Richard Peterson (who just came in from the cold) is exactly right. I
wish that more members would express outrage at these events. Then,
something could possibly be done about them.

Now, we are in imminent danger of losing our two magazines, Chess Life
and Chess Life 4 Kids, and are told, "Don't worry. Everything will be
alright."

\You mean the RANK-AND-FILE is ultimately to blame for not giving a shit
about who runs its federation?

Say it ain't so!
