Shirov's Sad Saga

...
The Kanester calls GM Larry Evans (a millionaire)
an apparatchik" who needs lifetime employment by
the USCF (even though the current editor eliminated
Evans On Chess to please his new bosses).
I never claimed that Evans' motivation was financial.
Having long since given up competing at chess, I
suspect that his reason for clinging to the column
over the years was emotional - it connects him
(however remotely) to his glory days as an
exceptional chess player. That he has written so much
false and embarrassing stuff in pursuit of that
connection is a shame but hardly surprising.
Mediocre outfit + mediocre people (e.g. Parr) =
mediocre output.
And Parr distorts again. Evans is still on the payroll.
