BY STEVE BECKER A matter of self-preservation The most common form of defense against a suit contract is to force declarer to ruff at every opportunity. One advantage of this procedure is that it keeps the defenders from breaking new suits, but the primary purpose is to completely deplete declarer’s trumps, after which the defenders will be in position to cash whatever cards remain in their long suits. When declarer has a plentiful supply of trumps, he can usually withstand this attack on his trump suit. But when he has only seven trumps divided 5-2 or 4-3, his situation often becomes precarious. Consider this deal where South reaches four spades as shown. West leads a heart, and hearts are continued. Declarer ruffs, and if he now draws trumps, exhausting his trumps in the process, he goes down one. He finishes with only nine tricks -- five spades and four clubs. When he leads a diamond at trick 11, the defenders score the ace of diamonds and two more heart tricks. This result should not come as any great surprise to South. The 4-2 division of the opposing trumps is more likely If the jack of diamonds is taken by than any other, occurring nearly half the ace and a heart is returned, South the time. must be careful not to ruff, which would To defuse this potential threat to his reduce him to three trumps and leave contract, declarer should adopt a more him prey to a 4-2 trump split.

The phrase “all in a day’s work” encompasses quite a lot these days, when a surgeon can routinely perform four joint replacements on Tuesdays, and four-to-five arthroscopic shoulder surgeries on Fridays. Just the previous Sunday night, he is saying, seated at a dark-wood conference table in the PGA Boulevard office of the Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute, he operated on a guy who’d been playing tennis and broke his tibia, the larger of the two bones below the knee. “He’s young, healthy, about 50 years old, lives in a three-story walk-up in New York,” the doctor says, “and his idea of fun is not walking around in a long leg cast for weeks.” Nor did he have to. “I inserted an intramedullary rod into the center of the bone, traversing the fracture site to prevent rotation,” Dr. Leighton says, then translates: The rod acts as an internal splint for the broken shinbone, allowing the patient to put weight on the leg “and get on with his life,” even as the bone heals.
