Syndicated bridge column

 * posted also at Talk:James Jacoby -P64

Does anyone know a list of bridge columns with some bibliographic data? Even long-running bridge columns in US newspapers?

Google: james jacoby bridge - images shows several that are informative. I don't see "Jacoby on Bridge" by father and son as a newspaper column name, rather "Win at Bridge". Also, one is "Bridge: ..." by Oswald Jacoby and Susan Sontag (who's she?). Two are "Bridge" and "Contract Bridge" by James Jacoby, which suggest that he continued after O's death and hint that he dropped their established brandname, if any.

 * Encyclopedia Judaica (reprint linked below) says, "He established a record on April 22, 1982, when his 10,000th article was printed." Uncertain whether that is 10,000 NEA daily columns. --P64 (talk) 20:11, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I have removed the IPA pronunciation given in the intro for the time being, as I suspect it's not supported in the given reference (Jacoby on Bridge) and that the Germanic pronunciation might have been the one Jacoby used. this discussion is by no means a valid source, but it looks like the people arguing for /dzə-'koʊ-bi/ have a little bit more going for them than those on the /'dʒæ-kə-bi/ side—i.e. at least the former cite some personal experience with the man or his son, whereas the latter have nothing. Also, people I've met who talk about bridge use the former pronunciation in discussing the Jacoby transfer (though I have no idea if that's universal or correct). Thoughts? / ninly ( talk ) 13:16, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
