LAWRENCE S. KUBIE, M.D. 7 EAST 81ST STREET NEW YORK 28, N.Y. BUTTERFIELD 8-5230 October 23, 1947 Mr. Clifton Fadiman 104 East 37th Street New York City Dear Kip, Here is all the information I have been able to get a hold of about Velikovsky. Dr. Lewin: “Only knows that he wrote some articles on Freud, either for the Psychoanalytic Review or the American Imago.” Dr. Federn: “Knows him well. A genius—a great man. Excellent psychoanalyst. An M.D., member of the Palestine group. Some revolutionary scientific ideas that some people think are crazy, but he is a genius. Would not consider him for a teacher; but as an analyst have sent him some of my most difficult cases.” There is no reason why you should not approach Dr. Paul Federn of 239 Central Park West. He is a venerable old fellow, and he will tell you all he knows.   Cordially, (signed) Larry Lawrence S. Kubie, M.D. LKS: jmm
