Parents were relaxing their pressure to get vaccine. The pressure now took on a new form: the big question across the U.S. last week was whether even the rechecked vaccine is safe...
Kramer's suggestions for cleaning up the game are straightforward enough: get the payoff above the table. Hold open tournaments and let both amateurs and pros compete for prize money, "as clean and candid a reward as there is." In Wiesbaden, Germany last week, where this year's crop of "amateurs" were competing in another tournament, Kramer's plan was cheered.

He once wrote, melodramatically but perhaps not inaccurately: "I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval . . ." In the poems that will remain long after the last alcoholic insult to that skin he loathed, there are many victories...
