As much as I appreciate an eye for detail, this isn't a physics lists. In
any event I believe he was not referring to any one particular paper on the
subject - there is a great deal of talk about EPR and its implications out
there. You can start with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_inequality
The gist I think of what he was talking about in the paragraph above is that
there are things that seem to be instantaneous interactions at a distance,
but that these do not transfer information in any formal sense and thus can
be considered not to violate relativity. Maybe.

Deists, I would suppose.
