"It takes real talent to produce garbage of this quality," says David Halperin of his love-hate relationship to the
History Channel's new series ambiguously related to the former long-running Air Force UFO project. And Halperin pulls no punches, where others have, about the confusing mess this series has made of real, recent history. This is not Rollo, the 9th-10th century CE Viking we're talking about; it's very recent individuals and townspeople whose portrayal is distorted. Nor does Rich Reynolds hold back, cursing
UFO People! Certain historians do have problems with media misrepresentations of the recent past as based on fact. It also seems to some that the general disregard for history--fueled admittedly in part by the lamentable ways it has often been taught--is partly to blame for our various current situations. A small slice of personal history is recounted by Paul Dale Roberts in
My Association with Professor Josef Allen Hynek. Roberts says he loves Aidan Gillen's "portrayal of this legendary scientist." He also relates a personal Hynek memory that will make those of us, who had our own, smile. (WM)
