    It is a fact he was vehemently anti-semetic, thinking he was only half Jewish. It was found out later both his mom and is bio dad were jewis so he was going off on himself as well as Jews around the world. He gave rants on Phillipine radio that are public knowledge and jumped for joy when the US was attacked on 911. He was paranoid to the nth degree and his bank actually told him he could no longer have accounts there due to his anti-semitism rants that were full public knowledge.

    He may not have been mentally ill in the medical sense but he was unhinged at the very least.

    Being ant-Semitic is not a mental illness, giving rants gainst the USA is also not a mental illness although I personally advocate calmness as a health precaution. Nothing you or anyone else has proffered could be considered as evidence of a mental illness and its lunacy to think that it can.

    There is certainly evidence that he experienced high levels of paranoia. - His 1972 championship game against Boris Spassky comes to mind. (Not that I know enough about him to offer a full diagnosis).

    really? what high levels of paranoia? The Russians had the chairs the players were sitting on taken apart and searched, were they also suffering from high levels of paranoia?

    A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle

    "This lyrical, witty ode to Provence has become the template for scores of travel essays by Mayle admirers. None of them, however, can match the blend of lighthearted humor and sensuous detail that Mayle offers his readers in A Year in Provence. The chronicle of a former advertiser who undertakes the renovation of an ancient French farmhouse, A Year in Provence introduces readers to a wealth of quirky characters, lucious meals, and innumerable mishaps as the author and his wife settle into the Provençal lifestyle."

    Now reading a sci fi, Thunderbird by Jack McDevitt. A kind of star gate story, the twist on this one is it being dug up, about 12,000 years in the ground in Sioux territory on a rez. So the Sioux have possesion and control as to who goes to what destination. Imaginative story.

    I read to my wife and she to me:

    Kazuo Ishiguro Alles was wir zu geben hatten (original: Never let me go)

    A very intense read.
