TIME'S editors decided that they wanted a spread that would get behind the familiar scenes of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, chose for the job the skilled Werner Stoy, who, after 19 years in the islands, is recognized as Hawaii's top photographer.

The ensuing uproar was capped when Edward Root, 16, of St. Petersburg, jotted a formula on the blackboard, ran some figures through a table computer, did some paper work and announced that a bridge player could expect such a hand once in 635,013,559,600 deals...
