BOBBY FISCHER -
I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
BOBBY FISCHER -
These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they’re going to know the truth when I do this book!
