Did you know that Plato was a mid-
wife? No? Well, read this: “My art of
midwifery is in most respects like
theirs; but differs, in that 1 attend men
and not women, and I look after their
souls when they are in labor, and not
after their bodies: and the triumph of
my art is in thoroughly examining
whether the thought which (he mind
of the young man brings forth is a
false idol or a noble and true birth.”
At the bridge table, whether you are
a woman or a man, it would be advan-
tageous to have someone looking after
your interests. When would Plato have
intervened to help South in this three-
no-trump contract?
South won the first trick with his di-
amond 10, cashed the club king and
played a club to dummy’s queen, West
discarding the diamond three.
Declarer continued with the ace and
another club, but East and West de-
fended perfectly. West threw two
spades and East switched to the heart
jack. When South covered with the
queen (ducking wouldn’t have helped),
West won with the ace and returned
the heart three to East’s king. Now
the heart two back left West with the
nine-seven over South’s eight-five.
Plato would have been in action im-
mediately, pointing out that if West is
on lead, the defenders can never cash
four heart tricks. So, South should call
for dummy’s diamond queen at trick
one and continue with a club to the 10.
When it wins, South rakes in at least
10 tricks. But even if West wins with
the club jack, the contract is safe.
No doubt Plato would have conclud-
ed with something about not accept-
ing Greek gifts.

;You may be very fortunate in the year
"ahead because colleagues could also
,'Iturn out to be marvelous companions in
“Social situations. You will have the best of
“both worlds.
-VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be
I&detracked by frivolous interests today.
Try to make your responsibilities your pri-
ority. Wasting time now will double your
work later. Get a jump on life by under-
tanding the influences that govern you in
ie year ahead. Send for your Astro-
iraph predictions today by mailing $2
nd SASE to Astro-Graph, do this news-
aper, P.O. Box 1758, Murray Hill
itation, New York, NY 10156. Make sure
state your zodiac sign.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You might not
jacceed today if you don't finish as
strongly as you started. In order to be
successful, you must be determined and
consistent.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Associates
will have more faith in your abilities today
than you will. Do not let negative thinking
establish your pace, progress or probabil-
ities.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You
should do well today, so be content with
the hand you're dealt. If your expecta-
tions are unrealistic, you could be disap-
pointed.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you
enter into an agreement today, it must be
thought out clearly. If it is not constructed
well, it could come apart at the seams.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Today, if
you fail to follow through on a project in
the way you initially envisioned, the end
result might not be worth noting.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Pay atten-
tion to social decorum today. If you talk
down to others or treat them indifferently,
you could end up with fewer members in
your fan club.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try not to be
too concerned about impressing others
today. If you are just trying to boost your
ego, you might boast or exaggerate.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Strive to be
forthright today, even if it's painful. If you
follow this policy, you won't have to worry
later.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Financial mat-
ters could be tricky for you today. If you
exercise good judgment, you will have
the ability to hang onto what you’ve
already acquired.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) In order to
placate you today, an associate might
make an extraordinary promise.
Unfortunately, this promise might not be
sincere.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You should pro-
tect your interests today, but also share
the proceeds with others if they helped
you to acquire these rewards.
Selfishness could cause problems.
