Jun-07-11 William Lombardy
| |
| Tessie Tura: I was very sorry not to see or hear from Lombardy in the Garbus documentary. Probably they tried to get him and he refused, which wouldn’t surprise me. He didn’t get mentioned much in the film either, which did surprise me, or if there was a reference I missed it. The fact ... |

| Tessie Tura: <I've said for years that today's Democrats would call JFK a hardline right winger.> On the contrary. JFK was very hawkish and was not as activist on issues like civil rights as many liberals would have wished. But he was openly friendly to labor and sometimes willingly at |

| Tessie Tura: <In any case, we're still missing the point about Keres. And the fact that so many people don't get it no matter how clearly it's explained, is part <OF> the point.> Perhaps it's because the Who’s Jewish question involves religious and ethnic issues as well as ... |

Nov-03-09 Anatoly Karpov
| |
| Tessie Tura: <Karpov's legacy as an all-time great is fully secure and he can do whatever he wants.> No argument there. If he wants to play he’s certainly earned the right, but it’s no pleasure as a fan to see him get spanked and I can’t imagine the experience is agreeable for ... |

| Tessie Tura: <There was some story about how Linda McCartney, the budding artist and rock groupie/photographer made a plaster paris cast of Jimi's p_____. Don't know if that one is true or not. She photographed a lot of people before she bagged Paul McCartney.> I believe it was Cynthia |
