What is the key rule for South in today's deal? He is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade six. (As a side issue, looking at all 52 cards, how must declarer play if West leads the heart jack?) South takes the second spade and plays a club. West can win, but doesn't have another spade to lead. (Note that if declarer plays a heart at trick three, West should put up his jack. Then East should take dummy's queen with his ace and return that suit, not a spade.)

Jean Collins Kerr elevated everyday absurdities to art in books such as \"Please Don't Eat the Daisies\" and plays such as \"Mary, Mary.\"

The Baker Street Paisley Project hopes to create a new theatre, cinema and performance space in one of the town centre's most derelict area. While opinions from all members of the public are required and valued, Gary is particularly interested in hearing from young people in the area.

I couldn't, not at 11. Or 13. By 15 or 16, I stopped looking for the dirty parts and began reading Lolita on its own terms. Since then, I have read it - in the annotated version no less - at least 25 times. Lolita is a problematic book. It gets paedophilia right - the bargains, the rationalisations, the bribes, even the use of narcotics, a rapist's best friend. It is unsettling how much Vladimir Nabokov knows, given that he was writing at a time when paedophilia was barely discussed, much less understood. I have friends who say the book cannot triumph over its grim subject, but I have been reading it and re-reading it too long to stop. It was the first serious novel I loved. And it is, I would argue, instructive in its reminder that monsters lurk among us, but they seldom look like monsters.

Jean Kerr, a humorist, author and playwright who died in 2003, said, \"I make mistakes; I'll be the second to admit it.\" That, unfortunately, applies to many bridge partnerships. When one player errs, his or her partner cannot wait to point it out. However, if you realize that a mistake has been made by partner or you, do not get distracted. Keep concentrating and do not make a second slip that lets a beatable contract succeed. In this deal, East must keep his eye on the cards.

A delighted Jean Kerr is the lucky recipient of our latest Reader of THEWEEK prize.

[Jean Kerr] delves into the adventures of two couples -- Oliver, a straight-laced marriage counselor; Nora, his assertive wife; Carrie, a naive 23-year-old, and her wealthy husband, Peter -- who find their lives irreparably entwined when Carrie discloses to Oliver that Nora and the younger Peter are having an affair. The plot becomes even more entangled as Oliver (Michael S. Lazorcik) and Carrie (Audrey Marks) fall into their own pseudo relationship as Oliver schemes to set things right among the four by convincing Nora (D.J. Reeves) that he's been involved with Carrie all along, even though that's not so. (Actually, Carrie began the deception when Oliver was out of the room, but he soon carried it to highly enriched levels.)
