 Generally. the hold-up Is applied on the opening suit, but in todays hand we find 1t applied on the second suit and not against the original leader.
 Over the one diamond. West could not be criticized if he bid one spade, even though vulnerable. as bid of ono shows q hand too weak for q negative double. In other words, West does not wish to play tho hand at two spades unless East has an exceptionally fino hand.

not the case. Sparrows Point plant

mainly directed towards the street

not in the plant. Mass meetings
and demonstrations are arranged

little fluctuation. Whereas, the

How much pain do we take to
