Less well-known is that the State Department has refused to give him a visitor's visa, citing probable ties to violent left-wing groups in Latin America (i.e., those trying to bring down regimes that the U.S. props up.) I guess the USSR is the nation that throws out Nobel Laureates, and the U.S. is the one who won't let them in. It's tough at the top. Michael Turner ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner
