cyst It can be aspirated f withdrawn through a needle and the cyst will collapse Unfortunately the liquid may leading to repeated aspirations A solid breast mass Is a more dan problem because some solid masses are malignant Since they con tain little if any fluid aspiration is not successful and biopsy has to be performed to establish a diagnosis Cysts arc common in women tend to be even more prevalent in women who nursed and often fluctuate in size depending on the time of the menstrual cycle Mammograms with or without sonography are a useful way to differentiate between cysts and solid lumps If cysts continue to fill up and be painful despite aspira tion they can be surgically removed Intruders collared Police report two people entered a house at Blvd at April 13 cut the phone con

on two and a half quick tricks and a fivecard suit an excellent example of a hand not worth a twolevel over- call Because Easts suit Is weak he may be doubled and penalized heavily His three little cards in openers suit are a liability if he becomes the de clarer In clubs Further If the oppo nents bid three notrump his might Induce his partner to lead clubs when leading his own suit would be better Here the had a different adverse effect South fudged a little on the requirements to bid two hearts upgradinghis club holding after Easts Now North wllh a minimum hand went right four hearts trad ing heavily on his singleton club East won the opening club lead and continued clubs Declarer won Jack discarding a spade from dummy and played a low heart West made the natural play of ducking and East won the king When the heart ace was forced out and a spade played declar simply rose with the ace in dummy drew trumps and ran the diamonds to nakc 10 tricks West can defeat the contract if he rises with his ace and shifts to a spade when hearts arc first led Now the king will make a trick Although is play seems unnatural West should assume that declarer does not have the heart king or he would have led up to it from dummy Seeing the urgency to lead through the spade West must simply hope that he is not crashing his partners singleton king on the heart ace A new book by James and
