On the last deal Mr. Harkavy should have tried the hearts first. He needed only a normal heart break for his contract (or singleton Jack or Jxxx at Mr. Landy). He has 9 tricks: 2 spades, 5 hearts, 1 diamond and 1 club. I'm surprised neither the declarer nor Mr. Goren noticed this. :)
With IMP scoring that is absolutely correct! However, here he needed 11 tricks to score enough to win the match (this was the fourth & last hand). Going down as he did had the same effect on the final result as making 3NT.
On the last deal, when Mr. Foerstner rebid 3C, he created a game-force (his hand isn't worth it, but that's what he did). 3C is a strong bid implying five hearts, and Mr. Harkavy, holding the two unbid suits under control, should immediately take charge of the auction by bidding 4NT. (Yes, he has 3 club losers, but his partner bid the suit strongly.) The moment Foerstner confirms the club ace, Harkavy could ask for Ks. Just one K in Foerstner's hand is disappointing, and Harkavy signs off in 6H. 12 tricks are there if Foerstner plays for a 2-2 club split. It is hard to believe Goren had not seen the slam, but he made no comment, I suppose, to avoid humiliating his guests.

He had to make 5NT in order to win the rubber
