  David Kane, as usual, made some bizarre claims,
but instead of refuting them, we get this equally
bizarre response from chief rat Larry Parr:

  Generally speaking, it is the *reigning champion*
who makes selfish "demands", not the challenger.

  In this case, the fact that it was Bobby Fischer
making "demands", shows just how ludicrous the
handling of this cycle was.  Former world champ
Tigran Petrosian wrote that this nonsense placed
the other players in the same situation psycho-
logically, as men under fire in a foxhole during war.

  Larry Evans later came under fire when this
sweeping claim was debunked.
