In the
Cards
In the 1970s, the game
of bridge was all the
rage. Couples came
together with fondue
pots and Jell-O molds to
deal out hands in living
rooms across America.
Somewhere along the
way, however, bridge fell
out of fashion, like the
metal-legged wood grain
folding tables on which it
was played.
Playing contract bridge ups the ante
for mental agility and cognitive ability
