...Canadian journalist and consultant in Japan who has founded an organization called the Committee to Free Bobby Fischer, says the U.S.'s invalidation of Fischer's passport did not follow due process because Fischer was not properly notified of the action, nor of his right to a 60-day appeal period. As Fischer's alleged crime is not an extraditable offense in Japan, the U.S. is trying to get Fischer back through what Bosnitch calls a "backdoor extradition" via deportation. Others counter that a U.S. passport is government property and must be surrendered upon request. "The U.S. government...

"Especially for young people, it taps into the questions of what you do when you're in school, or when you leave college, what do you do with your life? There is a sense of adventure there...

That cost him the election by weakening his appeal in conservative Jefferson County, but it allowed him to pull off a win in the city. Carnahan, who played to the middle, couldn’t win the liberals or the conservatives, but, by being everybody’s second choice, he was able to claim the overall victory. This explanation makes some sense, but on closer examination, it has some gaping holes...
