  A Bethe Ansatz solution of a (modified) Hubbard chain with a Kondo impurity
of arbitrary spin S at a highly symmetric line of parameter space is proposed
and explored. Our results confirm the existence of a strong-coupling (line of)
fixed-point(s) with ferromagnetic Kondo coupling as first hypothetized by
Furusaki and Nagaosa on the basis of perturbative renormalization group
calculations. For on-site Hubbard repulsion and ferromagnetic Kondo exchange,
the ground state has spin S-1/2, i.e., is a singlet when S=1/2. The
contributions of the impurity to the magnetic susceptibility and
low-temperature specific heat are discussed. While the Wilson ratio is unity in
the half-filled band, it is found to be a function of density and interaction
away from half-filling.
