Limited U.S. wars leave few winners Since the nation united to defeat the Axis powers during World War II, the U.S. has had trouble “winning” wars, though the results have not been all bad. We had to win World War II. The best result otherwise would have left us isolated by hostile powers dominating Europe and Asia; at the low ebb, the idea of a German invasion and take- over of the U.S. – unimaginable as that might seem – was not out of reason. In Korea, we stopped the invasion of South Korea and drove the invaders back to the Chinese border. We in turn were rout- ed by waves of Chinese “volunteers” and driven back. A truce, still in effect, restored the border between the two Koreas, but the war itself has never ended. After fighting in Vietnam for more than a decade, we pulled our troops out, leaving our allies to the tender mercies of the communists. Many South Vietnamese friends would end up in labor camps – the lucky ones, anyway. Today Vietnam is a thriving, developing Third-World coun- try, where merchandise in airport shops is priced in dollars, not “dongs.” Maybe we lost the war, but won the peace.

To counter that, I simply pluck them off the stem and then store them in a bowl, covered with water. It keeps them hydrated so they last lots of extra days, and it doubles as a great way to wash them off, too. – Paul M., via email Mother Goose and Grimm • Mike Peters This is the same storage method many readers use for keeping celery and carrots lasting longer. However, experts say grapes are to be stored, un- washed, in the refrigerator, loosely wrapped in paper towels or a plastic bag. – Heloise CONVENIENT CHICKEN Dear Heloise: Rotisserie chickens are very con- venient and can be used in many ways. I buy two and chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours to cool them off. It is very easy, at this point, to rip the carcass in half with your hands or a knife, and cut off the meat for use in future meals.

Active or Passive Defense? The question the defenders must resolve on each deal is whether to adopt an active or passive defense. Every deal has its own characteristics, and, even though general rules are frequently helpful, the most reliable guide usually is plain common sense. Assume you’re East and partner leads a dia- Todd the Dinosaur • Patrick Roberts mond against South’s four-heart contract. When you play the ace, declarer produces the king, ob- viously a singleton. If you decide to defend passively, you return a diamond at trick two. Declarer ruffs, leads a trump to dummy’s ace, a club to his ace and con- tinues with two more rounds of trumps. He then plays the king and another club. West wins with the queen, but, whatever he re- turns, the only other trick your side can score is the ace of spades. So South makes the contract, losing only a spade, a diamond and a club. This is a predictable outcome if you play a dia- mond at trick two. South must have very good clubs on the bidding, so you can’t expect West Jim Borgman & Jerry Scott to take more than one club trick. Therefore, your Zits • only realistic hope is to score two spade tricks. To that end, your best shot is to lead a low spade from the A-10-8-2 at trick two, hoping to develop two spade tricks for yourself when and if West gains the lead with a club. This is clearly a time for active defense, even though it presup- poses that your partner has the jack of spades. This assumption is not far-fetched, and it is un- likely to do any harm if you’re wrong. In the actual case, your low spade play at trick two is eminently successful. After partner takes the queen of clubs, his spade return allows you to score the A-10, and the contract goes down one. (c)2014 King Features Syndicate Inc.
