Jacoby on Bridge West North 30 and AJI106
West North South East deal features lack of diamonds and heart leads. A diamond through would threaten South’s king, while any other lead allows South to draw trumps and discard a heart on dummy’s long club. An expert East chose a club return, yielding the same favorable result for South as ordinary play.

Average player overrules expert in Tucson bridge bid
Oswald Jacoby notes regionals where average Easts mislead with diamond and heart plays. North opens with one club, South responds spade, bidding sequence ends in four spades against four hearts. The piece contrasts average decisions with expert expectations and hints at slam chances. It also cites a farm price rise versus crop price drop since 1947-49, framing two separate items in one column.
