| Um, Larry, this was a simple question, not attacking you or anyone,
having nothing to do with any flame war, and calling for a simple
answer, basically "yes" or "no," or "I don't know" if appropriate.
Here's the question again:
I'm asking this since I figure Parr will know Larry Evans'
writings. On page 351 of the new edition of "Russians versus
Fischer" there is an excerpt from TASS, which quotes Evans as writing
in the July 1972 New York Post: "Bobby calmly plays can-and-mouse
with Boris." I would think that surely "can" is a typo, that Evans
wrote "cat-and-mouse". Can Parr or anyone else confirm this?
