One Russian grand master advises patronizingly that Fischer must "realize that chess has changed in the past 20 years." World champion Garry Kasparov notes the "low level" of play in the match.

The result is that these mindlessly multiplying creatures are chewing up more trees than anyone can count. It is foolhardy to suggest that the anti-fur-coat folks should now retreat and give thousands of women -- not to say the environment -- a break. It is not crazy, however, to provide the beavers with contraceptives, so Wildlife 2000 has arranged to trap beavers, sort out the females and fit them with Norplant, the birth-control device.
