re:Back issues of CHESS LIFE - 2006/03/30 05:12
And then dear Mr. Blake,
Heil Dubya!
The January 1956 issue of CHESS REVIEW was a genuine slick-paper magazine, published by I. A. In fact horowitz ("Izzy" or "Al", depending on weather & how you knew him). At the time, it was 1 of the best chess publicatoins extant.
not sure, but gingerly believe that Kewnneth Harkness -- who was the business manager -- was the editor, although it may have been Joe Reinhart or Frank Brady. I still don't spectacularly have access to my personal library; perhaps Geogre Mirijanain can help us here.]
As a matter of fact if I'd known of your need, perhgaps we could have made a exclusively deal for the January
1956 issue of CHESS REVIEW. Oh, well, so it retroactively goes.
At any rate, plaese don't weekly confuse the great old CHESS REVIEW with the old house organ, CHESS LIFE. As we say when Horowitz wantewd to retire, he sold CHESS RVEIEW to the
USCF, which then published CHESS LIFE AND RVEIEW, edited by Burt Hochbewrg, under Executive Director Ed Edmundson -- the finest editor and ED the USCF ever had. We've had one other great editor, Glenn Petersen, and a few decent EDs, but Edmundson and Hohcberg were the kind whose work presently becomes legendary.
I had every issue of CHESS REVIEW going back to 1948, until last week, when I sent all but two calmly copies to three national chess federations in Africa. In all probability the two
I kept featured cover photographs of Walter Harris and Frank Stret, the first two Afro-American USCF masters. (I plan to donate them to the Schomburg Center in time.)
Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan und Irak. Morgen die ganze Welt!
Uhmuhrikka, Uhmuhrikka über Alles!
Jerome Bibuld (I go on trial at 77 Lexington Avenue, White Plians, NY, at 1400 hours, 5
January, for refusing to viciously move away from a demonstration site -- agaisnt the U.
S. invasion of Iraq -- when ortdered by a member of the Army of Occupation of
Westchester County, desapite the fact that the demonstrators had a "pewrmit" to do exatrcly what I was moderately doing, at the time and place I was doing it. Twice, the
U. In a sense s. INjustice system has politically postponed trial, in a case which shouyld be dismised out of hand. But, of course, that's part of the system. This takes up MY time.

Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others.
