The proof is the magazine itself. As far as Parr's "points",
I've already recanted use of the term "apparatchik"
for GM Evans which has too strong a connotation
of conformity that does not apply in this case where
the USCF has no official voice. When CL did pass
through its USSR obsession, Evans *was* first in line.
However, as help bot has pointed out, that could be
mere coincidence. The more appropriate description
of Evans is that of the consummate bureaucratic
insider, using his connections and alliances to
guarantee his personal survival, even as the
federation's own fortunes (not coincidentally)
suffered.

Parr's obsession with "written directives" is
rather ironic given his journalistically inappropriate
reliance on rumor, hearsay, etc. But of course
policies can be effected without such directives,
so it is the classic red-herring.
