He has a habit of staring at opponents with what an old acquaintance calls "the coldest eyes in bridge." Captain of the U.S. team that lost the world championship match to Italy last winter, Crawford is an inveterate gambler, plays poker, canasta, gin and pinochle for money, as well as bridge.

Now it may well turn out to be the coldest winter since '88, and the cattle industry will probably be destroyed again (as if it wasn't already under the prosperity of the present administration). But the reason you woke up in a cold sweat was pending examinations; the temperature only reached the low teens last night. The highest we can hope for tomorrow is a low '20s reading and some of the other kind. It'll clear up tomorrow evening and remain cold, but as the feller said...
