Was Bell's Theorem proven?

Yes, Here's one proof-bad link. American Journal of Physics 50, 811 - 816 (1982).. Here's a statement made by the professor doing the proof:

Einstein died many years ago, and so is not here to defend himself against claims of what he would or would not do today. Nonetheless, I tend to think that if he were alive today, Bell's theorem would force him to accept Quantum Mechanics.

I read Bohm's 'Wholeness and the Implicate Order'. A first rate work, in fact his aquarium analogy and holography is remarkable, but it seems to indicate that Reality has a great deal of things going on of which we currently are unaware. Kinda like how the garbage always gets picked up on time and there's always beer in the beer case. So much is going on behind the scenes that we don't yet know about and it just gets done. IMHO he's got it, but proving it requires knowledge of the Hidden Variables, which we don't have yet. Just like Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
