“Your honor,” the District Attorney intoned, “we will prove that South committed a felony, in that he pitched 730 points.”“State your case,” the judge instructed.“We have no objection to South’s bid of 3NT,” the DA began. “South had to assume that North had a few points, else South would miss a good game too often. But when West led the queen of hearts, South won with the ace and led a diamond.“East won and returned his last heart, and South won, took the A-K of spades and ran the diamonds. When he finessed in clubs next, West took the king and cashed three hearts.”EVERY RIGHT“My client did nothing wrong,” South’s counsel roared. “After West’s preempt, declarer had every right to assume East had the king of clubs.”South was guilty. He should force out West’s possible entry early, before his hearts are good. South must win the first heart in dummy and finesse in clubs. He...

Underneath a canopy of leaves, accompanied by a chorus of insects, Beth Kaplan’s gentle voice casts a spell over Twin Oak Meadow, as she teaches an outdoor yoga class one Sunday morning in Tregaron Conservancy in Northwest D.C.“You can bend your knees, it might feel better on the lower back … Just look at the color of the leaves. Feel the wind on your skin,” Kaplan said, as she slowly guided her class through a few stretches.Her classes can vary from more than 10 people to only three dedicated yogis on a particularly warm morning in the woodland gardens near the Woodley Park neighborhood.
