“…Teng said some beautiful things about the “Polar Bear” (U.S.S.R.)…I really wish…he came right out and said what Red China had been saying for years namely that the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. are WORKING TOGETHER for world HEGEMONY!”

American firm buys film rights
Reykjavik (UPI) — The film and picture rights for the Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess match have been bought by an American company and all other still and film photographers are banned from the hall.
Chester Fox Inc., of New York bought the right from the Icelandic Chess Federation for an undisclosed sum of money.
The action drew strong criticism from the Icelandic press several weeks ago and a special deal was worked out enabling Iceland's five daily newspapers to buy pictures from Chester Fox Inc.
The Icelandic State Television, currently closed down for a four-week holiday, will also get free films after the first games have been played.
Cameramen and still photographers, who have no contract with the owner of the rights, will be barred from entering the hall unless they leave their cameras outside.
Above every entrance to the 3,000 seat hall, is a big sign warning spectators that cameras are forbidden inside.
NOTE: This particular news item appears simultaneously, when the racist Nixon administration is at the height of further romancing the Imperial, Atomic-Behemoth, Soviet Union with “trade agreements,” between Washington and the Industrial elite, perfuming it with overtures of giving “preferential trade” status to the Soviet Empire. Supporters in media, unwavering devotion to whichever way Nixon makes the political winds blow, newspaper editors publish outright attacks on Fischer — whilst lavishing praise and heaping bloviated glorifications upon Imperial Soviet Russia. Even making the absurd claim the “Cold War” had ended and long forgotten … “over” they said, in spite of nuclear stockpiles pointed at each other to keep the petty American and Russian people in check under the false illusions our governments were surely “protecting us” from the other. What a “simply horrible person” Fischer was for offending the imperial partners in decades of behind-the-scenes commercial world hegemony! Official sources admit the “Cold War” between the U.S. and Russian-dominated Soviet Union, did not come to its end until 1991.
