Moreover, McCaffrey' s proposal smacks of subliminal racism. Social
psychologist Walli Leff tells me, "I think most of the movement to involve
young people in chess is directed toward the African-American

be drug users. I think white middle-class suburban parents would have a fit

I out of it and am I missing a new, white middle-class suburban
submissiveness?"

McCaffrey had been influenced by Chesschild, a group sponsored by

rights activists by having celebrities come out of the pot-smoking closet.
Already, veteran stand-up comic George Carlin—in an interview by The
Daily Show' s Jon Stewart following Carlin' s HBO special—admitted that
