Court Halts Deportation of Bobby Fischer
Former chess champion Bobby Fischer won a reprieve from the threat of deportation Wednesday when a court ruled he may stay in Japan until it considers a lawsuit he filed to block his ejection, his supporters said.
Fischer is wanted by the United States for violating international sanctions against Yugoslavia when he played a rematch there.
