Judicial selection system worked OK If the screening of applicants by the Supreme Court Nomi- nating Commission ensures that only liberals reach the state’s high court, as critics charge, how did it happen that Gov. Sam Brownback’s first chosen justice was someone as conserva- tive as he is, his former chief counsel Caleb Stegall? That’s because the critics are wrong and the system works. Kansas is among the two-thirds of states that select at least some Supreme Court justices through a commission-based gubernatorial appointment process. As the University of Den- ver’s Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System said in releasing a new study on how states choose justices: “Commission-based gubernatorial appointment, with a well-structured and operated nominating commission, is a proven, effective alternative to other selection methods, which often politicize judges and emphasize campaigning over experience.” The system means attorneys “need not have political connections, a campaign war chest or the support of special interests to apply” and that the decision “focuses on candidates’ experience, character and qualifications,” according to the study. That’s what Kansas’ nominating commission has done for Reclining airline seats just cause trouble 56 years to help governors fill Supreme Court openings.

Value of your set that has been refinished and has replacement parts, $600. Q: When I was 10 years old (I’m 92 now), an elderly family friend gave me his violin. It Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters has a label inside that reads “Anno 17 -, Carlo Bergonzi, Fece in Cremona.” I have been told it might have been made by an understudy of Stradivari. Might that be true? A: Carlo Bergonzi (1683-1747) was indeed a pupil of Antonio Stradivari, and he made violins on his own, too. We receive a lot of questions about violins and can tell you that copies of Bergonzi and other high-quality 17th- and 18th- century violins have been made since the 19th century. It is unlikely that your violin is a real Bergonzi. That doesn’t mean it is a piece of junk, though. Have an expert look at it. Even a professional violinist can give you an educated opinion.

A Grand Slam Let’s say you’re declarer in seven hearts and West leads the king of clubs. You ruff and see that you’re sure to make the contract unless the missing diamonds are divided 4-0. Even in that case, the grand slam can be made by playing the diamonds correctly. Thus if West has the J-9-6-4, you can first cash the king and later finesse dummy’s ten to nullify his diamonds. Zits • Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott If East has the J-9-6-4, you can start the suit by playing dummy’s ace first and subsequently pick up the suit without loss regardless of how East defends. Your only problem, therefore, is to try to dis- cover which defender, if either, might have all four missing diamonds. This is not a difficult task if you go about it the right way. You draw three rounds of trumps, noting that West started with three of them. You next play the ace of spades, to which both opponents follow suit, and at this point the remainder of the play becomes crystal clear. West surely must have had at least six clubs for his four-club bid, and since he’s already shown up with three hearts and a spade, he cannot possibly hold four diamonds. So, if either opponent has four diamonds, it must be East. Accordingly, you lead a low diamond to dummy’s ace at trick six. After West shows out, you continue with the ten. When East covers with the jack, you win with the king, cross to dummy’s carefully preserved queen of spades and then lead another diamond, this time finessing against East’s nine, to bring home the grand slam. Note that if you had started the diamond suit by first playing the king from your hand, the grand slam would have gone down the drain. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
