1. The Scientific Mafia [Journals] [Pensee]
... its subsequent confirmations, constitutes one of the most fascinating chapters in the entire history of thought; and it is one which is still unfolding. This paper can be no more than a sketch of a sketch of it. Those who wish to know more can best begin by reading "The Velikovsky Affair," ed. A. de Grazia. A book called Worlds in Collision was published in the USA in 1950. According to its author, Venus as a planet is only some 3,500 years old. The proto-planet, in effect an enormous comet, had originated, at some earlier time, by disruption from Jupiter. It moved for centuries on a very eccentric ...

... of the assumed mechanism of dynamic interaction of net electric charge with the special field configuration here assumed. Uniform field and higher harmonics are evidently still less suitable." (For the contention that gravitational effects alone could account for the orbital changes of Venus, see the papers by Bass in this issue.) Elizabeth Chesley Baity and Alfred De Grazia: Archaeological Evidences Dr. Baity summarized her lengthy, synthesizing review of the literature on "Bronze Age Cultural Discontinuities" as follows: "It appears from the evidence presented... that the Eurasian and Egyptian Bronze Age site destructions and cultural discontinuities are not fully explained by the four archaeological hypotheses listed here- invasion, drought, local ...

4. Velikovsky's Challenge to the Scientific Establishment [Journals] [Pensee]
... objective' perspective has sociological significance and accounts, in part, for the reception given to new ideas. And unless we come to appreciate the sociological dimensions of science and thereby perceive the intrinsic follies resulting from the objective' myth, we are bound to repeat, once again, the kind of response given to Velikovsky." Alfred de Grazia has written an excellent account outlining the basic conditions of scientific investigation for what he calls the "rationalistic reception system" and how Velikovsky assiduously abided by such demands without, however, winning acceptance from most astronomers (1 ). Journals devoting special attention to Velikovsky have been inordinately sensitive to objectivity: the Yale Scientific Magazine expressed its viewpoint ...

6. A Look At the Evidence [Journals] [Pensee]
... 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. ...
7. Freeing The Log Jam [Journals] [Pensee]
... it had died down, published discussions about the issues raised in the book were rare. The Velikovsky Affair, a composite work which appeared in 1966 (and in a revised British paperback edition in 1978), was an expanded presentation of a selection of articles published in the American Behavioral Scientist in 1963 under the editorship of Dr Alfred de Grazia: this for the first time documented in detail the many examples of unscientific and near-hysterical reactions which Velikovsky's first book provoked. Much of The Velikovsky Affair was taken up with this, and also with reflections on the nature of science and of the scientific mentality; actual discussions of the hard evidence were few, although an impressive list of ...
8. 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 ...
9. Miscellaneous [Journals] [Pensee]
... VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR" NOW AVAILABLE. In September, 1963, the American Behavioral Scientist devoted an entire issue to the "Velikovsky affair," containing the most complete story ever published of the reception of Velikovsky's work by the scientific community. In 1967 this material, supplemented and updated, appeared in a book, The Velikovsky Affair (Alfred de Grazia, editor). Available in most libraries, this book cannot be purchased or ordered through bookstores. However, The Velikovsky Affair (hardbound, 260 pp.) may now be obtained at a cost of $6 .16 (postage included) from Pensee, P.O . Box 414, Portland, Oregon 97207. ON ...

... been made to reject the article. "Subsequently it was also rejected by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. In that magazine in April, 1964, an abusive article was published by a Mr. Howard Margolis, attacking Velikovsky and his work. The editor of the Bulletin, Dr. Eugene Rabinowitch, in a letter to Professor Alfred de Grazia, editor of the American Behavioral Scientist, offered Velikovsky an opportunity to reply with an article not more abusive' than that of Margolis, or, instead, to have some of his views presented in the Bulletin by some scientist of repute. Then Professor H. Hess submitted the article "Venus- A Youthful Planet," to Dr ...

I am grateful to Mr. Cardona for having corrected an error in my research of which I myself became aware just as Pensee was going to press. W. Mullen STUDY CENTER PLANNED. Dr. William Mullen, Pensee associate editor, and Professor Alfred de Grazia, editor of The Velikovsky Affair, are sponsoring plans for an informal, cooperative study center concerned with problems in catastrophism. They have in mind establishing it in an unused school building in the castle of the town of Naxos, Island of Naxos, Greece. Eight additional founding members are sought at this time among persons who have some ...
