Icon of the sicko Scientific Establishment Carl Sagan [whose daughter later said he smoked marijuana every day of his adult life] wrote an entire book about why Velikovsky was ‘wrong.’ In it pothead Sagan nailed himself as a phony, using no scientific method but only a rabid, frantic dislike of Velikovsky.
The Scientific Establishment threatened Velikovsky’s publisher with a boycott of ALL their books at college bookstores if they didn’t stop publishinvg and distributing Velikovsky’s books. Velikovsky published a whole book consisting of their threatening letters to his publisher.
I have two of Velikovsky’s books, but there are several more I want. I just can’t find them for the prices I can afford.
The Stalin-style show trial by the AAAS sounds like it originated in the jackbooted Sagan’s brain, such as it was.
