FM Mike Klein is traveling around the world. Meanwhile, he earned two notches in the Best of CLO 08 contest.
With the anniversary of Fischer's death coming up in just four days, it's a timely occasion to re-read Klein's lauded piece. The Judges Sound Off Read more about the judges here. "High on the list because it must have been so difficult to write so soon after Fischer's death; the author does an excellent job."- Peter Doggers "Another article which is obviously very good and thoughtful and interesting. It's about a special and sad occasion yet also includes thoughtful ideas."- Alex Lenderman "Written in good journalistic style: it moves despite its static subject. Thoughtful rather than original."- Mark Taylor "Another Fischer Piece" is what I expected here, but the author actually goes past the surface. Too many folks these days get as far as the mental aberrations and decide there's nothing else to say, or decide it's too dangerous to try and say something nice about Fischer. A surprise- Arlen Walker "A nice retrospective with the good, bad and ugly. I think people will remember what they want to remember from Fischer."- Mike Atkins |
