Opening lead by West: TC
  
Win the club jack and "finesse" the spade jack.  You need east to have
the diamond K and one spade honor.  East is unlikely to go up and west
is unlikely to continue spades.  Win the return and run clubs and hearts
ending on the board.  The ending is:
				S:Q8
				H:T
				D:T
				C:

	S:					S:A
	H:immaterial				H:
	D:					D:Kxx
	C:					C:

				S:
				H:
				D:AQJ7
				C:
Lead the last winner and east is squeezed.  Either you win a spade and two
diamonds, or three diamonds when the K drops.

Actually, when there is no double, the slam is about 50%!!!
