Wilson's main claim against Sagan appears to be that Sagan initially
ranted against Velikovsky's ideas which were 'clearly' false, and then
when many of those ideas turned out to be true Sagan adopted them as his
own. There's a web page on the subject, but I don't have the URL handy.
Personally I'm no fan of Sagan, given his love of politically-motivated
science (e.g. 'Nuclear Winter').
