Note by Henry C Baell Jr:

The notes to the article indicate that this FIRST appeared in the South African Bulletin in 1993. That is undeniably WRONG!!!!!!!! I FIRST saw it in an old newspaper column written by the great American bridge player and columnist B. J. Becker in the 1950's. I don't remember the exact year, but it was definitely in the 1950's. I had an 'original' cut out from the newspaper for many years, but it disappeared many years ago when moving from one location to another. The page was well dog-eared but otherwise in pretty fair condition. Just wanted to make you aware that this hand has been around a long time.
