Show Makes HerPredictions stretch of the imagination, be credited to telepathy. For example, Jeane cannot explain her prophecy of the tragic Apollo disaster, described in her new book, “My Life and Prophecies.” (The Apollo II burned on its launching pad during preflight test on Jan, 27, 1968, killing astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee.) She had this precognition at a pre-Christmas luncheon with Mrs. Fred Stout, whose husband is now third in commandof the Apollo Project. When Mrs.Stout asked Jeane what she saw for the upcoming flight, Jeane instinctively reached toward the bag which Mrs. Stout had placed on a chair between them. “You have something here,” she said, “a cubicle of some kind, that is pertinent to the Apollo. Could I haveit, please?” (Jeane rarely asks for any related object and does not usually work through psychometry.) Rummaging in her bag, Mrs. Stout brought out a plastic cube that held a miniature model of the Apollo Jeane, closing her hand around it and shutting her eyes, proceeded to relate exactly what was to happen— and why. To quote from her new book, Jeane says: “I find it strange that T, who do not understand how an ordinary light bulb works, should have had such a clear picture of the it would come about because of a book—as it did. From the time Jac- Apollo’s wiring that I could have drawn a diagram ofit.” Jeane’s sensitivity to the Kennedy over William Manchester's “Death of a President,” which he had under- family has been marked for a long polls have shown her popularity to be on a decline.

Following the assassination, Rose Dickens, Jeane's friend and manicurist, pressed her as to whether Jacqueline’s popularity would wane because of something she did or didn’t do. Jeane finally told Rose that Today astrology enjoys perhaps the greatest boom in its 5,000-yearhistory. Look on any newsstand, and you'll find astrology cookbooks, dating and marriage guides—even astrological advice to teen-agers. And, too, there are numerousperiodicals directed at the astrology buff, which sell as fast as they can be put into print. Editor & Publisher recently noted that 1,200 of the nation’s 1,750 daily newspapers now publish horoscopes (20 years ago there were a scant 100), causing such astrologers as Carrol! Righter. Shirley Spencer, Dale McConalthy, and Sydney Oramm to become nationally known. Jeane Dixon, too, now writes a syndicated astrology column. The question most often asked is—why? Why is there such interest in a “science” so universally condemned through the ages by thescientific community? Many psychologists explain the phenomenon as a reaction to today’s fantastic scientific achievements—space exploration, biological research, nuclear physics. Others believe it is inerely 9 recurring fad, similar in many ways—if not in degree—to the recurrence of yo-yos and ouija boards. While communications expert Marshall McLuhan calls astrology a “media for our electric age,” New York psychoanalyst Dr. Donald Kaplan calls it no more than “a pop science, employing magicalthinking. Since our culture is so scientifically oriented,it is like a direct snub, much the same as popart is to academic art.” Although astrology buffs often have found themselves the object of ridicule, they remain steadfast. The reason forthis is simple, according to Prof. Gibson Reaves of the University of Southern California departmentofastrology: “‘People say they can’t understand how astrology can work.

A project engineer agreed and said, “Maybe your explosion accounts for the fun- ny vibration just reported by the Apollo crew.” As yet, there has been no announcement of any outer-space ex- plosion. “But there will be,” Jeane says with quiet confidence. In everyday life, Jeane, in contrast to her fame as a seer, is simple and industrious, completely comprehensible. She is a loving wife. has a German hausfrau’s dedication to cleanliness in her home, good food on hertable, and color and fragrance in her garden. She works long and hard in her husband's real-estate firm, never taking a vacation, never wanting one. She is also a refreshingly unapologetic “‘do-gooder.”” Her charities are many. And all earnings from her psychic gift—royalties, newspaper, magazine, and speaking revenues— go to her pet charity, “Children to Children,” of which she is founder and president, Jeane Dixon can be summed upin just a few words: she’s a marvelous mystery. @ “problem” perspiration solved even for thousands who perspire heavily An antiperspirant that really works!
