The results, it was said, of the OOB experiments were so good that there "must be something wrong with them." This is exactly what devoted skeptics say when confronted with many other excellent psi research results. The publishing committee, however, did not consist of devoted skeptics, but of "devoted" parapsychologists of high standing. And these parapsychologists had now completely rejected the Osis OOB experiments -experiments whose designs and safeguards had previously been approved by the Executive Board, and of which the publishing committee officers were also members. The whole of this was, of course, a direct attack on the integrity and competency of Dr. Osis, Janet, and, of course, on my humble self. What this meant for me was that my name as an experimental test subject was mud -- and would have stayed mud unless I had not gone on to bigger things. This, however, was not the time to feel sorry for myself. My heart went out to Osis and Janet -- as did the heart of Mrs. Marion Nester, the editor and producer of the quarterly ASPR NEWSLETTER.
