ELIZABETH LOFTUS “The research findings for which I am being honored now generated a level of hostility and opposition I could never have foreseen. People wrote threatening letters, warning me that my reputation and even my safety were in jeopardy if I continued along these lines. At some universities, armed guards were provided to accompany me during speeches.” (Elizabeth Loftus, on receiving the Association for Psychological Science’s William James Fellow Award, 2001.)
