THIS WEEK’S COVER
- It was Constantin Alajalov’s intent to pull a fast one on readers and on the Post, in his cover painting about the bridge-playing commuters—some of whom, as any commuter knows, finish the hand if they have to do on the platform. The artist hoped to lay out a hand which would contain no slight mistake, such as only real experts would spot. Alajalov doesn’t play bridge himself, but didn’t intend to do this himself. He would get Ely Culbertson to do it. Pleased with his little trap, he phoned Culbertson and learned that his expert friend was in Arizona. So Alajalov had to choose the exposed cards himself, and though he chose the bidder is in for trouble, he is not at all sure.
