“So how goes it at your house?” I asked Unlucky Louie. He has seven children residing at home.“Chaos, as usual,” Louie sighed. “My wife says nobody is more full of false hope than someone who leaves items at the foot of the stairs and expects them to be carried up.”When Louie is declarer, his play is often based more on hope than on technique or logic. When he played at four spades, he won the first heart with dummy’s ace and led the jack of diamonds for a finesse. West took the king and led another heart.DOWN ONELouie won, frowned, took the ace of diamonds and ruffed his queen to reach dummy. He let the jack of trumps ride, winning, but still had to lose a trump to East’s king plus two clubs. Down one.Louie’s play wasn’t hopeless, nor was it best. At Trick Two he should lead the five of diamonds to his queen. The finesse loses, but when Louie wins the heart return, he can lead his ten of diamonds to the jack and finesse tw...

How to Read the Israeli “Kidnapped” Posters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:14:19 GMT

Shortly after October 7, after Hamas entered Israel, murdered over a thousand people, and took more than 200 others hostage, the Israeli artists Nitzan Mintz and Dede Bandaid quickly formatted “kidnapped” flyers with the photographs and names of some of the captives. They said their motivation wasn’t political, that they were looking to work through their “fear in a dark time” by keeping public attention on the captives. Soon, Mintz and Bandaid made the flyers available online, translated into 22 languages, and now the images can be found in cities and on college and university campuses around the world, any place that has a stake in the great game of Middle East politics. Even as some Israeli hostages begin to come home, the posters remain flashpoints of global polarization.Some opposed to Israel’s disproportionate assault on Gaza think the flyers are propaganda, a crass manipulation of suffering designed to cement a bond between the United States and Israel and ensure that Washing...

Thirty years later, United is back in Istanbul and again fighting to stay in the competition — something it failed to do back in 1993.“It was probably the most intimidating atmosphere I ever played in,” then-United midfielder Bryan Robson has said.United’s players probably thought their Premier League match on Sunday against a fired-up Everton seething with resentment at the perceived injustice of a 10-point sanction for financial mismanagement was a tough gauntlet to r...
