Some declarer play techniquescome with fancy names. Despitethe name, some of them are quitesimple. The “Vienna Coup” is onesuch fancy name, but it is only asimple unblocking play.South ducked the opening heartlead in dummy, losing to East’sking, and a heart was returned.South won his queen and tookstock. A 3-3 club split would nothelp in a no trump contract — hecouldn’t afford another loser —so he needed a 4-2 club split orworse. If the defender with thelong clubs also held the king ofdiamonds, he would not be able todefend the position.South cashed the ace-queenof spades, followed by the aceof diamonds (the Vienna Coup).He played a heart to dummy’sace and cashed the king of clubsbefore running all of dummy’sspades. He came down to thequeen of diamonds and two ofclubs opposite the ace-eight ofclubs. West could not keep theking of diamonds and two clubs.He discarded the diamond king,and South had his slam!Note that had the ace ofdiamonds not been cashed,West could defeat the slam bydiscarding a low diamond. Theace would drop the king, but therewould be no entry to the goodqueen.Three days from today, June21, there is a national promotionfor the benefit of the Alzheimer’sAssociation.

I had my first muffuletta in New Orleans at the Cen-tral Grocery, the unassuming place where it all began,during an unforgettable food writer’s conference inthe early 1980s. For those unfamiliar, the muffuletta isa giant sandwich on a soft Sicilian bread of the samename that is layered with mortadella, salami, moz-zarella, ham or cappicola and provolone, and spilling
over with the olive salad — giardinera vegetables andolives tangy with vinegar and tamed by olive oil. Thisrecipe is one I created after the trip.
Look for the giardinera — marinated vegetables —on the grocery shelves near pickles and olives. The jarshould include cauliflower, onions, carrots, celery andpeppers. You can, of course, make your own by chop-ping the raw vegetables and marinating in vinegarand oil or Italian salad dressing.
For the olive salad1 jar (about 7 ounces) pimiento-stuffed olives, sliced1 jar (about 6 ounces) marinatedvegetables3 whole roasted pimientos, diced3 to 6 cherry peppers orpepperoncini (optional)2 cloves of garlic, minced fine2 tablespoons olive oil2 tablespoons pickling liquid fromolive jar1 teaspoon dried oregano½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
For the sandwich1 round loaf Italian breadOlive oil¼ pound each of sliced cappicolaor ham, Genoa salami, mortadella,provolone and mozzarella cheesesShredded lettuce and sliced tomato(optional)
Combine all the olive saladingredients in a glass bowl, covertightly and refrigerate overnight.Split the bread in half horizontally.Remove excess bread if desired.
Brush both cut sides with oliveoil. Layer meats and cheeses onthe bottom half. Top with olivesalad, then the top of the bread.If desired, wrap in foil and heat25 minutes in a 300-degree oven.Open and add lettuce and tomato ifdesired. Press top back on lightlyand slice into eighths. Makes 8servings.
