Bobby Fischer heads for Iceland. Cicero reports that he "badly needs a haircut and a shave."
And the U.S. needs a clue. While charges of tax evasion, etc, are worth exploring, his initial affront was reportedly playing a chess match in Yugoslavia when Americans were forbidden from doing business there. It seems strange to think that a Cold War hero has proven unworthy of the U.S. for the sin of turning a buck.
Perhaps there are greater outrages I'm missing. Perhaps, absurdly, the mess that is and always has been Bobby Fischer, warrants serious punishment, not a bemused or bewildered shake of the head.
But just in case he's not as awful as the extradition warrants claim, I wish him well in his new digs and hope he enjoys the hot springs.
