I'm feeling much better now and Dr. Petrov was very kind to give me a fresh brain washing. Thanks LaurelHS and R.A.F. for your concern!

Daniel Goldin was interviewed by Sheena McDonald for the Channel 4 program, The VISION THING, that aired on August 29, 1994. The 30-minute interview is listed in BFI's database, but I have been unable to find any readily available online transcript of the interview.

Mary D. Bennett and David S. Percy supposedly made use of the Goldin interview in their book, Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle-Blowers. The chapter notes poorly cites the source of the Goldin interview. Their commentary regarding Goldin's statements begins on page 458 and continues into at least the next page. I don't have a copy of the book, and the two booksellers that I frequent in my area do not have the book available in-store, so I don't know what more the authors had to say. (I have thumbed through the book in the past.)

Ken from Dublin, can you help us?
