Does anyone know what is happening in the chess interzonals. Last time I checked Kasparov, Portisch, Adorjan, etc where fighting it out. Anyone know the results?

Kasparov and Korchnoi are slated to duke it out in Pasadena, CA, exile home of Bobby Fischer. Fischer might come out of his hole to watch, oh boy. This is the first time that there's been a candidate's match in the US in a dog's age. I wouldn't be surprised if Kasparov defects, this is his big chance. He's a student of English and a seemingly levelheaded person, but not a drone like Karpov. Has anyone seen Fischer's account of his being "kidnapped" by the Pasadena police force? He says they arrested him for questioning for some crime he didn't commit and they treated him harshly. You can get the pamphlet he wrote by sending him a buck. No chess news in it...
