As growing young men, they sought to serve their country in its time of need.

Dear Abby 4/5

DEAR ABBY: My son, "Marshall," is in an abusive marriage. This week, while his military unit was training in another state, his wife had his cell phone turned off.

She did all this because she was angry with him.

Bridge 4/4

An unknown person said, "A single fact can spoil a good argument." Not having a single card - a singleton - in a suit can spoil a good slam. This week, we have been watching responder announce at least game-forcing values with four-card or better support for opener's suit and at most a singleton in his bid suit.
