GM Larry Evans was one of the two most popular writers

Used to be most popular. A lot of us got tired of the same old Fischer
rehash. In the four articles that you cite, three were about Fischer
and the other was about a man that hlped a philosphy enslave most of
the world and terrorized the rest. Evans was stuck in the past and
could not break out.

Yes, but trying to convince someone like
Larry Parr -- who is also stuck in the past --
is like arm-wrestling Arnold Schwartzennegger.

People like these are blinded to their own
handicap, and perceive the whole world as
being the real problem. In view of the utter
hopelessness of trying to get one of these
guys to snap out of it, I have come to accept
the fact (as I see it), that only time can solve
their problem.

I foresee a similar problem with the USA as
a whole (not just in chess) being superceeded
eventually by China, at least economically.
War is one possibility. Bitter resentment,
moaning and groaning inevitable.
