obituary, NYT 1994-10-05 — now our formal [ref name=NYT]
extended, in effect, in Truscott's 1994-10-16 bridge column, "The 'Coffin Coup' is one of the legacies of George S. Coffine, a master of endplay and word play", p. C12

Oops, Truscott did not write the obituary, which I promoted to a formal reference just now. Amended above. --P64 (talk) 02:35, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
