The story — probably a tall tale — is that just after the lunch hour, a tour group arrived at Runnymede in England, where the Magna Carta was signed. One of the group asked a guide when the signing took place.“1215,” was the answer.“Drat,” the tourist sighed. “Missed it by 45 minutes.”Today’s declarer had a poor sense of timing. At 3NT he took the ace of hearts and led a club to dummy’s queen. East won and returned a heart to the queen. South then had eight tricks; he had to lose a diamond to set up dummy’s long diamonds, and East cashed three hearts. Down one.POOR CHANCESouth mistimed.

Elon Musk speaks to members of the media following the Senate AI Insight Forum on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 13, 2023.Photo: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesAfter Elon Musk finalized his purchase of Twitter on October 27, 2022, I wrote an article in which I warned, “We need to take seriously the possibility that this will end up being one of the funniest things that’s ever happened.”Today, I have to issue an apology: I was wrong.
