Leon Jaroff
Leon Jaroff was a senior editor at Time magazine.
Leon Jaroff was a senior editor at Time magazine. He is known for his article, "The Magician and the Think Tank," published on March 12, 1973, which reported on Uri Geller's testing at SRI and the controversy surrounding it1.
Jaroff's article was influenced by George Lawrence, an DARPA project manager, who told Jaroff that Geller was a "charlatan" and encouraged the magazine to write an exposé. Lawrence's unauthorized communication with a reporter was a violation of his security clearance, leading to an investigation by the Central Intelligence Agency1.
Jaroff's reporting contributed to the public debate and skepticism surrounding Geller's abilities and the government's involvement in ESP research1.
