Image of the Beast – C. J. McKnight – 5 March 1978.
In 1978 David Rorvik, a freelance science writer based in San Francisco wrote a book entitled: ‘In His Image: the cloning of a man’, Philadelphia: Lippincott 239p; 22cm c1978. He then traveled around the country speaking in various places, i.e. Western Washington University, claiming that the book was not fiction. In march of 1978 he was interviewed by Hilda Bryant of the Seattle Post Intelligencer and two articles were printed on the second and third of that month. I believe that his lectures were a publicity stunt in order to sell more of his books. It worked, I bought the book and read it and felt his book would have made a very good Hollywood movie.
