Whichever companies decide to join in should, of course, follow their principles, but (Public Relations 101, here) advertisers should know how far they're really prepared to go before announcing it to consumers and the world, lest they run into the PR nightmare several companies faced last week when they made a feint at pulling ads from Hannity's show.

The combatants were heroes of no common stamp, and feint was regarded with respect and attention; money was a secondary consideration in this case; towering fame was attached to the issue of the contest; and the proud title of conquerer rested upon its termination – they both felt its consequences, and were determined to gain or lose it, honourably.

"One of the things I've heard an awful lot of over the course of the last couple of months is whether or not this is still all a feint, and all intended to rejuvenate the diplomatic process that had otherwise been stalled," said Richard Nephew, the lead sanctions expert to the U.S. team that negotiated the nuclear deal.

It's probably better not to hold your breath for it in this bout, but if Ortega learns to feint low and go high with the lead hand—both as a jab and a lead hook—he will be far more threatening on the feet and able to actually build off his body jab in the style of Alexander Gustafsson and Junior dos Santos.

But it's just as likely that all this ambition is a feint, meant to force Trump to spend time and resources in states the Clinton campaign fully expects him to win—less than a day before the Arizona ad buy was announced Politico reported that the Clinton campaign was convinced that Trump had fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book.

Unlike the twist in the final pages of Ian McEwan's "Atonement," which has always made a reader like me feel foolish for believing in the wish fulfillment in the main body of the book, Choi's break occurs in the middle of her narrative, and so the feint isn't rug-pulling but, as in Lisa Halliday's recent novel, "Asymmetry," something more interesting.

THE HUNTING ACCIDENT: A True Story of Crime and Poetry (First Second, $34.99), written by David L. Carlson and drawn with graphomaniacal fervor by Landis Blair, begins with a lengthy feint: It purports at first to be about the relationship between its narrator, Charlie Rizzo, a young Chicagoan in the late 1950s who's gotten in trouble with the law, and his blind, literature-loving father, Matt.

And while North Korea has hinted at an interest in talking to the United States — which it views as a threat and is one reason it thinks it needs a nuclear arsenal in the first place — it is not clear if the overtures are serious or a feint to buy time so the North can continue to perfect an intercontinental ballistic missile that could hit the United States.

As with any fighter who wants to give ground and counter when the opponent falls short, the way to make that a tougher task is to stay tight, feint lots, and throw the punches out while staying in stance, rather than throwing them out and falling face first in behind them—as so, so many MMA fighters can be tempted to do with a little bit of distance.

Whether it was picking up on Mario Navarro's tendency to duck each time Chinzo showed a feint, and capitalizing with an uppercut—not really a competition karate weapon... Or, after throwing dozens of right leg front kicks at the southpaw Brian Wood and being forced to fight off one leg when Wood caught it and dived for a single leg takedown, Chinzo decided a nice air-hiking knee would work a treat.
