Tom:
I'm surprised to see how scrupulous you are about
factual evidence,especially since Sagan rarely cited any of his sources!
Pat: No wonder you're confused about him. My copy of Cosmos has several pages of references, listed by chapter. Granted, that would be unacceptable for a monograph in the professional literature, but it is more than satisfactory for a popular work on science. I wish others would do as well.
Odd statement from a fellow who supposedly wrote a master's thesis on Sagan. Have you never read any of his scientific papers?
