1 Coming to the Lyric: We
all know Peter Yarrow as a
folk singer famous as part of the
1960s folk music trio Peter, Paul
and Mary. And maybe you know
he co-wrote one of the group’s
greatest hits, “Puff, the Magic
Dragon.” But did you know, be-
fore all that, according to Wiki-
pedia, the Manhattan-born son
of Ukrainian Jewish immigrants
graduated second in his class
with a physics prize from New
York’s High School of Music and
Art, studied painting and earned
a BA in psychology from Cor-
nell? He actually began singing in
public during his last year there,
in a popular American Folk Liter-
ature course. As a political activ-
ist, Yarrow has supported many
causes, including Operation
Respect, an organization that
promotes tolerance and civility
in schools. Presented by Temple
Beth El Israel, the folksinger and
his guitar will take the stage at
Stuart’s Lyric Theatre on Satur-
day, Nov 10. Time: 7 p.m. Tickets:

Bridge experts sometimes hide their secrets by means of ruse — as in this week’s deal. K53

East’s two-diamond opening showed a weak major two-suiter. (This gadget is becoming
increasingly popular in the tournament world.) Hung started with a takeout double, Dealer: East; Vulnerable: North-South
being a tad wary about his short holdings in the majors, but when West pre-empted to
three hearts, Hung bid three no-trump, hoping for the best. The Bidding:

After West led the heart king, and East encouraged with the three (upside-down SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING

South had eight winners: two spades, one heart, four diamonds and one club. Extra 3 NT Pass Pass Pass K Hearts
winners could have been established in clubs, but that involved losing the lead and,
presumably, watching the opponents run their hearts. Was there a possibility?

Hung found a play that would have occurred to almost no one. At trick two, he returned
the heart 10! Yes, West, given his partner’s signal at trick one, should have played low,
but he won with his queen and shifted to a spade.

Declarer won with dummy’s ace, cashed the diamonds, then played the ace and another
club. The heart suit was blocked, so the defenders took only one club and three hearts.

If South’s ruse had not worked, he would have rued not being in five — or, here, six! — clubs.
