LETTERS, Page 4"A Born Explainer"
As I read the story about Isaac Asimov, who has written 403
books (PROFILE, Dec. 19), I was reminded of one American whose
output exceeds that of Asimov. Cotton Mather, the foremost
intellectual leader of New England in his day, wrote more than 450
books.

I find that Asimov has reversed two of the major premises of
New Age thinking. Rather than being a "throwback" to the past, New
Age thought is the evolution of man's awareness and connection with
the universal system. Far from living "in terror," New Age writers
stress self-responsibility, which serves to reduce the anxiety of
powerlessness.
