All so-called paranormal events are anomalies that can or will
eventually be
explained by science. So says Gordon Stein in The Encyclopedia of the
Paranormal
(Prometheus, $149.95, ISBN 1 57392 021 5). Carl Sagan suggests
in his
foreword to this epic work that it be required reading for reporters to
encourage them to be more sceptical about the paranormal, and that
schoolchildren need it to counterbalance credulous reports of the
paranormal and
the mystical.
