Pass 10 Pass 1 NT' Pass 24 Pass Pass 4 Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: Deuce of With both the king and queen of hearts located securely behind the ace, it appears that South must go down to defeat in his four- heart contract, for he cannot avoid the loss of two spade tricks. West's failure to lead a trump at the opening gun presented the declarer with har reprieve, how- ever, and by capitalizing on favorable distribution in the side suits the latter was able to effect a stunning upset and emerge unscathed on the deal. West opened the deuce of clubs, the queen was played from dummy, covered by East's king and ruffed in the closed hand with the deuce of hearts. A small spade was led and North's jack forced out East's king.

The latter cashed the ace of spades and exited with a third round of the suit. South put up the queen of spades, discarding a club from dummy. A diamond was led to the queen and the ace of clubs was cashed, on which declarer shed the ten of diamonds. A club was ruffed in the closed hand, the king of diamonds was cashed and a third round was led to the ace South led the ten of spades, West followed with the eight and the dummy ruffed with the nine of hearts. East overruffed with the queen; however, he was now end-played.

He returned the five of hearts and South put up the jack, which held, and then North's ace took the last trick. Declarer had held his losses to one heart trick in addition to the two spades surrendered earlier.

Goren Goren THE LOYAL OPPOSITION by Patrick and Patterson GEORGE B. McCLELLAN (December 3, 1826-October 29, 1885) Defeated for the Presidency in 1864 by Abraham Lincoln George Brinton McClellan is best known as a soldier, less known as a politician, least known as a business executive. Yet he was more successful as a business executive than he was at soldiering or politics. Entering West Point at 16, McClellan was graduated in 1846, second in his class. He immediately saw service in the Mexican War under Gen.

Winfield Scott. After the war McClellan taught briefly at West Point and went abroad with an Army board to study European military systems. In 1857. he resigned his captaincy in the Army to become: chief engineer for the Illinois Central Railroad. Within a year he was made vice president, later becoming president of the eastern division of the Ohio and Missouri Railroad.

When the Civil War erupted, McClellan the Army as a major general. Following the Federal defeat at Manassas, President Lincoln made him general in chief of all Federal armies, replacing Gen. Scott. However, Lincoln and McClellan did not work well together. McClellan was rude to and contemptuous of the President, while Lincoln thought "Little Mac" was suffering from "the McClellan was an excellent organizer and morale builder, but he did not like to fight.

This annoyed the aggressive Lincoln who twice removed him from command, the last time when McClellan failed to pursue the retreating Confederates at the Battle of Antietam. This ended McClellan's military career and launched his equally brief and unsuccessful political career. Walt Whitman had described McClellan as a man "who felt that the man who dealt the softest blows all around would be the great man, the general idol, the savior." This was good reasoning, for McClellan had written his wife of his plan to "crush the rebels in one campaign," then persuade the Confederates to surrender by guaranteeing the right to slavery. He would then become the President of a united country in 1864. When the Democratic convention nominated McClellan as its presidential candidate, one of the planks in its platform repudiated the war and demanded an immediate armistice.

When McClellan accepted the nomination by letter, he repudiated the peace plank. "The Union must be preserved at all hazards," he wrote. The American people, having to choose between two hawks, chose the one in office. They always have in time of war. The popular vote was a little in Lincoln's favor, the electoral vote decisively so, 212 to 21.
