How do you play at four hearts when West leads the jack of clubs?North’s 2NT was a conventional forcing heart raise; South’s three clubs showed a singleton club. North signed off at game; his K-Q were “duplicated” values.The actual declarer covered the jack with the king. East won and led the queen of spades. The defense took two spades, and West also got a diamond. Down one.FIRST CLUBSouth doesn’t want East to get in for a spade shift. On the first club, he must play dummy’s deuce.

Ask Amy: Would wearing this nice shirt really be an elitist thing to do?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:53:46 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband went to a prestigious Ivy League law school. He has never worn any clothing items or hats featuring his school’s logo.I noticed last year that college-team coaches were wearing nice-quality, very attractive athletic shirts. I knew my husband, with his trim but muscular build, would look great in one.I found one with a subdued logo for his law school and was excited to give it to him for his birthday. And he looks great in it!Now that football season has started, I’ve twice suggested he wear it when we went out to casual places – to a winery and to an outdoor restaurant with friends.Both times, he made an excuse not to wear it, and so I asked him why.He has always enjoyed wearing sweatshirts and hats from his undergraduate university, but he admitted he didn’t really feel comfortable wearing this shirt because it would make him look like an elitist.I think he should be proud of attending this law school. It’s all over his bio and CV and in Marti...
