"What else did you do, beside hand this story to the _Valley Times?_ I'd better hear all about it." "I phoned the secretary of the American Institute of Psionics and Parapsychology, as soon as I saw this morning's paper. With the time difference to the East Coast, I got him just as he reached his office. He advised me to give the thing the widest possible publicity; he thought that would advance the recognition and study of parapsychology. A case like this can't be ignored; it will demand serious study...."

"Yes." His anger died down as Fitch spoke. "I'm glad Tom stopped me from making an ass of myself. I can see your side of it." Maybe that was the curse of the professional intellectual, an ability to see everybody's side of everything. He thought for a moment.  TURNED TO FITCH I WON'T TALK ABOUT SENDING OUR STUDENTS TO PUMP MINE BUT AT LEAST YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME BEFORE YOU GAVE THAT STORY OUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SORE ABOUT FITCH DEFENDED HIMSELF I BELIEVED YOU WHEN EVERYBODY ELSE THOUGHT YOU WERE CRAZY AND IF I HADN'T COLLECTED SIGNED AND DATED STATEMENTS FROM YOUR BOYS THERE'D HAVE BEEN NO SUBSTANTIATION IT HAPPENS THAT EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION MEANS AS MUCH TO ME AS HISTORY DOES TO YOU I'VE BELIEVED IN IT EVER SINCE I READ ABOUT RHINE'S WORK WHEN I WAS A KID I WORKED IN E S P FOR A LONG TIME THEN I HAD A CHANCE TO GET A FULL PROFESSORSHIP BY COMING HERE AND AFTER I DID I FOUND THAT I COULDN'T GO ON WITH IT BECAUSE WHITBURN'S PRESIDENT HERE AND HE'S A STUPID OLD BIGOT WITH AN AIR LOCKED MIND YES HIS ANGER DIED DOWN AS FITCH SPOKE I'M GLAD TOM STOPPED ME FOR MAKING AN ASS OF MYSELF I CAN SEE YOUR SIDE OF IT MAYBE THAT WAS THE CURSE OF THE PROFESSIONAL INTELLECTUAL AN ABILITY TO SEE EVERYBODY'S SIDE OF EVERYTHING HE THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT
