Astrophysics Lines: 20 Public Television is featuring a program on the World Championship. In the NYC area, it can be viewed on Channel 13, Sundays at 3PM. In last week's program, Boris Spassky was a guest commentator. The moves of game 6 were arriving through telex, during the show, which meant that the show was not live, since that game had already appeared on the net. Curiously enough, the hosts seemed as interested in a lousy micro- computer's analysis as that of the former world champion. I am not complaining, since it is a miracle to me that such a program is shown at all on television here. For the story, Spassky hopes and thinks that Kasparov will win the match, but he was only one game down at the time. Since I missed the beginning of the show, perhaps others in USENET land have interesting things to add about it. P.S. A previous article of mine had the wrong login name in the path provided in the signature file. This has been corrected here. -- Gary Mamon Princeton University Astrophysics (609)-452-3579 {allegra,akgua,burl,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,noao,princeton,vax135}!astrovax!gam
