A third spade knocked out South’s last stopper and West's suit was ready to run. Counting only eight sure winners, South tried for a ninth with a heart finesse. It lost to West's king and West's remaining spades sent the game one down. It was unluckyto find both finesses wrong, but South could have made his dummy wins and Southswitches to di- amonds, leading low from dummy twice, if necessary). This gives South four diamonds, two spades, two hearts. and a club for nine winners. If West takes his heart king at trick two, it's eveneasier. South holds off in spades and then canaffordto takea diamond finesse. What if spades had been 4-4?

A TV her ings crown. NBC, ontop again for the first time since the 1990-91 season, looks ready to rumble with the Super Bow! and an unstoppable Thursday-night lineup. CBS, down in the dumps as never before, will try to avoid becoming thefirst Big Three network to average a single-digit Nielsen rating for an entire season. Fox has to wonder whyit’s losing viewers despite stealing all those big-cityaffiliates from CBS. Handfuls of would-be viewers addicted to the Internet instead. No series starring Robert Urich. In plain-and-simple numbers,the scorecard adds up to a considerable minus W First-place NBChas an 11.7 rating at the midpoint of this season.

CBS’ prime-time ratings have dropped 2 points in a year’s time, from 11.7 to 9.7 But despite this setback, the network might be in better position than ABC to go up rather than down.
