"Quite frankly, I believe people are dying because of price discrepancies, and as a country, I don't think we can allow that to happen," he added. Strickland presented results of a study on prescription drug prices at a forum Thursday at the University of Rio Grande. The study, prepared by the Committee on Government Reform, found those without full health coverage - primarily senior citizens are paying higher prices than those included in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). Additionally, citizens in Mexico and Canada pay significantly less for the same medications than Americans. ·The study examined pricing for five commonly-prescribed medi cations.

The price gap mostly impacts senior citizens on fixed incomes , the congressman noted. Although they receive Medicare, it carries no benefits for prescription drugs, he added . '.'This is pretty un fair, because seniors are likely to have multiple medications and are likely to have to use medication all of .their lives," Strickland said. The situation exists, Strickland said, because HMOs and major carriers receive discounts due to bulk buying. Cheaper pri ces in other countries exist because those countries have laws regulating the price structure which is not done in the U.S.,he added. Legislation is now before Congress to direct pharmaceutical firms to offer prescription drugs to senior citizens at the lowest possible price, Strickland said. Congress should also approve a prescription · benefit for Medicare, he added. But those and other reform measures are opposed by drug firms. "It is the only solution to prevent people from going without their medication or going without food ," he said. Strickland unveiled the study's results last week in Portsmouth and repeated the presentation at the University of Rio Grande to gather support for reform measures. "They may have the bucks, but you have th e numbers to make a difference," Strickland told an ·audience of seniors and Rio Grande students. "You need to express yourself on this issue." 'tVA.

Govemors receiving free football tickets questioned weigh in on overturned motto COLUMBUS (AP) - The chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party says Republican Gov. Bob Taft's acceptance of $2,688 worth of Ohio State football tickets might have violated state ethics laws regulating gifts. David Leland ~ompared the situation with the ·case of Cleveland City Council ~em­ bers receiving free season tickets to Indians game,. T)le Ohio Ethics Conuni'ssion ruled in 1995 that the practice was ille- gal. "I don't see any difference:• Leland told The Columbus Dispatch for a ~tory Wednesday. "This just adds more concern to the governor getting these tickets for free and then scalping them for $50,000 a pop. It seems to me the rationale used in the 1995 ethics opinion would apply to Gov. Taft." The governor received eight free tickets, valued at $48 each, to seven games at Ohio Stadi~ um in 1999. Some of them were passed . on to Republicans who contribu tred $50,000 to Team Ohio; the party's operating account to which donation• need not be dladoaed. David Freel, ethic• commla· alon IXfCUtive director, · declined to comment directly on Taft receiving the free tick- . ers. a gift given to governors by Ohio State University for de cades. " We generally advise public officials always to pay for their own tickers:! he said. But Taft spokesman .Scott Milburn said Freel gave' no such advice to the governor. "What's unfortunate is that if the executive director of the · ethics commission thought there was any problem with this 30-year-old tradition, .then he should have raised it · with prior governors and with this governor," he said. "This is a well"established· an!f wellknown tradition. It's been fully reported and doc1.1mented." Taft disclosed the tickets as gifts on his ethics statement for 1999.

Lawyer: Relatives gratified that appeal alive Tests zalez, who cared for the boy from the time he was rescued last fall until federal agents returned him to his father last weekend, is appealing the federal government's ord~r returning Elian to his father,Juarl Miguel Gonzalez . Lazaro Gonzalez claims the boy should get an asylum hearing; the Justice Department contends only Elian's father can speak for him on immigration matters. The appeals court on Thursday said Juan Miguel Gonzalez has the right to intervene on his son's behalf, but the judges declined to remove the great-uncle from the case until the appeal is heard. Had Lazaro Gonzalez been removed from !he case. Elian's fa~r could have dropped the request for asylum.

The j udges ..denied those requests, instead accepting the government's offer to supply two reports each month about Elian from a psychiatrist and a social worker. ~ ' 't LOCAL STOCKS GLAOIATOR (R) I DREAMED OF AFRICIA ALL ACES, ALL TIME S S4. 00 ,.. .

The Lima Energy Ltd. Plant will use a high-tech, low-pollution process to convert coal and municipal waste into synthetic gas, which will be used to power a turbine to produce electricity. The land, which once hou sed the third- largest locomotive manufacturer in the country, is part of 200 acres Berger has designated as part of the Liberty Common Industrial Park.

Bob Taft's acceptance of $2,688 worth of Ohio State football tickets might have violated state ethics laws regulating gifts. David Leland ~ompared the situation with the ·case of Cleveland City Council ~em­ bers receiving free season tickets to Indians game,. T)le Ohio Ethics Conuni'ssion ruled in 1995 that the practice was ille- gal. "I don't see any difference:• Leland told The Columbus Dispatch for a ~tory Wednesday. "This just adds more concern to the governor getting these tickets for free and then scalping them for $50,000 a pop. It seems to me the rationale used in the 1995 ethics opinion would apply to Gov. Taft." The governor received eight free tickets, valued at $48 each, to seven games at Ohio Stadi~ um in 1999. Some of them were passed . on to Republicans who contribu tred $50,000 to Team Ohio; the party's operating account to which donation• need not be dladoaed. David Freel, ethic• commla· alon IXfCUtive director, · declined to comment directly on Taft receiving the free tick- . ers. a gift given to governors by Ohio State University for de cades. " We generally advise public officials always to pay for their own tickers:! he said. But Taft spokesman .Scott Milburn said Freel gave' no such advice to the governor. "What's unfortunate is that if the executive director of the · ethics commission thought there was any problem with this 30-year-old tradition, .then he should have raised it · with prior governors and with this governor," he said. "This is a well"established· an!f wellknown tradition. It's been fully reported and doc1.1mented." Taft disclosed the tickets as gifts on his ethics statement for 1999.

Lawyer: Relatives gratified that appeal alive Tests zalez, who cared for the boy from the time he was rescued last fall until federal agents returned him to his father last weekend, is appealing the federal government's ord~r returning Elian to his father,Juarl Miguel Gonzalez . Lazaro Gonzalez claims the boy should get an asylum hearing; the Justice Department contends only Elian's father can speak for him on immigration matters. The appeals court on Thursday said Juan Miguel Gonzalez has the right to intervene on his son's behalf, but the judges declined to remove the great-uncle from the case until the appeal is heard. Had Lazaro Gonzalez been removed from !he case. Elian's fa~r could have dropped the request for asylum. "The effort of the father, of Juan Miguel Gonzalez, to knock out that appeal immediately, before it is heard on May 11th, has failed;' Coffey said.

The j udges ..denied those requests, instead accepting the government's offer to supply two reports each month about Elian from a psychiatrist and a social worker. ~ ' 't LOCAL STOCKS GLAOIATOR (R) I DREAMED OF AFRICIA ALL ACES, ALL TIME S S4. 00 ,.. .

Under provisions of the 1996 law, no American will be able to get a job, open a bank account , purchase a firearm or even take an airline flight unless his state drivers' li cense conforms to the national I.D. card , and it will be required by Oct. I, 2000, if not repelled.

LOS AN GELES (AP) - After seve n seasons, David Duchovny may not find muc h to nrine creatively in Fox Mulder, Iris character on "The X - Files." But the series - its furure in limbo does still offer its star a training ground for what he really wants to do. . It's that old Hollywood cliche of wanting to direct. This week's episode (airing on the Fox network at 9 p.m . Eastern) gave Duchovny his seco nd chance at writing and directing for "The X-Files." The .hour, titled "Hollywood A.D.;' combines zombies and serious discussion of resurrection themes, religious fanatics and film- · making zealot Ed Wood, yet another tirade by Mulder's boss, and some of the most self-deprecating humor the series has ever featured. In other words, for "X- Files" fans, this one show." How the Hollywood version toys with the has it all, including appearances by Duchovny's wife, Tea Leoni , and his buddy Garry Shandling "real case" and simplifies it hits home with as Hollywood incarnations o f FBI agents Stul- Duchovny "What it boils down to is, you have threely and Mulder. · "Directing the show is great traimng for me;· dimensional people, but when you try to tell a said Duchovny, who would like to tty feature - story about them or tell a TV story, they film directing. "It's an enticement to me, and become less dimensional;' he said. "What bothhaving done two episodes, I at least feel I know ers me is the kind of simplification of myself what it may take to write or direct a movie:' through the character of Mulder." Duchovny's - and Mulder's - dry wit is In Duchovny's episode, a producer shadows Mulder and Scully ro research a studio film that apparent throughout the script. Describing .Scully (Gillian Anderson), the winds up being based .on an X- File. Duchovny said he wanted to explore ' 'real- producer whispers into a tape recorder : "She, ness and fake ness on all different levels. You've Jodie Foster's foster child on a Payless budget."

A federal jury on Thu~sday found james M cDermott Jr,, 48, guilty of conspiracy and secunties fraud, along with Anthony Pomponio, 45. Both men face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison . McDermott, a former chief executive at the investment bank of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, was accused of giving inside information t<;> Kathryn Gannon, his 30-ye~r-old girlfriend. Gannon and Pomponio, a New Jersey businessman, then allegedly made $170 000 in illegal profits. · ' McDermott and his attorney declined to comment after the verdict. Pomponio's lawyer said he would appeal. The judge barred any mention of Gannon's career in X-rated movies, ruling that she could be described to the jury only as an actress, dancer and model who sometimes goes by the stage name " Maryli n Star," McDermott and Pomponio both admitted having extramarital affairs with Gannon but denied they engaged in insider trading. : Gannon is a fugitive. Prosecutors have sought her extradition • from Canada, where she is believed to be living. AP corrects shooting story WASHINGTON (AP)- Based on inaccurate information from a police official,The Associated Press reported erroneously April 25 that a boy shot at the National Zoo had died, and subsequently reported he was declared brain dead so he could be kept alive by machines for organ donation. Doctors at Children's Hospital National Medical Center say the boy, 11, is not brain dead but in critical condition and responding to treatment. 1beme park prices inaease ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -After spending $48 million to build a new roller coaster, a new hotel and a marina, officials at the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio have no problem raising the price of admission by $5. They're not alone. The cost of going to an amusement park is rising all over, with the average adult admission in North America increasing $2.70 over last seaso n to $37. That's the largest increase in seven years, according to a survey of 30 theme parks by Amusement Business, a trade magazme. Park officials said the increases are justified by the investments parks have made in new and better rides. "We supply a full day of entertainment for people of all ages," said Robin Innes, a spokesman for Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Point, which will have 68 rides and 14 roller coasters when it opens for the season May 13. The cost of an adult admission at Cedar Point is nGJw $38. Some parks are also raising the price of children's tickets. Last . week, Disneyland began applying its adult price of $41 to visitors 10 and older. The price previously started at age 12. Half of all visitors receive some kind of discount, said John·Graff, president of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions in Alexandria,Va. · ·south Park''spoofs Reno, raid·· NEW YORK (AP) - Only four days after the Elian Gonzalez raid, Co.medy Central's "South Park" aired a parody that depicted Attorney General Janet Reno in an Easter bunny outfit capturing Romanian contortionists. The cartoon was completed only hours before it was telecast on the cable network Wednesday night, a Comedy Central executive said Thursday. · · In the episode, a rifle-toting cartoon Reno drops from a heli,copter with a team of commandos to grab Romanian quintuplets from a closet, disabling their new family with tear gas hidden in an Easter egg. The girls had escaped from a circus, but Reno ordered them returned to their home country after their father- with a gun to his head - begs for them to come back. As they leave for Romania, the girls have harsh words for protesters who wanted rhem to stay in America -"get a life" - and for the "South Park" kids who harbored them. "You know nothing about Romania , and yet you assume America is so much better;' one girl said. . With that, they left - for a book tour and appearance on "0 pra h." In a perfect world, "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone give Comedy Central their episodes three weeks in advance. They often push those deadlines, but never as dramatically as this week, said Debbie Liebling, a network senior vice president. Last Thursday, Parker and Stone told Lieblin~ they were writing an epiSode that paralleled the Elian Gonzalez case. But it required some furious rewriting after Saturday's real-life raid. For instance, the rough draft had Reno in a bunny suit, but she wasn't conunanding a raid until <~fter Saturday's events, she said. Five injured In school blast .TUBA CITY, Ariz. (AP) -'I\vo apparently homemade explosive devices detonated in a high ·school on the Navajo Reservation on Thursday, injuring five students. One student was knocked unconscious, said Ron Brown of the Navajo Department of Law Enforcement. The others injured at Tuba City High School complained of eye and skin irritation and shortness of breath. All were taken to a medical center for treatment. One device exploded in a bathroom and another in a hallway. The school was not damaged, officials said. The devices appeared to have been made with plastic soda bottles stuffed with aluminum foil, white paper correctional fluid and another tiquid, Brown said. All eyes on Giuliani after cancer ~ disdosure NEW YORK (AP) - Rudolph Giuliani's disclosure that he bas prostate cancer may hamper fund raising for his U.S. Senate campaign Hillary Rodham Clinton to tone and force down her attacks, according to political observers. The New York City mayor didn't provide :iny indication Thursday of how the diagnosis will affect his campaign in one of the most closely watched races in the country. H e did say he would make a more definitive statement in the coming weeks. "I think in fairness to me, to the R epublican Party, to all of the parties and everybody else you need some time to think about it," he said."And I really need to know what the cours~ of treatment is going to be before I can evaluate.... And then , after I determine that, then I will figure out nval or doesn't it or whatever.n He pbru)ed to make campaign appearances in Saratoga today and in Buffalo on Saturday. Assuming it was detected early - the 55year-old mayor said it was diagnosed Wednesday Glulllonl doctors say the cancer is treatable.

Report: Few states use laws .to. strengthen special schools FRIDAY's HIGHLIGHTS WASHINGTON (AP) ·States attempting· to .p romote charter schools are heading in the wrong direction if they don't give the special public schools ample freedom and funding, say supporters in a new report on state laws. "Some states think it's OK to pass a felatively •weak law and still be part of the charter move-· ment," said Jeanne Allen, president of the Center for Education Reform, a privately run school-reform research and advocacy group. "A large number believe it's all right to have charter schools as long as they liberate the system from bad kids," ' Charter schools pf!blic schools created by parents and teachers and run with exemptions from most state laws and regulations- usually represent a public school-choice for parents in poor communities, where schools often struggle. The Washington-based group evaluated the 36 stares and the District of Columbia that have laws governing how charters open and are run - and concluded that just 9 states ensure good charter schools. The ·group - whose newest analysis comes as charter school support widens and intensifies - examined states for policies it associates with strong charter school laws. The best states, Allen said, tended to allow universities and other groups to join school districts in sponsoring charters, make sure those charters g!'t their funding direcdy fiom the .state, approve a variety of schools, and protect charters ' from restrictive teacher union contracts. ... \ • Arizona ranked tint; Mississippi last. Massachusetts got high marks for giving charters schools more direct access to their special pool of state funding. Others like Kansas were panned for opening charters narrowly targeted to troubled kids. The report, · to be released next week, did not include information on student test scores. It counted schools opened in a given state and detailed how and when a state allows such a school to open.

A federal jury on Thu~sday found james M cDermott Jr,, 48, guilty of conspiracy and secunties fraud, along with Anthony Pomponio, 45. Both men face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison . McDermott, a former chief executive at the investment bank of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, was accused of giving inside information t<;> Kathryn Gannon, his 30-ye~r-old girlfriend. Gannon and Pomponio, a New Jersey businessman, then allegedly made $170 000 in illegal profits. · ' McDermott and his attorney declined to comment after the verdict. Pomponio's lawyer said he would appeal. The judge barred any mention of Gannon's career in X-rated movies, ruling that she could be described to the jury only as an actress, dancer and model who sometimes goes by the stage name " Maryli n Star," McDermott and Pomponio both admitted having extramarital affairs with Gannon but denied they engaged in insider trading. : Gannon is a fugitive.

(AP) -After spending $48 million to build a new roller coaster, a new hotel and a marina, officials at the Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio have no problem raising the price of admission by $5. They're not alone. The cost of going to an amusement park is rising all over, with the average adult admission in North America increasing $2.70 over last seaso n to $37. That's the largest increase in seven years, according to a survey of 30 theme parks by Amusement Business, a trade magazme. Park officials said the increases are justified by the investments parks have made in new and better rides. "We supply a full day of entertainment for people of all ages," said Robin Innes, a spokesman for Sandusky, Ohio-based Cedar Point, which will have 68 rides and 14 roller coasters when it opens for the season May 13. The cost of an adult admission at Cedar Point is nGJw $38. Some parks are also raising the price of children's tickets. Last . week, Disneyland began applying its adult price of $41 to visitors 10 and older. The price previously started at age 12. Half of all visitors receive some kind of discount, said John·Graff, president of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions in Alexandria,Va. · ·south Park''spoofs Reno, raid·· NEW YORK (AP) - Only four days after the Elian Gonzalez raid, Co.medy Central's "South Park" aired a parody that depicted Attorney General Janet Reno in an Easter bunny outfit capturing Romanian contortionists. The cartoon was completed only hours before it was telecast on the cable network Wednesday night, a Comedy Central executive said Thursday. · · In the episode, a rifle-toting cartoon Reno drops from a heli,copter with a team of commandos to grab Romanian quintuplets from a closet, disabling their new family with tear gas hidden in an Easter egg. The girls had escaped from a circus, but Reno ordered them returned to their home country after their father- with a gun to his head - begs for them to come back. As they leave for Romania, the girls have harsh words for protesters who wanted rhem to stay in America -"get a life" - and for the "South Park" kids who harbored them. "You know nothing about Romania , and yet you assume America is so much better;' one girl said. . With that, they left - for a book tour and appearance on "0 pra h." In a perfect world, "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone give Comedy Central their episodes three weeks in advance. They often push those deadlines, but never as dramatically as this week, said Debbie Liebling, a network senior vice president. Last Thursday, Parker and Stone told Lieblin~ they were writing an epiSode that paralleled the Elian Gonzalez case. But it required some furious rewriting after Saturday's real-life raid. For instance, the rough draft had Reno in a bunny suit, but she wasn't conunanding a raid until <~fter Saturday's events, she said. Five injured In school blast .TUBA CITY, Ariz.

The New York City mayor didn't provide :iny indication Thursday of how the diagnosis will affect his campaign in one of the most closely watched races in the country. H e did say he would make a more definitive statement in the coming weeks.

"T his place is a lot better for hitters than the Astrodome," Rodriguez said. "All you have to do here is get the ball in the air down the lines and it's a home run . The ball just flies out of here. I love this place." There have been 46 home runs in 12 games at En ron Field this _season. The Astros have lost nine of their first 12 games in their new home and begin a 10-game road trip tonight in Milwaukee. " It wasn't pretty;' Hou ston manager Larry Dierker said. " It was almost over before it began. Now we go o n the road and we get a chance to see if the ballpark's got us psyched out or if we're just playing this badly.

C HICAGO (AP) - In Milwaukee, w here Jose Valentin spent the first eight seasons of his career, a player gets a shiny, brand- new Harley-Davidson when he hits for the cycle. In Chicago, Valentin got a little toy motorcycle. H ey, it's the thought that counts. " Somebody did put a little bike in my locker," Valentin said, laughing, after he hit for the cycle and drove in five runs as the Chicago White Sox de feated the Baltimore Orioles 13-4 Thursday." Unfortunately, most other people will. Minutes before Valentin hit a solo homer in the seventh inning to complete the cycle, baseball announced the suspensions for last weekend's brawl at Comiskey Park between the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. In what is believed to be the harshest penalty for a brawl in 'baseball history, 16 members of the White Sox and Detroit Tigers were suspended for a to tal of 82 games. Nine others were fined for Saturday's bench-clearing brawls, which resulted in 11 ejections. Managers Phil Garner and Jerry Manu el were suspended for eight games each. Detroit coach Juan Samuel, seen throwing punches, got the longest suspension, 15 games. If the Baltimore-Chicago contest had been a sandlot game, it would have been called after the third inning under the 10-run rule. Chicago batted around twice, chased two pitchers and scored 10 runs in the first three innings. .. And that was still long before Valentin completed his natural cycle. Valentin singled in the first, doubled in the second, tripled in the third and homered in the seventh. H e's o nly the fifth player in Whi te S6x history to hit for the cycle. Vale ntin's five RBi s tied his career high. Parqu e (3-1) gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. H e didn't start out too w eD, hitting Brady Anderson , the fi rst batter he faced. It was Pa rque's beanball tha t started Saturday's brawl. · He hit Will Clark in the second, but the O ri6les didn't challenge him. They were. too busy trying to figure o ut a way to stop the White Sox. , Jose Mercedes (2-1) gave up four runs in the ~rst 1 2-3 innings, walking three. He was chased in the second after he loaded the bases with an intentional walk to Frank Thomas with two outs. It was Mercedes' shortest outing of the year. Valentin finished the day 4-for-5. That made him as happy as hitting for the cycle , considering; !i.e went 0-fo r-3 Wednesday night. Devil Rays 7, Angels 3 Dave Martinez drove in three runs and Dwight Gooden, making his 400th career start, pitched five strpng innings, allowing a run on four hits in Tampa Bay's victory at Anaheim. Adam Kennedy led off the bottom of the third with his third homer - the fifth surrendered by Gooden (2-0) in his 17 innings this season - .a nd the Angels scored their final two runs in the ninth off reliever Roberto Hernandez.

"T his place is a lot better for hitters than the Astrodome," Rodriguez said. "All you have to do here is get the ball in the air down the lines and it's a home run . The ball just flies out of here. I love this place." There have been 46 home runs in 12 games at En ron Field this _season. The Astros have lost nine of their first 12 games in their new home and begin a 10-game road trip tonight in Milwaukee. " It wasn't pretty;' Hou ston manager Larry Dierker said.

C HICAGO (AP) - In Milwaukee, w here Jose Valentin spent the first eight seasons of his career, a player gets a shiny, brand- new Harley-Davidson when he hits for the cycle. In Chicago, Valentin got a little toy motorcycle. H ey, it's the thought that counts. " Somebody did put a little bike in my locker," Valentin said, laughing, after he hit for the cycle and drove in five runs as the Chicago White Sox de feated the Baltimore Orioles 13-4 Thursday." Unfortunately, most other people will. Minutes before Valentin hit a solo homer in the seventh inning to complete the cycle, baseball announced the suspensions for last weekend's brawl at Comiskey Park between the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. In what is believed to be the harshest penalty for a brawl in 'baseball history, 16 members of the White Sox and Detroit Tigers were suspended for a to tal of 82 games. Nine others were fined for Saturday's bench-clearing brawls, which resulted in 11 ejections. Managers Phil Garner and Jerry Manu el were suspended for eight games each. Detroit coach Juan Samuel, seen throwing punches, got the longest suspension, 15 games. If the Baltimore-Chicago contest had been a sandlot game, it would have been called after the third inning under the 10-run rule. Chicago batted around twice, chased two pitchers and scored 10 runs in the first three innings. .. And that was still long before Valentin completed his natural cycle. Valentin singled in the first, doubled in the second, tripled in the third and homered in the seventh. H e's o nly the fifth player in Whi te S6x history to hit for the cycle. Vale ntin's five RBi s tied his career high. Parqu e (3-1) gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. H e didn't start out too w eD, hitting Brady Anderson , the fi rst batter he faced. It was Pa rque's beanball tha t started Saturday's brawl. · He hit Will Clark in the second, but the O ri6les didn't challenge him. They were. too busy trying to figure o ut a way to stop the White Sox. , Jose Mercedes (2-1) gave up four runs in the ~rst 1 2-3 innings, walking three. He was chased in the second after he loaded the bases with an intentional walk to Frank Thomas with two outs. It was Mercedes' shortest outing of the year. Valentin finished the day 4-for-5. That made him as happy as hitting for the cycle , considering; !i.e went 0-fo r-3 Wednesday night. Devil Rays 7, Angels 3 Dave Martinez drove in three runs and Dwight Gooden, making his 400th career start, pitched five strpng innings, allowing a run on four hits in Tampa Bay's victory at Anaheim. Adam Kennedy led off the bottom of the third with his third homer - the fifth surrendered by Gooden (2-0) in his 17 innings this season - .a nd the Angels scored their final two runs in the ninth off reliever Roberto Hernandez.

BY I'HI~LIP ALDER Who wrote the following ? "I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Thrgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. I've fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody's going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless I'm crazy or I keep getting better." Bridge deals can be a bit like a boxing match. The defense thrusts with the opening lead. Maybe the declarer will have a chance to par· ry; maybe not. Which is it inJhis deal? · The first defensive offensive(!) · move is West's lead . What would be your choice? Well, you have raised partner's suit, so he knows you have at least three cards there. (As you didn't go on to three spades, you rate to have exactly three cards.) So. you should lead the seven , the high card denying an honor. If West leads the spade seven, East stands some chance of find ing the right defense. To defeat the contract, he mu st win with lhe spade king and switch to the heart four: seven. jack, queen.

BY I'HI~LIP ALDER Who wrote the following ? "I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Thrgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. I've fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody's going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless I'm crazy or I keep getting better." Bridge deals can be a bit like a boxing match. The defense thrusts with the opening lead. Maybe the declarer will have a chance to par· ry; maybe not. Which is it inJhis deal? · The first defensive offensive(!) · move is West's lead . What would be your choice? Well, you have raised partner's suit, so he knows you have at least three cards there. (As you didn't go on to three spades, you rate to have exactly three cards.) So. you should lead the seven , the high card denying an honor. If West leads the spade seven, East stands some chance of find ing the right defense. To defeat the contract, he mu st win with lhe spade king and switch to the heart four: seven. jack, queen. A moment later, when West gets in with the club ace. a heart through dummy's king generates five tricks for . the defenders: two spades, two hearts and one club . If West leads the spade three at trick one, East will assume West has an honor, which must be the jack. Then it would be safe lo start with two spade winners · before . switching .
