Authors report that planets within the sol;i~ sy~tem may be classified into
three 5roups based on probable existence of life by comparative examination

planet within indicated scale of groups may be established by comparison of
spectroscopic abi;~rption lines.

De Grazia, Alfred, ed. The Velikovsky affair: the warfare of science and
scientisrn. New Hyde Park, N. Y., University Books, 1966, 260 p,
In 1950, Worlds in Collision by Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky documented the
evidence and sequence of castastrophes on earth and in the solar system. His
historical and cosmological concepts constituted an assault on established theories
of astronomy, geology, and histcrical biology and thereby gave rise to a
controversy in scienti.fic and intellectual circles about scientific theories and
the sociology of science. This volume contains papers relating to the Velikovsky
controversy by Ralph E. Juergens, Livio C. Stecchini, Alfred de Grazia, and
Immanuel Velikovsky.
