Heh.  The Student Government Association at college, for
unaccountable reasons, had "lectures" by both von Daniken
and Velikovsky.

I saw the Velikovsky one; my impression, a crackpot, of course,
but an honest crackpot of the old school.

Von Daniken I didn't bother seeing; I've always though he
was a grifter, and a not very interesting or intelligent one.
