Sometimes I think an additional call should be available in the auction: When a player doubles a contract for penalty, he should be able to re-examine hand, reconsider — and undouble.In today’s deal, East raised West’s one heart to two. When South bid two spades, West jumped to four hearts, and after two passes, South tried four spades. West’s double was ill-judged.South ruffed West’s second high heart with the king of trumps. He led his five to dummy’s seven and returned the three of clubs to his jack. West took the king and led another heart. South ruffed, went to the ace of trumps and let the ten of clubs ride.REMORSEWest was starting to have doubler’s remorse, but it was too late to undouble. South next led a diamond to his king and lost only one diamond. Making four, doubled.

Inside the Pentagon’s New “Perception Management” Office to Counter Disinformation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:32:32 GMT

Not long after the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration launched what it called the Office of Strategic Influence, which would seek to “counter the enemy’s perception management” in the so-called war on terror. But it quickly became clear that the office, operating under Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, would be managing those perceptions with its own disinformation.As the New York Times reported at the time, its work was to “provide news items, possibly including false ones, to foreign journalists in an effort to influence overseas opinion.” In the nascent Internet age, observers worried the propaganda could boomerang back on Americans.“The question is whether the Pentagon and military should undertake an official program that uses disinformation to shape perceptions abroad,” the Times reported in 2004. “But in a modern world wired by satellite television and the Internet, any misleading information and falsehoods could easily be repeated by American news outlets.”Now, two decad...
