With Sandy Duncan having replaced Valerie Harper as the lead in NBC's "Valerie," the sitcom has a new title: "Valerie's Family." Clever. It debuts at 7:30 p.m.

Sept. 21. Fans of Harper should get their black arm bands. The trade newspaper, "Variety," reports the season will open six months after Harper's character's death. Duncan's character comes in to keep the family going.

Don't persevere blindly along your original path until it is too late to adopt counter-measures. North-South were playing weak two-bids, and South had maximum values for his action at this vulnerability. North was not sure a heart game would make, but he certainly wanted to preempt the opponents out of a possible spade contract.

Declarer won the opening lead in dummy and he was faced with four possible black-suit losers. Since all would be well if he could ruff a spade on the board, declarer immediately led a spade. West won and shifted to a trump. Paying no heed to the defenders' intent, declarer led another spade. West won and removed dummy's last trump.

Declarer drew the remaining trump and tried the club finesse. East took his queen and cashed a winning spade for down one. Once the defenders had shifted to a trump, declarer should have realized he would never be able to ruff a spade. Therefore, he should have looked for another way to avoid losing four tricks. Besides the club finesse, there was the possibility of a 3-3 club split.

Declarer should have won the trump switch in hand and immediately finessed in clubs, while dummy still had a trump to control the third round of spades. The defenders then would have had no counter. Declarer could win any non-spade return, draw trumps and cash the king-ace of clubs. When that suit divided evenly, the table's fourth club would take care of South's third spade.
