To prevent further misrepresentations of Einstein....it *is* clear from
Einstein's correspondence and statements by Helen Dukas, his personal
secretary, that he did take Velikovsky's ideas at least seriously enough to
have extensive discussions with V. before E.'s death. His use of *meshuggas*
*is* precisely in keeping with his humorous use of the word in other contexts.
Opponents of V. simply do not want to admit that Einstein took V.'s ideas
seriously at all. So Roger is wrong about this one................Dallas

P.S. More on Venus later.
