that has been rebottled with a

The idea was first squeezed
out OF the grapes of wrath after

These big figures remind me
Of grand slam hand. The final
contract was forced by East,
who felt that the small slam in
spades was certain, but that his
club ace would provide him with
good defense against seven.
The reasoning was good, but the
distribution favored South.
The opening lead was won by
South, and low club was ruffed
in dummy. He ruffed a diamond
in his own hand, and when both
opponents followed suit, the rest
was easy. The ace dropped
both adverse trumps, and South
had no further worry about
possible club loser. He entered
dummy with the ace of hearts,
ruffed another diamond, which
dropped the queen, and then
spread the hand for all the
tricks.
South could not safely bid the
grand slam himself, as the bid
ding indicated that the club ace
was held by the opponents.
North made fine bid by going
to seven, when South made
forcing pass after opening
with two-bid, declining TO
double the attempt by East and
West to take profitable penal
