C. Leroy Ellenberger recalls that:
“The October 1974 Analog was a “Special Velikovsky Issue” .. The issue was also supposed to have an interview with Velikovsky by Joseph Goodavage. However, he missed Analog’s deadline. It is this interview that should have been in Goodavage’s latest book, Storm on the Sun (Signet, 1979)”[3]C. Leroy Ellenberger, “Heretics, Dogmatists and Science’s Reception of New Ideas (Part 2)”, Kronos Vol. V No. 4 (Summer 1980)
