In Frank Stewart's column for Feb. 1, he gives us a sweet throw-in to make a 6NT contract. But am I wrong, that I will make it by taking the spade finesse at trick 4?

You mean that you will `play a spade to the queen and King and then squeeze West?. The squeeze won't work when West is sitting behind both menaces in South.

And the ♠J is what, chopped liver?

♠J is high once the ♠Q loses to ♠K, so not a menace.
