Postal Service ‘fix’ another dead end Taking another tack to revive the moribund U.S. Postal Service, a House committee and majority Republicans have turned down yet another dead end street. The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform passed, on a 19-13 party-line vote, a postal “reform” bill that could hurt the service at least as much as it would help. Its principal feature would be to end door-to-door delivery of mail in favor of either curbside mailboxes for everyone or cluster boxes at the end of a block. The committee, chaired by Darrell Issa of California, estimated the savings at $2 billion or more a year compared to postal losses of $1.9 billion in the last three months. Much of the $7.5 to $8 billion loss is accounted for by a mis- take Congress made in 2006, requiring the service to prepay retirement contributions to the federal treasury. This burden – something no other federal agency has to do – threatens to sink the postal system, but Congress refuses to remove it – because the money goes to help reduce the federal deficit. Things actually are looking up a little lately. Postal reve- nue was up 2.3 percent last year and the package business is bright, but the service is competing fiercely – and successfully Grandchildren keep things hopping – against express giants UPS and FedEx.

A Case for the Defense This deal occurred in a pairs event. As happens so often, the results differed strikingly from table to table. Games and partscores in spades and diamonds were attempted with varying success, but the play was most interesting at those tables where the contract was five diamonds. There was nothing complicated about the play Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts at most of these tables. West led the king of hearts and continued the suit after East signaled with the eight or nine. Declarer ruffed, cashed the A-K of trumps and finessed the queen of spades. East took his king and returned a club, but South rejected the finesse, since he had a sure way to avoid a club loser by taking the ace and playing three rounds of spades, discarding a club from dummy. At these tables, declarer made five diamonds. They would not have succeeded, however, had the defense been sharper. At trick one, East should have overtaken the king of hearts with the ace and returned a club. Had he done that, South would have gone down one. • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott It is not an extraordinary feat for East to take the king of hearts with the ace in order to lead a club. He should assume West’s overcall was based on a five-card suit, which in turn means de- clarer has only one heart. East should count on the ace of hearts and king of spades as two tricks for the defense and should conclude that his side’s best chance for a third trick lies in clubs. Once this conclusion is reached, it is clear that clubs should be attacked at trick two, and, obvi- ously, that it must be better for the club lead to come from East.
