Anyone who does not think there is a
case for random leads against slam
contracts need only look at today's
deal, in which Benito Garozzo brought
home an apparently impossible slam.
The contract was certainly good. With
a different passive lead, declarer
would draw trumps, cash A-K of
hearts and then lead a heart up to the
jack. He would lose the hand only
when East held Q-10-x-x of hearts and
West held the kjng of diamonds. This
time West led. the eight of hearts
against six spades. It’s always danger-
ous to make telltale leads against
great declarers.
. Garozzo won dummy’s ace of
hearts', played out all of his trumps,
and cashed the king and ace of clubs.
That meant East had to reduce to four
cards. Shjpe it was necessary for him
to keep the Q-10-6 of hearts, he threw
his next-to-last diamond away. Dum-
my had left K-J-9 of hearts. Garozzo
cashed the ace of diamonds and then
led a heart to dummy's jack. East won
the queen and had to lead back into the
K-9 to give declarer his slam.
And what would random leads have
done? For starters, if West leads a
club, declarer will have no indication
of the right end position to develop. If
West feels he must lead a heart, per-
haps it’s better to lead the two of
hearts rather .than highlight right
away the fact that his holding in
hearts is 8-2 doubleton.

ASTROGRAPH
<Your
birthday
Feb. 21,1991
The timing of two critical matters that
affect’your finances could be controlled
by outside influences in the year ahead.
Fortunately, they’ll work smoothly in
your, favor.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Conditions
are a bit unusual where you are con-
cerned today; you could be more fortu-
nate in regard to things others do for
you than in regard to what you attempt
to do for yourself. Trying to patch up a
broken romance? The Astro-Graph
Matchmaker can help you understand
what to do to make the relationship
work. Mail $2 to Matchmaker, c/o this
newspaper, P.O. Box 91428, Cleveland,
OH 44101-3428.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might
be called upon to help someone with a
tedious assignment today. Try to re-
spond willingly, and you should still
have ample time to attend to your
responsibilities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Conditions
in general should be rather pleasant for
you today, with the broadest swings oc-
curring where your financial interests
are concerned: Ups and downs in this
area arp likplv
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Usually, you
are quite capable of handling several
matters simultaneously, but this might
be one of your off days. Try not to
spread yourself too thin.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Credits or
rewards should be equally shared today
with those who helped you achieve
something you couldn't do alone. If you
don't, they might not be around the
next time you need them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone with
whom you’ll be involved today may
abuse your generosity. Conversely,
however, there are indications that an-
other might make up for it in a larger
measure. The two events are unrelated.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) People who
are eager to help you could turn out to
be the ones who hinder you the most to-
day. If you feel saddled with dead
weight, try to disengage yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Lack of prop-
er preparation could create some prob-
lems for you today, but Lady Luck is
your ally. She might intervene to help
you over the rough spots.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) If you feel
inclined to take gambles today, rely on
your own capabilities and not on some-
one else’s. Lady Luck appears to hold
you in higher esteem.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) It
could negatively affect your image if, in
the presence of others, you make prom-
ises today which you fail fo keep later.
Bear this in mind before making any
commitments.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Wheth-
er or not you'll be lucky in love today is
rather “iffy," but, if you apply yourself
properly, you should do well in fulfilling
your material interests. *
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Do not ig-
nore your better judgment today where
your financial affairs are concerned.
You might not be very successful at
squeaking through situations where you
leave too much up to chance.
