It is at Chessbase at the moment. Spassky has recently turned 75!. He
was given a certificate by Kirsan.
At the page http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7883 the
photo is actually the first non-black-and-white photo!

And now, in celebration of his most lucrative career performance, GM
Spassky will spit upon a genuine facimile of the US State Department
Order not to play chess.
