With COVID-19 seemingly on the wane, players flocked to the ACBL’s Summer Championships in Chicago.In the Spingold Knockout Teams, the premier event, most seeded teams comprised an affluent amateur plus professionals, many from overseas. The strength of players from outside the U.S. was evident as many highly regarded U.S. “sponsored” teams lost early.Today’s deal arose in the final, Marty FLEISHER vs. Leif BREMARK. (Fleisher and his partner Chip Martel were the only Americans still playing.) With FLEISHER’s pair North-South, South opened 1NT, and North passed.BALANCEWhen East bid two hearts, he couldn’t have foreseen what would happen to him, but South doubled for takeout, and North liked his hand enough to try 4NT, asking South to bid a minor-suit game.Against five diamonds, West led a heart; only a spade would have worked. Declarer won, lost to the ace of trumps, won the trump return, ruffed his last heart in dummy, cashed four club tricks, and led the ace and a low spade. When E...

French justice minister is on trial accused of conflict of interest

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 08:35:13 GMT

PARIS (AP) — France’s justice minister goes on trial Monday on charges of using his office to settle personal scores, in an unprecedented case that has raised concern about checks and balances in French democracy.Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti’s refusal to resign, or at least to step aside from his role overseeing France’s justice system during the trial, has drawn wide criticism.Once a high-profile lawyer, Dupond-Moretti is accused of abusing his position as justice minister to order probes targeting magistrates who investigated him, his friends or his former clients.He denies wrongdoing. He faces up to five years in prison and half a million euros in fines if convicted on charges of illegal conflict of interest.The trial marks the first time in modern France that a government minister has been put on trial while still in office, according to legal historians. Until now, it was seen as an unwritten rule that ministers resigned if they were put under investigation.Dupond-Moret...

Special counsel Jack Smith opposes televising Trump federal election subversion trial

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 08:35:13 GMT

(CNN) — Special counsel Jack Smith opposes televising the federal election subversion trial of former President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, according to a filing late Friday.Prosecutors wrote that federal courts are expressly prohibited from allowing proceedings in a courtroom from being broadcast or even photographed and that although the public was allowed to access some proceedings through teleconferences during the Covid-19 pandemic, the exception ended in September for criminal trials.In a long-shot attempt, a group of media organizations, including CNN, asked the federal judge overseeing the case, Tanya Chutkan, for permission to broadcast the trial given its historic nature. In a separate petition to the judge, NBCUniversal Media argued that the long-standing rule against cameras in federal criminal trials, which dates to the 1940s, is outdated and would violate the First Amendment if strictly enforced in the Trump case.One of Trump’s attorneys in the case has also suppor...
