Think of the enduring sports images of the 1960s. The euphoric Bill Mazeroski bounding through fans toward home plate to end the 1960 World Series. Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston in Lewiston, Maine, in 1965, screaming, "Get up and fight, sucker!" John Carlos and Tommie Smith in protest at the 1968 Olympics, black-gloved fists raised.

After philandering Kansas City salesman Jack Bennett slaps his wife, Myrtle, during a 1929 bridge game, the wronged woman shoots her husband dead – in front of the shocked eyes of their partners.
How does this salacious tabloid murder propel the genteel art of bridge into a million American living rooms? The answer is the improbable tale The Devil’s Tickets: A Night of Bridge, a Fatal Hand, and a New American Age by former Atlantan Gary M. Pomerantz.
