What??!?!! Sandage is a friend of Arp, but scientifically they could scarcely be further apart on almost any issue of cosmological significance (for decades, Sandage's work defined what was mainstream in observational cosmology). These days, Sandage apparently feels his legacy is ignored simply because the Hubble Key Project team made different (and to his mind inferior) choices of how to handle a number of effects in data analysis, leading to a different (and to his mind quite wrong) value of H0.
It was in Pasadena that a colleague claimed to have seen a bumper sticker saying HONK IF YOU THINK THEY"RE COSMOLOGICAL.
