NOBODY IS THAT

There are plenty of brilliant players in any game. But not one in so good that he can af- ford to loaf and still expect to win. In bridge that applies mainly to the traditional sin of acting without thinking. The player who likes to impress his partner and opponents with his speed of brain, and who there- fore makes the first move that comes into his mind-without first weighing the alternatives will never deserve to be rank- ed as a top-notcher.

This untrue and ungenerous assertion is sufficient ly irritating to Russia's Allies, But it is really going too far when an official voice from the Soviet explains to us why we were at war with Japan.
