limited today in situa-
tions where you see only negative
results. Control your destiny by thinking
“win."
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Move cau-
tiously in your business affairs today. If
you get careless or miscalculate, the
results could be painful. Mind the store
and everything should be okay.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today may
be difficult to diagnose. Avoid those who
take you for granted. The harder you try
to please them, the less you’re likely to
be appreciated.
Garfield* by Jim Davis
Yesterday, I mentioned that you
shouldn’t use Blackwood when holding
two quick losers (that is, you are miss-
ing both the ace and king) in a side
suit unless you are absolutely certain
partner has a control (ace, void, king
or singleton) in that suit. When in this
position, if you wish to suggest a slam,
resort to cue-bidding. If partner shows
the necessary control, then you may
wheel out the Old Black.
This deal is an example. But first of
all, how would you play in six dia-
monds after a heart lead?
South opens two clubs, strong, artifi-
cial and forcing. North responds two
no-trump, showing a balanced eight-
plus. When diamonds are agreed,
South cue-bids the heart ace. North
obliges by cue-bidding the spade ace.
This was just what South was hoping
to hear. Now he launches into
Blackwood, before settling in six dia-
monds when a king is missing.
At first glance, it looks as though you
need the club finesse to work. But you
can do slightly better. After winning
trick one, draw trumps, play off dum-
my’s top spades, ruff the spade two in
hand, and cash the remaining heart
winner. Now comes the key play: Cash
the club ace. With your preparations
i complete, cross to dummy with a
trump and lead a club toward your
queen. -
You make the contract any time
East has the club king, and also’when
West started with the singleton or dou-
bleton king. Here, after winning trick
10, West must return a major, which
you ruff in the dummy While discard-
ing your last club.
