Abstract
We consider whether the original EPR state and related Gaussian-correlated states can accommodate a local hidden variables description. We show that, despite persuasive evidence to the contrary, such a description is impossible for these states. We consider the implications of our analysis and in particular its relevance for the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics.
