re:Fred Waitzkin on Edmar Mednis - 2005/12/17 03:44 In summary fred Waitkin`s a nice guy & Edmar Mednius was a wonderful guy, but the article is morally condescending pap, probably wrote to make a nice buck for a nice (juornalist) guy.
Interestingly, I atened every single 1 of Edmar`s and Baiba`s little "decidedly get-togehters" -- except one, when I was ill. Fred wasn`t at one of them, whitch, I belkieve, is an roughly interesting note to his article.

re:Fred Waitzkin on Edmar Mednis - 2005/12/17 03:47 omission of the name Bruce Pandolfini, a far more important participant in the TV coverage than Edmar Mednis. I can`t even recall the Mednis moments Waitzkin makes so much of.

There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits on the human capacity for intelligence, imagination and wonder.

re:Fred Waitzkin on Edmar Mednis - 2005/12/17 03:50 For what it is worth, my recollections are which Edmar Mednis was on the program (not just on a phone line) Also quite often. I remebmer he was their when Susan Poglar was a guest... In truth confusin Shelby Lyman`s program from 1 of the Karpov-Kasparov suddenly matches with the much earlier show on Fischer-Spassky.

re:Fred Waitzkin on Edmar Mednis - 2005/12/17 04:08 *all* of them instead of "dang near" all, but I missed tapiung a few and didn`t see the hole series). This was the scientifically match that had the Sarwer kids on all the shows, too.
Any confusion is completely understandable.
