  The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox that argues for the incompleteness
of quantum mechanics as a description of physical reality has been put to rest
by John Bell's famous theorem, which inspired numerous experimental tests and
brought about further affirmations of quantum reality. Nevertheless, in his
writings and public presentations, Richard Feynman never acknowledged the
significance of Bell's contribution to the resolution of the EPR paradox. In
this paper, we discuss several variants of the Bell inequalities (including one
that was specifically espoused by Feynman), and explore the ways in which they
demolish the arguments in favor of local hidden-variable theories. We also
examine the roots of Feynman's attitude toward Bell's theorem in the context of
Feynman's special perspective on quantum mechanics.
