Frank Niro is writing his Memoirs !!!!

[Sam Sloan]

In an article on Page 2 of USA Today on August 3, 2006 about Radio
Talk Show host Delilah, it is mentioned that Frank Niro, former
Executive Director of the United States Chess Federation, is writing
his memoirs.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/2006-08-02-night-listener_x.htm

The article states:

"Some former listeners have become good friends.

"Frank Niro, onetime executive director of the United States Chess
Federation, met Delilah when she worked in Boston. Today he's living
in her backhouse at her farm while he writes his memoirs."

Delilah lives near Seattle.

I am sure that it will be a good book.

Thanks to Grandmaster Arthur Bisguier for bringing this newspaper
article to my attention.

Why is it that chess criminals write autobiographies?

"Some former listeners have become good friends.

"Frank Niro, onetime executive director of the United States Chess
Federation, met Delilah when she worked in Boston. Today he's living
in her backhouse at her farm while he writes his memoirs.

"She's very generous and helpful to those who are willing to help
themselves, no matter what road they've taken in the past," Niro says.
"She'll help people out if they're willing to straighten their life
out."

I just wonder if Frank Niro is referring to himself in some way by his
last quote.

Why does Neil Brennen refer to Frank Niro as a chess criminal?

Probably because of the ruin he was driving the USCF into - secret
deals, etc. I doubt if he meant it literally, but one could also point
to a certain EB board member who cranks out vanity autobiographies and
is considered by some to be a shady character....

But I thought you knew all about the USCF and its plunge into the
depths of depair? Or is this another Richard Laurie type comment on
your part?

Wasn't Frank Niro one of Al Capone's top henchmen in The Untouchables TV

I believe you are thinking of Frank Nitti.

So, are you going to invite Susan and Boris to the Mel Gibson film

Don't tell Phil. Once he learns he may have some Jewish blood in him he
might have to start insulting himself again.

Is the chess-moron going to write disgusting and trivialising trash for the
rest of his life? For his information, Mel doesn't live here, but Nicole
does, and Johnny, and Whoopi! PI

I mean really! How low can you POSSIBLY get than to write this shit?
Besides, isn't this the coward can't even write his own name since he has
insulted so many people he thinks quite seriously they are out to get him. I
wonder why?

There was only one person with such an interest, a certain Moron Tomic.
At the time, my father had just died (although I am sure Parr will
question whether I ever had one), and by finding his obituary on-line,
started pestering my 70+ year-old mother with phone calls.

That was just a bit much for me, Phil. I don't know about you, but it
seemed like an appropriate thing to do at the time. Whether you approve
is really no concern of mine.

I seem to have trouble with only 3 people in the ng at this time, with
the departure of Moron; you, Parr, and "Nick Bourbakis." The same 3
people everyone else has trouble with. I don't think any of you would
be capable of "getting me." Not that the three of you get much else.

Ah! Even now you provoke someone. Whatever the merits of the Serbian war,
how intlligent is it to provoke someone who has been bombed by your country?

I have also had my stalkers, Steve. I should speak some Latin to you in
private, but the last time I did that to a medico was in mid operation, when
being raised to consciousness from the general, I spoke to the surgeon in
Latin. He didn't understand a word, and later admitted to me that he had nev
er studined it, and asked why I addressed him that way. I said it was some
unconscious sense of his due, and from reading far too much Patrick O'Brian.

If Goran had understood your circumstances, I would hope and would expect
that he would not have plagued you to such an extent - as it was, you did
nothing to reduce tensions, then nor now. When two men provoke each other,
what price humanity?

Be not so parano, brother. Take this as invitation to write about chess, not
about me or you. Otherwise we dig our own graves with our keyboards, no? And
to what effect? Do we illuminate any subject by /only/ regretting those
others who spoke of it, even though they are so evidently daft?

You are neither better nor worse than any one else who does not fulfill
their potential, certainly myself included. This is the human condition -
though if I should only regret you, I am merely a hypocrite, while should I
encourage your more fullsome attention to any and all these matters, then I
avoid becoming a hypocrite [and learn nothing <-- joke] but at least have
the opportunity and potential of learning something from you - and if I
seize that opportunity or let it pass is really my soverign choice as an
individual, which I allow myself absolutely, and in similar circumstance, I
so allow you.

Should you not be able to prove me wrong by virtue of my own words here, you
will not have been paying sufficiently deep attention! - but I am not
playing some game of saints, or idiotic wordisms, which would pay you little
respect, even if I won such a game.

I am a Celt, and as our bloody awful famous bard has pronounced, 'A man's a
man, for a' that', which yet contains an egalitarian attitude to being,
which does not permit superior beings, not sub-human ones neither. All such
are always challenged.

We Celts do fight a lot, don't we Phil?

I BELIEVE HE HAD A FATHER

<At the time, my father had just died (although I am sure Parr will
question whether I ever had one), and by finding his obituary on-line,

started pestering my 70+ year-old mother with phone calls.> --
Rynd-Dowd

Rynd-Dowd, this time writing in the singular,
tells us that I might question whether he has a
father. Not at all. We may take that as a given.

The remainder of his/her or their claims -- unless
he/she or they further asserts or assert a mother and
grandparents -- one takes with so many grains.

The gent forged my name at a website dealing
with student evaluations of teachers at some university
where I never taught. He now argues that he was, ah,
using my name rather than forging an identity -- a new
distinction that one rather relishes.

Earlier, he spoke of the episode as being less than a
stellar moment in his obsessional life. Yesterday, he
tried to deny an episode for which he earlier expressed
embarrassment. Now, he feels justified.

Once again, I don't know our Rynd-Dowd from
David. I know nothing about his family circumstances.
Nor do I care.

I accept virtually nothing he says based on his word
alone. His obsession with my person and his constant
name-calling speaks for itself.

Well, well, well.

Keep saying it over and over and over and over again, Larry; at least,
if no one else takes you seriously ( a common occurence here) you can
convince yourself. And your opinion is all that really matters, right?

[parrt...@cs.com]

THIS MAKES NIRO A CHESS CRIMINAL?!

<Liarry has a short memory these days. Was it only
three years ago he quoted the following from Chessdon's
website: "Unfortunately his abrupt departure without
consultation with USCF leaders and the simultaneous
discovery of numerous financial problems and unfavorable
USCF contracts will hurt both the USCF and Frank's image."> -- The
Historian

Frank Niro is a "criminal" because he wrote some
rotten contracts and made plenty of mistakes? He
might be liable in some civil action, but I see no
evidence that the man in a chess criminal.

Neil Brennen's attack remains unsubstantiated.

We figure it will remain so.

So, for that matter, does Mr. Brennen.

[parrt...@cs.com]

A COMMON OCCURRENCE

>Keep saying it over and over and over and over again,
Larry; at least, if no one else takes you seriously ( a

common occurence here) you can convince yourself.> -- Rynd Dowd

After a bit of screeching, Rynd-Dowd, currently
still in the singular, appears to be deflating. Less
huff and puff for a change.

As for something or other being a "common
occurence" our self-described medical ethicist gets
it right. It is indeed a common occurrence to
misspell "occurrence."

For some, there will always be lumps of dough in
the intellectual batter -- just as there will be those
uncontrollable obsessional episodes when one must
forge the name of another.

Anyone with half a brain can tell than Brennen was expressing an opinion, and
not a point of fact. Heck, even liaring larry knows that, but chooses to make
an issue out a nonissue.

And speaking of unsubstantiated attacks - that comment is extremely hipocritical
coming from the same man who turns a blind eye to Sam Sloan's many
unsubstantiated and unprovoked attacks.

Ay Mon. Tho ritual, as Lorenz said, saves us, and is properly enunciated
life into culture, and to confound friend Freud, is healthy! Not sinister.
It is essential.

We are not Romans nor English, we are

Though the dew's mist, the oak's mass
Come plunging, tossing dark antlers.

An upside-down, buried heaven
Snarls, moon-mouthed, and shivered.

Summer dripping stars, biting at the nape,
Lobworms coupling in saliva.
Earth singing under her breath.

And out in the hard corn a horned god
Running and leaping
With a bat in his drum.

Too, we taught them their letters,
Now, to what e'er all means,
Which is no safe subject, fraught 'tis
With life's own oon.

Cabiri.
