However, there were some points in the veterinarian’s letter that should be clarified. After sheleft, I asked about the lab work I had done. He said, “I haven’t had time to look at it, but I'm sure everything is all right.” The intercom buzzed and he answered it. With another look at my file, he said mycholesterol was high and I should pick up a diet at the desk. The telephone rang again and the doctor spent about five minutes talking to another doctor. After he hung up, I wanted to ask him about my night sweats, but his nurse came in again to talk to him. The doctor then told me to make another appointment, and said, “It was nice to see you.

Next I would tell the person who recommended this doctor exactly what you told me. After that, I would send a copy ofthe letter you wrote to me to your county medical association. And then I'd find another specialist. DEAR ABBY: As a veterinarian, I appreciate the warning letter you printed on March | concerning the dangers of giving human pain relievers to pets. I treat several pets every year that were unintentionally poisoned by their well-meaning eral rule is to never give ANY medication not prescribed by a vet- erinarian. The drug named in the ©1993 8 w a article (Advil) is not aspirin — it’s ibuprofen. It is occasionally prescribed for dogs, but never for cats. Aspirin is prescribed for certain health problems in both dogs and cats, but may be fatal, especially in cats, if not given under a vet’s supervision. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is very toxic to cats and is never prescribed for either species. Pet owners should never give anyof their own prescription drugs to their pets without consulting their pet’s veterinarian. — Leon M. Morris, D.V.M., San Francisco ~ CONFIDENTIAL TO MRS.

SPY: Ivana Trump says 4 PSUN E66) @ The Associated Press $320,000 is far more than she is willing to pay a detective agency that spied on her rival, Marla Maples. Donald Trump’s former wife told an appeals court Wednesday that she set a $100,000 cap for work by Investigative Group Inc., but the agency billed her $320,000.

The problem is to play the hand so as to lose only one spade trick. The correct play is unusual. Discard a spade on the opening lead! If you do, you make the slam; if you don’t, you go down.

The general rule governing squeezes is that declarer must develop a position where he has all the remaining tricks but one. On the opening lead, South sees he has all the remaining tricks but two. He therefore concedesthe first trick in order to bring aboutthe all-but-one position. This process of deliberately losing trick is called rectifying the count.
