Will he lead the right suit?

Lewis Grizzard, a writer and humorist, said, "Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes."

The opening lead can make a big difference in the scenery - the result - at the bridge table. This deal occurred near the end of last year's Polish Teams Championship. As described yesterday, at the first table, South opened three no-trump, showing a long, solid minor suit and no side ace, king or void; West overcalled four spades, and North jumped to seven clubs. After East doubled, North ran to seven no-trump. When West woodenly led the spade king, the grand slam made for plus 2,220.

The auction at the second table is given. Note West's imaginative - crazy? - four-heart overcall on his singleton. North, thinking he could probably defeat this contract, doubled for penalty. When West ran to four spades, North, realizing what West was doing, jumped to six no-trump, the contract he thought his partner could make. After East doubled, what do you think West led?
