I am puzzled as to why you would put him in the same category as Lyndon LaRouche. I put his ability to mesmerize people in the same category. Galambos did not seek this kind of "Religious" attitude, but the people who took his courses were so awed by him that they became "Followers." There is a generic version of "God said it, I believe it, and that's it."

Speaking of internet and "easy to find more about something/someone"....... I like some books that are out of print....have been trying my luck at finding some of them....Mentioned here I bought The Disappearance, by Philip Wylie yesterday at the "buy it now" price....Also have been looking for a special old binding for The Child's History of England, by Dickens, and a wonderful book from the 40's or 50's called "Lazy Liza Lizard", by Marie Rains. Was STUNNED to find out that Lazy Liza is going for $250.00+++!!! I just remembered it as a wonderful book, but it turns out it was the Harry Potter of it's day. Anyone got one I could buy for cheaper???? <g> Also re the Child's History of England book....Google has provided some interesting info about the early publishers and when they were in business, and who bought them out and when.... Good things to know if one is going to bid on any old "stuff".....
