Re Fischer/Nabokov, I'm hazy on the date,and I don't have the book in hand, but one day when I was in my office at Sports Illustrated in the Time-Life Building, I got a call from Robert Cantwell, another writer on the staff. "Come around to my office," he said. "I've got Bobby Fischer here. I want you to meet him." I grabbed a copy of Nabokov's Poems and Problems and went to Cantwell's office. I shook hands with Fischer, opened the book to a problem and handed it to him. Fischer glanced at it for all of five or 10 seconds, smiled, and said, "Hmmm, cute," and gave the book back to me.
