Book Reviews Gullible's Travels in Psi-Land
Book Reviews Gullible's Travels in Psi-Land Mindwars: The True Story of Secret Government Research into the Military Potential of Psychic Weapons. By Ronald M. McRae. St. Martin's Press, New York, 1984. 192 pp. $12.95 Philip J. Klass HE BOOK JACKET reads: "Did you know the government is spending tax Tdollars on projects like 'Madame Zodiac' and the 'First Earth Battalion'? What is the 'psychic howitzer' and can it really blast missiles out of the sky? In this controversial book, Ron McRae documents the incredible story of official research into the military uses of parapsychology. Using interviews with confi dential inside sources along with recently declassified documents, he reveals the suppressed results of long-term top-secret research into telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis carried out by the Navy, the CIA, and the nation's most prestigious research institutes. Whether or not you believe in the powers of parapsychology, you'll be convinced that Mindwars holds profound implications for the future of warfare, science and mankind." This book convinced me that, if the government opted to sue the publisher under the truth-in-labeling laws, it would win its case handily, even allowing for the customary "hype" of book jackets. The well-known columnist Jack Anderson, who wrote the book's introduc tion, offers useful background on the author: "Ron McRae knows investigative journalism from inside and out. For several years, he was one of those 'unauthor ized sources' within the government I have always depended on. In 1979, he came in from the cold and joined my staff as an intern. -

Devianz Und Anomalistik: Bewährungsproben Der Wissenschaft Prof
Zeitschrift für Anomalistik Band 5 (2005), S. 5-30 Devianz und Anomalistik: Bewährungsproben der Wissenschaft Prof. Dr. Marcello Truzzi (1935-2003) GERD H. HÖVELMANN 1 Am Nachmittag des 2. Februar 2003 starb in Great Lake, Michigan, 67jährig der amerikani- sche Soziologe Prof. Dr. Marcello Truzzi nach einem Krebsleiden, dessen er sich mehrere Jahre lang mit der ihm eigenen Willenskraft und Leidenschaft erwehrt hatte. Marcello Truzzi kann als Initiator und entscheidender Vordenker sowie als einflussreicher Moderator des Diskurszusammenhangs der „Anomalistik“ gelten. Und das ist nur eines, wenn auch kein geringes, seiner Verdienste. Eine persönliche Vorbemerkung Dem Leben und dem Wirken eines Menschen auf be- schränktem Raum in einem Nachruf gerecht zu werden, wird nicht um so einfacher, sondern um so schwieriger, je länger und besser man diesen Menschen gekannt hat und je enger man ihm verbunden war. Die Schwierigkeit dieser Aufgabe wächst zudem mit der Anzahl und Vielfalt der- jenigen Dinge, in denen der betreffende Mensch sich im Laufe seines Lebens besonders hat auszeichnen können. Die beiden Umstände, dass ich einerseits mit Marcello Truzzi ein Vierteljahrhundert lang, von 1978 bis zu seinem Tod, befreundet war und wir über Jahre hinweg trotz großer geographischer Distanz in fast täglichem Kontakt standen, und dass andererseits Marcello wahrlich in vielerlei – nicht nur in wissenschaftlichen – Hinsichten Außer-ordentliches geleistet hat, mögen dem Leser eine erste Ahnung meiner Verlegenheiten geben. Und schon diese Eingangsbemerkung ist zumindest er- läuterungsbedürftig. Häufige, mitunter tägliche Verbin- Marcello Truzzi (1935-2003) dung mit jemandem an einem beliebigen Ort der Welt zu pflegen, ist in unseren Tagen in- stantanen Email-Verkehrs zumindest kein technisches oder logistisches Problem mehr. -
