    "Morgan is indeed soaring. Not only does he have generous financial backing (a far cry from his previous outings which were financed by hard work and perspiration), but he has, too, the expertise of some of the nation’s most prestigious scientists. His scientific advisory board reads like the “Who’s Who?” But this is a new dimension of Bigfootology. When Morgan applied to the National Science Foundation for a grant only five years ago, his application was rejected. No reputable scientist would even talk to him about a man-like ape (or ape-like man) roaming the American wilderness."
