The Velikovsky Affair, Then and Now
_________________________________________________________________

The whole story and then some is told in a massive new book titled
"Stephen J. Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky, Essays in the Continuing
Velikovsky Afafair" with sections written by Charles Ginenthal, Irving
Wolfe, Lynn Rose, Dwardu Cardona, David Talbott, and Ev Cochrane, and
edited by Dale Ann Pearlman.

This one is a major bombshell and a total expose of establishment
science and the manner in which it came unglued and has remained
unglued in its inability to deal with Immanuel Velikovsky's challenge
to its own worldview.

Chapters include:

1.  The Original Velikovsky Affair, by Irving Wolfe.
2.  The A.A.A.S. Symposium on Velikovsky by Charles
Ginenthal.
3.  The AAAS Afair from 20 Years After by Lynn Rose.
4.  Henry Bauer and Immanuel Velikovsky by Charles
Ginenthal.
5.  Beneath Bauer by Irving Wolfe.
6.  All Honorable Men, Journalists and Scientists as Misrepresenters
by Charles Ginenthal.
7.  Cometary Venus by Dwardu Cardona.
8.  Bob Forrest and Venus as a Comet in World Mythology by
David Talbott and Ev Cochrane.
9.  Asimov in Absurdity by Charles Ginenthal.
10. Pompous Asimov by Irving Wolfe.
11. Stephen J. Gould and Immanuel Velikovsky by Charles 
Ginenthal.
12. A Rage to Deny;  the Roots of the Velikovsky Affair by
Irving Wolfe.
13. From Calendars to Chronology by Lynn E. Rose.
14. Transcripts of the AAAS Symposium on Velikovsky,
1/25/74 by Lynn E. Rose.

None of the well known critics of Velikovsky escape unscathed other
than, perhaps, Carl Sagan who, as Wolfe notes, is massively dealt with
(aced, laced, re-aced, disgraced, effaced, debased, and erased etc.)
in Charles Ginenthal's recent book on the subject.

It is clear that leading members of the scientific establishment have
been guilty of reprehensible and, in all likelihood, criminal conduct,
and that they have conducted themselves in a manner best described as
mass hysteria while simultaneously, for the most part, managing to
intimidate the American press and prevent the full scope of their
activities from having been known.

The conduct and tactics of those following in the footsteps of the
Shapeleys and Geposchkins over the years have improved marginally if
at all, as is documented. Moreover, academic inertia being what it is,
the name Velikovsky remains a tabu word in most parts of academia,
even while a sort of a watered-down catastrophism begins to appear in
places, forced by the weight of evidence which continues to pile up.

The current version of the book runs to about 800 pages and is
expensively bound. A future version in the hands of a major publisher
would probably be more like 450-500 pages.
