... his views- these black marks cast a disconcerting pall over the achievements of modern science. But such matters are dealt with only secondarily in this special issue of Pensee. The sordid story of Velikovsky's reception at the hands of scientific illuminati has been related elsewhere. (See American Behavioral Scientist, 1963; or The Velikovsky Affair, ed. de Grazia, available from FOSMOS, 1503 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036.) Meanwhile, evidence from diverse fields has mounted yearly, weighting the scales increasingly in Velikovsky's favor. One need not endorse his theories in order to conclude that a full-scale discussion of their validity and implications ought to proceed immediately within all the affected disciplines. ...
227. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... " from his listeners. Dr. Earl Milton, in a tribute to the late Dr. C. E. R. Bruce and the late Ralph Juergens entertained us with ideas of "Electric Stars in a Gravity-less Cosmos" and offered convincing arguments for doubting whether gravity is a separate force. The last speaker was Prof. Alfred de Grazia who had increased his six absolutes for testing a 1500 B.C . catastrophe as advertised, to ten, and in those ten areas set out specific objections to the accepted chronology. He also introduced us to a new word for catastrophic evolution - quantavolution - evolution proceeding by sudden jumps. The meeting was well attended with Members coming ...
228. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... Editor's note: A short time after he wrote the above letter to Ev Cochrane, from which some personal information has been deleted, Earl Milton sadly passed away. The discussion re stellar spectra mentioned in his letter is published as a short article elsewhere in this issue. See also the following letter.) Farewell to a Friend Alfred de Grazia, from Trenton, New Jersey, writes (from a eulogy he read at Earl Milton's funeral, from which some personal matters have been omitted): Time plays tricks on us. When I learned that death had come suddenly upon Earl Milton, my memory trudged back to our first meeting. Then it came to me poignantly that ...
229. The Recency of the Surface [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Lately Tortured Earth, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE The Recency of the Surface If a fossil whale standing on its tail can disprove "millions of years" of sedimentary accumulation, perhaps a live animal can try to do the same. Igor Akimushkin tells us how "The cepola fish... may sit still for hours on the crooked end of its tail, with its wide-open jaws turned upwards expectantly, waiting patiently for heavenly manna to fall into its mouth." '[ 1 ] The cepola is a fish of the abyssal ocean, where it lives in perpetual darkness. If it feeds this way for twelve hours a ...
230. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: God's Fire, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER ONE Plagues and Comets Disbelief in the Book of Exodus, for the modern educated person, begins with the fantastic story of the infant Moses' survival and salvation in the bulrushes of the Nile, advances through Moses' encounter with the Burning Bush whence speaks Yahweh, ascends rapidly with the plagues of Egypt that follow his threats as Yahweh's messenger, and reaches a climax in the parting of the waters to let the Israelites escape and the closing of the waters upon the Egyptians. Thereafter the incredulous reader can only sigh as one after another lesser miracle occurs - water from tapping a rock with a wand ...
231. The Prodigal Archive [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: Cosmic Heretics, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWO The Prodigal Archive The other book, that which won Velikovsky fame, income, and scientific disgrace, was a happy accident of publishing. It could hardly have become a best-seller on its merits; very few books do, and this one was not easy to read or flamboyant. Worlds in Collision was reluctantly published, deceptively publicized, and foolishly attacked. It was written in the 1940's, after Ages in Chaos had been completed and had been circulating among publishers and collecting one rejection after another. Evidently the later work had the better chance, because of its larger, more explosive message. ...
232. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: God's Fire, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER THREE Catastrophe and Divine Fires If the Israelites did not know that a great comet was visiting disaster upon the Earth, they would be the only people in the world from whom the knowledge was withheld. In fact, they did know. And they called it by god-names just as everybody else did in those days. But it is also true that a peculiar kind of suppression of cometary evidence is present in the Israelite record, for which there is an explanation. In Chapter 1, I offered several pieces of evidence that the Israelites knew a comet was in the sky, and that the disasters ...
... , and I owe gratitude to many. For important encouragement and support, I thank Myra; Barbara, Paul, and Reid; and Beverly, Brauch, Don, Dorothy, Grant, and the other members of our group of the Association for Rational Thinking. Helpful comments on an early draft came particularly from Brad Canon. Alfred de Grazia was exceedingly objective and gracious in recognizing merits in a work whose nuances he himself would hardly emphasize. Marcello Truzzi helped me further to recognize where my bias had influenced me more strongly than I had wished. When I blanched at the prospect of yet another thoroughgoing rewriting, my energy was sustained by favorable comments on parts of the manuscript ...

... his main areas of knowledge. He cast electricity and electromagnetism as the principal players in all the forces that composed and activated the world and mind. His theories would even transform gravitational laws and phenomena into electrical processes. Earl Milton leaves over a thousand pages of manuscript that we shall do our best to bring into the light. Alfred de Grazia ...
236. The Subject Of Defamation [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... began. Velikovsky was tormented and destroyed by such egoists as Carl Sagan because, contrary to what is often said, he was an establishment person himself. Anyone having prestige in the academic or professional power structure was taken seriously by him. He pretended to "challenge" scientists, but he was really seeking their admiration and approval. De Grazia was correct in asserting that what Velikovsky wanted was not support from the ghetto, but a son like Carl Sagan, the winner, the recipient of so many awards from so many academic power centers that he must be an accomplished scientist among the finest who ever lived. Velikovsky, and some of those close to him in his own ...

... some value, enhanced, I feel, by the author not being a disciple of NATURE. Despite the mainly orthodox approach, some less orthodox thoughts may be suggested to the reader. Acknowledgement: to Birgit Liesching, who drew my attention to this book. Jill Abery ADVERTISEMENT GOD'S FIRE: MOSES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF EXODUS by Alfred de Grazia "A scientific adventure into a peak historical crisis involving Moses, Pharaoh, the great God Yahweh, their desperate peoples, the fall of civilisations, and the birth of a new age.

... be cut off from his people. 'Moses depended crucially for control on being recognised as the one and true channel by which divine ordinances were laid upon Israel: thus it was in his interests to foster the magical and mysterious, and to keep the real explanation secret. This policy of deliberate subterfuge is an undercurrent' (if de Grazia will pardon the pun) to his book Moses and his Electric God. I hope to return to this theme in a later paper. Reade suggested [6 ] that modern Middle Eastern confections such as primitive forms of Turkish delight and halva may be close relatives of manna. If memories of the culinary properties of the bread of heaven ...
244. Forbidden Science by Richard Milton [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is so much wrong and in need of attention. Forbidden Science is worth a read, even though it falls well short of the claims made for it, but be warned that it will irritate as much as it will enlighten - and some of the promised inspiration will feel more like exasperation.

245. Morning Star* [Journals] [Aeon]
... In this, of course, he was trapped by his knowledge, as others before him and since have also been, that Horus was represented as the Morning Star. (212) Following Mercer's lead Velikovsky also accepted Horus as an earlier name of the planet Jupiter, (213) an identification that was also adhered to by Alfred de Grazia. (214) But while, as we have seen, the name Horus was at one time applied to the Jovian planet, the identification is only correct for those cases where the name is followed by the particular qualification that distinguishes it as the planet in question- that is "ap-sheta," "pe-sheta," etc. ...

... Mattei, from San Jose, California, writes: Felice Vinci has done what was considered an almost impossibility. He has opened up a new front in the battle lines of the Homeric question...After reading Vinci's work one is irresistibly tempted to say "yes" to the origins of the Greek peoples in Scandinavia. Alfred de Grazia, from Princeton, N. J., writes: I find [Vinci's thesis] powerful, methodical, important, and convincing. Leszek Wysocki, from McGill University, Montreal, writes: This work poses so many intelligent and pertinent questions and offers so many brilliant solutions to various problems contained in the Homeric epics that it would ...

250. Straka: Science or Anti-Science? [Journals] [Pensee]
... . The finding of grown stalactites in the Gnome Cavern, New Mexico, one year after an atomic explosion in the cavern, caused much surprise. But the deeper question at issue is this: Would all stalactites break if the Earth were brought to a stop in a matter of hours? This question was already answered when Professor Alfred de Grazia (The Velikovsky Affair, University Books, N.Y ., 1966, p. 231) remarked: if the Earth required six hours to decelerate, the inertial push on a body at the equator would equal about 1/500th of its weight, which means that a man weighing 160 pounds would feel a push of about ...
