Answer to Previous Puzzle
Obsession over six-pack abs puts
swimmer in unsafe water
How Should Declarer
Go After His Tricks?
Dorothy Miller Richardson, an
English novelist, said, “If there
was a trick, there must be a
trickster."
I suppose all bridge players
could be called tricksters, even
though some are more skillful at
prestidigitation than others.
In this deal, South is trying
to bring home nine tricks in
no-trump. After West leads the
diamond queen, what should
declarer do? And suppose
dummy’s hearts were A-Q-10.
Would that change South's plan?
After South opens two no-trump,
showing a balanced hand with
a good 20 to a so-so 22 points,
North is right not to use Stayman
with 4-3-3-3 distribution and such
weak spades. Even if South has
four spades, it is unlikely that
four spades would make and
three no-trump fail. The reverse
would be more probable.
South starts with six top tricks:
one spade, three hearts and two
diamonds. Obviously, declarer
should try to collect three club
winners - but how should he play
the suit?
This is a great example of “lead
up to honors.” South should plan
to cross to dummy three times
with a heart and to play a club
toward his hand. Whenever East
has the club ace or the suit splits
3-3, the contract will come home.
Note that leading a club honor
from hand leads to defeat with
this layout.
If dummy’s hearts are A-Q-10,
it is a much tougher.problem.
If East has ace-fourth of clubs,
South needs three heart entries,
so should play a heart to the 10,
hoping West has the jack. But
that risks going down when clubs
are 3-3. The odds of each line are
almost equal - guess well.

Dear Abby: I’m a
21-year-old man who has
been a successful swimmer
in high school and now in
college. Over the past few
months, I have become
obsessed with developing
six-pack abs. I have nev-
er had much success with
women, and I thought that
looking like a movie star
might finally get me no-
ticed and make me feel
good about myself.
As a result, I have be-
come obsessive about my
diet. I have dropped 10
pounds, mostly muscle,
and my performance in the
pool has suffered. If I don’t
see perfect definition be-
tween every ab and don’t
exercise for at least 2 1/2
hours a day, I feel fat and
guilty whenever I eat. I
have awakened in the mid-
dle of the night worrying
about what I’ll eat the next
day. I’m concerned for the
future when my metabo-
lism will inevitably slow
down.
I have begun to think that
death is a
better sce-
nario than
being fat,
or feeling
that way. I
want to be
-able to en-
DEAR ABBY joy eating
again and
get my life back. I don’t
want to tell my parents or
friends for fear of seeming
weak-minded. Where can I
go for help?
- Feeling Lost In New
Mexico
Dear Feeling Lost:
Physical perfection is no
guarantee that you'll find
love. Liking yourself and
accepting yourself for who
you are is what attracts
others.
Although “looking like a
movie star” can be an asset
- depending upon who the
movie star is - unless you
are secure about who you
are and what you have to
offer, you can’t maintain
a healthy relationship. (If
you don’t believe me, look
at the tabloids and start
counting how many movie
star romances resemble a
game of musical chairs.)
If you truly think that
death might be preferable
to being fat, then you are
in trouble. You may have
a serious eating disorder,
one that could shorten your
life. Most people who have
an eating disorder need
professional help to over-
come it, so the place to go
is to your student health
center. Ask to speak with
a mental health counselor
about what you’re doing
and how you’re feeling. It
is important that you un-
derstand what has caused
this so you can be success-
fully treated.

Abigail Van Buren, also
known as Jeanne Phil-
lips, and was founded by
her mother, Pauline Phil-
lips. Contact Dear Abby

FINAL ANSWER
yueMEK? (xoi> xo boxxow): michx’ woaie’ bVHXMEtr zirtux
THURSDAY EVENING
Business dealings and negotiations
will not be fruitful today. Set aside
time to work on your own tasks,
and avoid being drawn into any
disagreements with your peers.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - By
joining in discussions with people
from different backgrounds, you
will find a space to share novel and
creative ideas. You will broaden
your prospects and find compatible
partners.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - The
health concerns of an older relative
must not be overlooked. Take a close
look at this person’s surroundings
to help safeguard against accidents.
Being responsible will result in an
unexpected reward for you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Stay
away from the spotlight today.
Unless your opinion is asked for,
keep quiet. You could end up in a
verbal tug-of-war or a vulnerable
position.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Don’t
let restlessness or irritability get to
you. Instead, catch up on unfinished
chores that have been nagging at
you. Focus inward and stay out of
trouble.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
Consider modernizing your look. You
can be more stylish without falling
prey to the latest fashion trends. Ask
your friends for help and advice if
you get confused.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - You
will benefit if you put more effort
into achieving harmony at home.
Being agreeable and offering
assistance will help you build strong
relationships and family ties.
