Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 grid contains the digits 1-9, with no repeats. Occasionally, there may be more than one solution.
Alder on Bridge When you are the declarer at the bridge table, you want to preserve all that is good — your winners — and remove all that is bad — an entry to an opponent’s hand when he is close to establishing and running his long suit. With that generous hint, how would you try to make three notrump? West leads the spade six: four, jack, queen. You start with five top tricks: two spades (given the first trick), two diamonds and one club. You can get two heart and at least three club winners. It is sorely tempting to take the club finesse immediately. Here, though, that proves fatal. East wins with his king and returns the spade nine (the higher of two remaining cards). Whatever you do, you will go down one. If the club finesse is winning, it can wait. First, since West’s suit isn’t yet established, you should concentrate on removing his potential entry card — the heart ace. At trick two, lead a heart honor from your hand.
If West ducks, you then take the club finesse and collect at least nine tricks: two spades, one heart, two diamonds and four clubs. If West wins with his ace and plays another spade, duck that trick, win the third spade, and run the club queen. You cannot go down unless East started with five spades. — Phillip Alder

6 memorable movie scores BILL NEWCOTT
AARP The Magazine
For many moviegoers, a film’s soundtrack is essentially white noise — an element that, at best, magnifies the action on-screen (the scared teenager creeping through a haunted house to muted strings ... armies attacking to blaring trumpets). But a classic film score can be every bit as much a character as the leading man and lady — sometimes sticking with the audience long after the story is forgotten. Some truly great movie scores come to DVD and Blu-ray in the coming voices on records, Nilsson often month: recorded dozens of tracks for a ‘ASTAIRE AND ROGERS:THE single song, harmonizing with himself for a soaring, ethereal ULTIMATE COLLECTOR’S sound. EDITION‘ (AVAILABLE NOW) Through interviews with the Raise your hand if you remem- likes of Randy Newman, Yoko Ono and the Smothers Brothers, ber what “Flying Down to Rio” this documentary traces Nilsson’s or “Top Hat” were about. Anymeteoric climb in the 1960s, his one? I thought not. Three quarself-destructive plunge to nearters of a century later, these 10 films of Fred Astaire and Gin- oblivion, and his personal revival ger Rogers endure simply as the before an early death. Best of all, we get to revel in performances habitats of some astonishingly like “Remember,” “Without You” pure musical moments; visions of grace set against the greatest and “Everybody’s Talkin’.” songs of their era, including ‘FRANK SINATRA:THE “Night and Day” and “Cheek to CONCERT COLLECTION‘ Cheek.” (NOV. 2)

‘WHO IS HARRY NILSSON ANDWHY IS EVERYBODY TALKIN’ABOUT HIM?‘ (OCT. 26)
TV and Sinatra never really took to each other — Ol’ Blue Eyes was most comfortable in a recording studio or, as he liked to put it, singin’ in saloons. But he did occasionally find time for the home tube, and this seven-disc set is a pretty complete collection of Sinatra’s TV canon. His first “A Man and His Music” special, from 1965, is a true gem, with Sinatra in as fine voice as ever. By the time we get to one of his last taped concerts, a 1985 show in Japan, Sinatra’s a lion who’s lost his roar, but not his killer instinct. In between are infinite moments of brilliance.
John Lennon once declared that singer/songwriter Nilsson was his favorite musical group — and it wasn’t a misstatement. With one of the most distinctive

We all remember the shrieking violins that throttled us during Janet Leigh’s Worst Shower Ever — but listen again to Bernard Herrmann’s haunting score for Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece. His dissonant chords — using an orchestra made up only of stringed instruments — ratchet up Hitch’s pervasive sense of dread to the breaking point.

vision of the future since the day “Metropolis” premiered in Germany in 1926.The film was savaged by clumsy editors for decades, but Kino Video now gives us the most complete reconstruction ever — and has also restored the spectacular score written by Gottfried Huppertz for the premiere performance. If you’re a silent film buff you probably think you’ve seen “Metropolis.”Trust me, until now, you have not.
‘CLINT EASTWOOD: 35 FILMS, 35 YEARS‘ (NOV. 2) You’ll find most of the usual sus-
pects here, and while the collection omits “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” we still get the Good (the Oscar-winning “Million Dollar Baby”), the Bad (“City Heat,” an ill-advised comedy with Burt Reynolds), and the Ugly (Clint as the foul-tempered, bigoted antihero of “Gran Torino”). In his later films, Eastwood adds a uniquely personal element to his movies, composing thoughtful, sensitive musical scores that amplify his often solemn themes. Listen to his musical voice comment on the stories of “Mystic River” and “Million Dollar Baby.”
