Jun-07-11 William Lombardy
| |
| Tessie Tura: I was very sorry not to see or hear from Lombardy in the Garbus documentary. Probably they tried to get him and he refused, which wouldn’t surprise me. He didn’t get mentioned much in the film either, which did surprise me, or if there was a reference I missed it. The fact ... |

| Tessie Tura: <I've said for years that today's Democrats would call JFK a hardline right winger.> On the contrary. JFK was very hawkish and was not as activist on issues like civil rights as many liberals would have wished. But he was openly friendly to labor and sometimes willingly at |

| Tessie Tura: <In any case, we're still missing the point about Keres. And the fact that so many people don't get it no matter how clearly it's explained, is part <OF> the point.> Perhaps it's because the Who’s Jewish question involves religious and ethnic issues as well as ... |

| Tessie Tura: <One thing about Tal, he sure photographed well, or crazy? Some of the pics of him, that mad scientist stare - not at you, but at the board.> Tal was a very attractive man when he was young, not that you'd guess from the photo on this page. Although I like his 'mad ... |

| Tessie Tura: This is a fascinating discussion.
Thank you for the review of the new book, <paris attack>. Did Evans by any chance have information in the foreword that was new to you, or was it a rehash or recapitulation of what Evans has said about Fischer over the years? <Steiner ... |

Nov-03-09 Anatoly Karpov
| |
| Tessie Tura: <Karpov's legacy as an all-time great is fully secure and he can do whatever he wants.> No argument there. If he wants to play he’s certainly earned the right, but it’s no pleasure as a fan to see him get spanked and I can’t imagine the experience is agreeable for ... |

| Tessie Tura: <There was some story about how Linda McCartney, the budding artist and rock groupie/photographer made a plaster paris cast of Jimi's p_____. Don't know if that one is true or not. She photographed a lot of people before she bagged Paul McCartney.> I believe it was Cynthia |
