Since the bidding suggested that dummy might have a club suit declarer could use, West, the Hatter, looked for tricks by leading an aggressive deuce of diamonds. East played the jack.HEART SWITCHAlice had her fingers on the queen when she realized that if the trump finesse lost, West would surely switch to hearts. So Alice won with the ace(!), led a club to dummy and let the ten of trumps ride.The Hatter took the king and, sure enough, led a second low diamond. He hoped East would win and shift to hearts. He was stunned when Alice produced the queen and claimed an overtrick.“Off with his head,” the Queen of Hearts ro...

A video conference connects with Scott Dixon, who has called from his home in Indiana, in the stickiness of a Midwest summer, where it is 6 p.m. on Monday.Dixon grew up in Auckland until his racing dreams took him to Australia at age 16. And then two years later, accidentally, all the way to America. It is in the United States where Dixon has a two-plus decade run as the greatest IndyCar driver of his generation. The first thing he asked The Associated Press was about the Auckland winter weather, laughing at the gloominess as he noted his last return there during its winter season was at least 20 years ago. Come to think of it, Dixon said, none of his friends even call him during New Zealand winter. “Everyone hibernates,” Dixon shrugged. Dixon’s visa status when he first moved to the United States required him to make frequent trips back to New ...
