... here? Do we like to be bamboozled? Do we prefer to be impressed rather than informed? Those may sound like rhetorical questions, but they aren't. The answer to them is yes. At least to a degree, we are wiling to be simply impressed and let it stop there. The real question is not why do people write inflated language; they write it because it often works. The real questions are why does it work and what does it accomplish? Dr. Carl Sagan's use of language illustrates Miss Markle's point superbly. At the risk of sounding like a crank or linguistic purist, I'd like to discuss Dr. Sagan's writing style at length. Semanticists ...

... to accept dear Doctor, the assurance of my sentiments of cordial devotion. Etienne Droiton, General Director Department of Antiquities" Robert H. Pfeiffer, was Chairman of the Department of Semitic Languages and History at Harvard University, and an authority on the Bible. Pfeiffer's published letter to Velikovsky deals with the contents of Worlds in Collision. He writes, "Allow me, first of all, to congratulate you, not of course for the fact that your book has become a run-away best seller, ' but for the magnificent qualities of content and form of your book. I read it with utter fascination and absorption, being carried away by the cosmic drama which you have unfolded ...

44. Velikovsky's "The Dark Age of Greece" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... BCE, scholars concluded that Mycenaean Greece must be far older than was previously imagined. But the history of Greece provided no events to fill such an expanse of time. There were traditions and memories of a time when the Argive Tyrants ruled in the 8th and 7th centuries, but beyond was shadows and silence. "Thus," Velikovsky writes, "by the 1890's, the Hellenists were coerced by the evidence presented by Egyptologists to introduce five centuries of darkness between the end of the Mycenaean Age and the beginning of the Hellenic." This sudden and unexpected appearance of a dark age left classical scholars perplexed and puzzled. Nevertheless, Velikovsky notes, "In the end, ...

... to be remade periodically. Remade, not merely revised, because the past is not dead. The past is gone; in this sense it lies beyond our power and need to concern us. But the past is apt to deceive us. The historical record is sparse, and it thins out the farther back one goes. Many classical writings have disappeared. Our knowledge of antiquity is grossly imperfect and intertwined with legends and fables." James R. Newman Science and Sensibility Vol. I (NY 1961), p. 17 "The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it." Oscar Wilde The Critic as Artist (1891), p. 101 ...

... was going to discuss and debate science, and his expertise was in the area of philosophy, not the hard sciences. This would have made perfect sense if the organizers did not immediately break this rule by having a statistician, Peter Huber, Professor of Mathematical Statistics, present a paper to oppose Velikovsky's hypothesis, which was based on cuneiform writing which Huber considered a "hobby" of his. The irrationality of removing a member from the panel who would defend Velikovsky's work because he was going to talk about matters outside his field of expertise, was then justified by the organizers by keeping a member on the panel who would attack Velikovsky while he was going to talk about matters ...

As his friend Lasswell put it, when writing with Abe Kaplan Power and Society, no ruling class gives up its goods without being forced to do so. This goes pari passu for philanthropoids and publishers, two industries affected with a public interest.

I am sorry that I inadvertently wrote something which turned out to be untrue. I acted in good faith, but it emerges that I was confusing Kronia Communications (which runs the Kronia electronic discussion group) with AEON itself. I have looked back at my earlier exchanges with Ev Cochrane and David Talbott, a number of which related to items in AEON, and it seems ...

Orthography is somewhat fluid even in the writing of native Egyptian words, so that it is not surprising to see two solutions to the problem of rendering the foreign consonant.
