“I’ll tell you what annoys me most,” Cy the Cynic said to me in the club lounge.“If you must,” I sighed.“It’s when my opponent assumes I’ve made a mistake or will do so,” Cy said. “And then, he turns out to be right!”Cy was today’s West in a penny game. After East opened one heart, North-South bid to four spades, their best chance to score game. Presumably, East would have led the king of clubs against 3NT by North, and Cy would have kept his four spades against five diamonds by South.Cy did well to lead a club against four spades. With a heart lead, South could take the ace, take three high trumps and start the diamonds, losing a trump and two clubs. But when East led three rounds of clubs, South had to ruff and was threatened with loss of control.“He cashed the A-K of trumps, not best” Cy told me, “and then led diamonds. On the third diamond, I ruffed and led a heart. South won, drew my last ...

Fowler, McIlroy, Scheffler headline final round in a US Open full of possibilities

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:10:24 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — At the top of the U.S. Open leaderboard there are two players each going for their first major title. That’s about all they have in common. Rickie Fowler has contended in majors, won nine tournaments across the globe and has long been one of golf’s most recognizable players. Wyndham Clark is playing in only his seventh major and, no matter how he plays Sunday, this will mark the first time he’s finished better than 75th.“It’s a little surreal to be in this situation,” Clark said. In a way, the player one shot behind them, Rory McIlroy, feels the same. He is trying to break a nine-year drought without a major. He starts the day one shot behind the leaders. Does the fact he’s won four of these, including the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional, give him an edge? “I don’t know,” he said. “It’s been such a long time since I’ve done it.”McIlroy is paired with Scottie Scheffler, who trails the leaders by three. With a win, he would join Tiger W...

Rob Schwartz stumbled upon the forgotten manuscripts of his late father, Morrie Schwartz. Now, he wants to honor his father’s legacy by publishing his words.Morrie was the subject of the best-selling book “Tuesdays with Morrie.” The book was written by one of Morrie’s students at Brandeis University, who visited Morrie during his final days battling ALS.His son is remembering his father by posthumously publishing his book “The Wisdom of Morrie: Living and Aging Creatively and Joyfully.”“When I rediscovered the manuscript in the early 2000s I thought it really had a lot of very valuable insights,” Rob said.Morrie wrote the book from 1988 to 1992 before he was diagnosed with ALS, but the disease prevented him from ever pursuing publishing.“It’s very prescient, I mean he discusses stuff in the book that we’re just starting to discuss now — ageism, how pernicious ageism is, how elderly people have a great role to play in our society,” Rob said.Rob said the ...

Projections indicate Swiss approve climate bill as Alpine nation’s glaciers succumb to warming

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:10:24 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — A majority of Swiss citizens on Sunday voted in favor of a bill aimed at introducing new climate measures to sharply curb the rich Alpine nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, first projections indicated.Projections by the GFS Bern Institute based on early vote counting and released by public broadcaster SRF showed that 58% of voters were in favor of the bill. The margin of error was 3%, SRF reported. It was not clear how many of the votes had already been voted.Exact results are expected later in the day.The referendum was sparked by a campaign by scientists and environmentalists to save Switzerland’s iconic glaciers, which are melting away at an alarming rate. Campaigners initially proposed even more ambitious measures but later backed a government plan that requires Switzerland to achieve “net zero” emissions by 2050. It also sets aside more than 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.357 billion) to help wean companies and homeowners off fossil fuels.The nationalist S...
