Non-baseball: Searching for Bobby Fischer

I'm sure by know you've heard that former chess champion Bobby Fischer was arrested at a Tokyo airport on Friday, after over ten years of exile. He was wanted by the US government for traveling to Yugoslavia in 1992 for a chess match against Boris Spassky.

I knew that Mr. Fischer was renowned for his... let's say... extreme viewpoints on a number of subjects. But I did not know how far off the deep-end he had gone. Read this article and see what I mean. It sounds as if this man isn't just ignorant, he's in desperate need of some mental help.
